6G Celicas Forums

right now my GT is completely stock and im looking to do some upgrading. BUT i dont want to look like a total ricer. So im thinking about just putting in a bigger engine. Any suggestions?

The ubiquitous 3S-GTE. Turbo'd and power ranging from 239 to 255 hp for the 3rd gen. There are others, i.e. V6 swaps, BEAMS if you really wanna get into that business...but do a search, and you'll be able to get a range of so many engines you'll puke.

Edit: since you have a 5S-FE, going turbo is also a very feasible option.

I suggest you grab a comfortable chair.

ok. id consider forced induction but that can be pretty pricy. id like to put a v6 in there haha

I'm pretty sure the 3S-GTE is one of the more affordable swaps out there, period...there have been V6 swaps done, the last featured car is actually one, and a very clean one at that.

The problem is that most other engines will require a bunch of different hardware whereas the 3S-GTE, especially because you have the appropriate transmission already, is a lot more plug and play.

1MZ-FE V6 swap.

i have an auto. thats the right transmission?

I assumed you had a manual...no, I'm pretty sure the auto can't handle the power. Pretty sure an S54 is what you'd need.

thats bmw isnt it?

No, no, no. It's either the S54 or E153, but either way, a manual GT tranny is what you need.

o ok. honestly dont know too much about celicas. this was my first car just trying to make it something i can keep for a long time cause i like it so much =/.

No worries man, I'm just passing along a small sliver of info I've learned...I don't know anything either and it's my first car as well.
