Well before I get further no I dont hqve a butt load of money and I wouldn't wqve that anyone's face to begin with I just want to do something everyone says can't be done .

Its been done before. Seen pics here and there of the same one. Maybe I've clip of it too. You'd have to do a lot of axel work, cut through the fire wall to make it fit, maybe even widen space for the tranny. As awesome as it sounds, id personally go with a 3sgte with the celica 4wd axel/trans.

its just one of those things you have to do for YOU. because not alot of people are going to agree with it. When you complete it, those same few will appreciate it. while others will bash it. just apart of the game. i say go for it!

Not impossible just very time consuming and a lot of custom work ... Your best bet would be to find a supra, is300, or sc300 and take the entire car and start doing the custom work and see what doesn't need to be custom

Nothing is impossible! But nothing is cheap, either haha.
Having a 2jz myself, I would personally prefer a lighter, higher-revving engine in the Corolla, like the 3sgte or 4age. Something that will be really quick, rather than have a ton of HP.

I look at it this way if you cant afford to do a proper turbo build or a proper swap at a lower level then a 2j swap will rape you in price and it will take even longer if the cash flow is low .
Its a good idea if you have the cash like pedro done with his cars because he buys top of the line products . regardless if its a bolt or a big part . but a 2j swap will definitly run you some money .

I had pics of an ae101 with 2 jz, its not impossible, but like rincon rolla said, it will drain your pocket Here in puerto rico a 2jz is 2,000$ and i think its the engine only

Yeah if you do want to do this swap, I'd budget $10k no kidding.

its been done putting one in a FWD corolla. Converting it to RWD gotta make custom mounts for both the engine and rear end. Cut and weld room for the transmission and motor. Complete wiring to be done. then of course the tune. And may run into some extra obstacles. You can get a 2JZGE for like 500 and then a manual you can either go 5 speed with a R154 which is like 700-900 for a good one or a 6 speed V160 which is like 3 to 5 grand. Whats gonna cost you the most is the fabrication and custom wiring.

Here's what I was thinking I could let me know what you guys think cause this is going to happen just dont know when lol. I was thinking about getting a entire front clip from a donor car take about a foot and a half from both left and right sides fabricating eome brakets up detach my front clip weld everything together and make some special enginemounts and do the rest by myself what do you guys think am I missing anything im sure I am lol.

when you said front clip that includes the firewall and trans tunnel?where you have to measure how deep the engine needs to be, and the transmission space in the tunnel, so you can properly determine where the mounts gonna be.

Oh really I was just thinking I'd use the doner car's front end and hack that up for like said about a foot on both fenders to elongate my front end so I don't have to cut into the firewall and fab up some bracing mounts for the added weight sm I forgetting anything im sure I am

You are forgetting a lot this takes a lot of research for that car to be functional it will take more than just gettin the motor in and wired ... Bigger brake set up ... Research in the right suspension set up ... The right Chassis reinforcement ... The right rear end set up ... Building the motor correctly the right tune .... Understanding power to weight ratio I mean there's so much more you must really do all your research man before thinking of doing this

Say that to the poeple doing these swap they don't research they just cut and weld until its in all the pics I seen are across seas where technology isn't up to date

And that's why there is no real video of those cars doing anything functional but just sitting

Do you know of any good sights or places to get extra info on this maybe I should talk to a bidy shop what do you guys think would be a good place to start.

i would talk to a performance shop that is good at fabrication imo.
