6G Celicas Forums

I have been planning on doing a 3sgte engine swap into my 1994 Celica ST.

I know I need the ST205 motor mounts, but I am wondering what transmission to get with it? I know that I can use the 5SFE transmission, though I hear it is not very reliable to hold the power. I also have heard that I can use a transmission for the MR2, although I an not sure which one.

If anyone could help me out with deciding what transmission I could get for this swap, that would be nice. I am also planning on putting a more powerful clutch in also, so take that into account.

Hey,

I am going to be doing a 3sgte swap to my 1994 Celica ST (coupe). Ive done most of the research but i constantly get either misinformation or contradicting facts.

I am to understand that the 3sgte bolts easily into the '94 ST's engine bay, and it can use the same mounts as the original engine did (7afe I think?). I was wondering if anyone could clarify this for me, and if so, if anyone might know where I could acquire some new motor mounts for the swap.

I am also looking to custom fit a front mount intercooler to the front of the car, and was wondering if anyone knew how feasable this is, and also where to get some custom piping if so?

Lastly, Ive been reading about the transmissions that you can swap with, and I was wondering what the best one to do with this particular swap. I was planning on using the 2nd gen. tranny because it comes with the engine, and seems to be the easiest to do it with. whats the best option when it comes to this?

Thanks, Will
