6G Celicas Forums

my buddy just bought a 95 T/A all done up and i want one real bad...a 3s-gte will keep up with him no doubt but im so close to just selling everyhting i have and buying an LS1 its not even funny...im not looking forward to doing this swap for some reason so i need my fellow 6GCers to boost up my spirits and get me on the right track...or else shes going in the for sale section very very soon...good luck

i think you will appreciate the celica more once you put some hard work into it, especially and engine swap.

but no 4 cyl can keep up with a good ls1
put that swap money into mods on a ls1 and itl stomp.... c5 turbo kit will do the job!

if you NEED someone to CONVINCE you to KEEP your car.... just... SELL IT... It's not what you want anyways

Get a car you want. nobody should have to convince u on keepin ur celica. its ur choose hell get the trans! my buddy stomps on everythin on the road. though he already been through 3 motors and now has the newest vett motor the 6.somthin ltr. their fast as hell but break like no other. g/l though wit which ever u decide.

yep! chevy is ****!

X3
well put dustin

no i hear what everyone is say but its not like i want to get rid of my celica...its on the the nicest looking cars on the road and i love it to death...thats why i bought the whole front clip for it...its just i get these ideas in my head and i act before i think so i figured id ask your oppinions on the matter

BTW chevy is not sh*t!!! chevy rocks

You are comparing different cars made for different reasons.

The celica will own the TA in other types of races.

3sgte for life.

x2 - until you've driven you'll never understand

Im pretty sure you'll be getting the LT1 not the LS1 in a 95.

and most importantly V8 gas > I4 gas

the LS1 is 98 and newer...the LT1's went up to 97 im pretty sure...i looking for an LS1...and its still all up in the air...3s-gte sounds really satasifying but i just dont know...DAMN IT!!!

That's indeed a good word for it
Not to down the LS1's - I LOOOOOVE that motor - too bad I hate every sloppy POS they put it in

after thinking about it. id dont suggest the 3sgte, if its your first taste of boost. once it gets a foothold on you theres no stopping it from draining you wallet.

^^^ i don't even have the 3sgte yet and my car is draining my wallet already... what more if i have the swap? lol

im use to it draining my wallet...my plan is to drop it in this summer with little mods (boost controler, a good tune, water injection etc.) then next summer go big with a larger turbo, cams, bore it out, forged everything the whole 9 yards) i still want to do the celica really bad but the thought of dropping 6-8k on an LS1 and being just as fast with out all this time and work just distracts me...A LOT...its all i thought about today at work...just weighing out the good and bad of both...and so far there quite even...i still dont know what to do

your just getting pre-swap anxiety. a decent amount of work is lying ahead of you and you are getting nervous. just stick with what you have...we'd all hate to loose you in this community

We've all been there - thinking exactly what you are right now.
For me it's the lack of mullet and appropriate hairband music to really give the LS1 cars what they deserve.
Plus boost is the greatest feeling in the world

LS1 over Celica any day.. love it or hate it.. lol.. , esp. after a swap.. whoknows what kind of problems u will run into w a swap.. $$ etc..
