I NEED HELP BADDLY!!, 3sgte Options

[twhite66]

i have a 1996
celica gt its the 2.2
(5sfe) ive found headers for it on ebay, cant find cams anywhere
or full exhaust so im looking into gettin something i can mod i look into the 3sgte almost everyday but noone gives me a strait answer, so id figure most of you guys know your ****

will the 3sgte engine fit in my car *AND WORK*
people say it will but i dont see how and all track engine will work in a fwd
what all will i need for the swap?

[x_itchy_b_x]

Yes.


The search button and the Stickys in the Forced Induction area are all you need to read. good luck with your project.

[snapshotgt]

Yes. You don't use the 4wd tranny, you swap a fwd tranny on there. MANY members have done this 3sgte swap, look at itchy for example...

+1 on the search button comment. Good luck.

Second Step : What model do you have ST(like me) or a GT.
IF you have a GT its a little easier for you guys. The 5sfe Tranny bolts right up to the 3sgte engine. Most people will bash the 5s tranny saying it wont hold the power. We have a few guys running the 5s tranny with no problems.
Other options: E-153 MR2 turbo tranny with LSD
1mzfe tranny found on Solaras
3sge tranny found on a number of Toyotas


check out this thread, their are tons other too

3SGTE only came auto ( to my acknowledge ) on some caldinas, but it doesn't matter the engine can be obtain from a auto tranny equipped car.

[Dragondog]

where do you get the 3stge? what car does it come from? whats the diff to 5sfe?

[jcaron9gt4]

please research....but the 3sgte came in celica gt-4's. Main difference is it is a 2.0 turbocharged engine compared to the 2.2 N/A 5sfe
