Hey Im wondering if I swap my engine for a 3sgte which i think is for a mr 2, would I need to get a performance chip for a mr2 or a celica? not too sure how the electrics work for that sort of thing.

Yeah bro. Install that on your car for quick HP gain. You can install one per cylinder for 4X the gain. You should also look into a few of these. You'd be faster than a motor swap with all of these awesome mods.

Okay now that we got that out of the way.


It is pretty clear you are already in over your head here. Lets leave motor swaps aside for now and talk about "performance chips". They don't work. They don't do anything other than trick the car to think the throttle is higher than it really is. You can do the same thing for FREE by putting your foot down farther.

Just out of genuine curiosity - how would you even go about doing a motor swap? Do you consider yourself mechanically inclined?
