Hey guys, so I'm gonna be doin an ST205 Swap this summer. I already have the motor and all the parts, now I have to choose from a celica GT or a celica ST. I will be getting an ST, but I also have access to a GT. Any ideas on which one would be easier? I know the ST I have to drill a hole for the GT motor mounts, but I dont believe that would be that hard. I also heard the wire for the fan is different for the ST but that shouldnt be too hard either. Is there anything else I should be considering? I also plan to do a GT Four brakes conversion, idk if the difficulty changes on the ST model because of the drum brakes. ST is a 94 so I wont have to worry about OBD II to get my emissions done where I live, the 97 GT however I do have to worry about it. Trying to weigh the pros and cons, any suggestions?

ST205 and ST202 shares the same radiator. Well, at least aftermarket ones are interchangeable between the two.

Otherwise I wouldn't have just spent money for one on my swap if the GT/202 one would have worked =P But they mount all the same, and you will need new hoses, GT ones won't work.

Well I'll have the AT200, I dunno about the ST202 whether they are similar or not when it comes to the radiator. So are you saying that even if I swapped into a ST204, I'd still have to get new hoses? Well either way it seems like the radiator and hoses on the clip won't be able to just swap across. So would I just buy an aftermarket radiator for the ST204 for the swap? |
