A mate of mine wants to drop a celica GT4 turbo engine into his n/a Celica. However he's a bit stuck finding a source of supply.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Give Adrian a call at Fensport. If anyone can find one for you he can. http://www.fensport.co.uk/

Oh, and he dropped a 3S-GTE from a ST205 GT4 into a Corolla SR and is running 370bhp (at the moment) setup as FWD. It is a bit quick

Cheers

Ian

Nightmare!! GT4's are an absolute nightmare to work on. The ST205 being slightly easier in some respects than the older ST185. The ST185 engines do have cooling issues, and have a tendancy to blow head gaskets. The ST205 is a much better engine than the older car, although the turbocharger is crap. No good if you want any power.
