i have a ra65 celica... i have some eibach sportline springs.. lower 1 inch.. i also need new engine... according to my trusty auto mechanic... i have the 22re.. what is the supra engine model for a 1984 celica supra? would it be possibe to fit the same year supra engine in my vehicle? if it is.. would it even be worth it? or should save up and buy a different car? jsut wondering...

The supra came with the 5MGE motor in American cars. It's an in-line 6-cylinder motor. They went to twin-cam in 1982 and it pumped out 145HP. IN the 85-86 models, it had over 160HP. <br><br>The problem in it being the six-banger is that it weighs quite a bit more than the celica's four-banger, and so even with your eibach springs, you'd most likely have to change over again to supra springs and struts, etc. I'm not sure but I think the supras used a different radiator, and you'd obviously have to change the computer box over for the fuel injection.<br><br>It's basically a big pain in the ass. If you really want good power, I'd suggest getting another car. But on the other hand, the GT-S is a wonderful handling machine, and you can do things like intake, exhaust and cam changes to the 22RE motor that won't totally break the bank.<br><br>My 1984 GT-S coupe needs a new head, but that isn't stopping me from having fun with it. You might want to surf the net for crate motor companies. You can get a good rebuilt 22RE (even modified) for under $2000 U.S. dollars at some places, and with a warranty. The 22RE motor was used a lot in Toyota trucks, so there's plenty around.<br><br>I'll have my GT-S up and going next summer, and if things work out, I'll put in a rebuilt later on and then take it to the track with the Porsche Club. I used to play with the German stuff.<br><br>B.J.R.
