What to choose? engine swap Options

[momentai99]

Okay guys I have a 94 GT with a 5 speed manual trans. Well i'm ready for an engine swap or a change sooner than later, maybe a turbo?
How difficult would it be to do a 3sgte swap? would I have to change the axles or trans?

I'm looking at total cost and labor if I handle most of it.

In before the V6 vs 3S argument!

We can't really tell you what engine you want. That's totally up to you, whether you want N/A or boost, what your budget is, future power goals, etc. You can do a V6 swap on a reasonable budget, but you will be limited in how much extra power you can get out of the engine later. Or for more money, you can swap a 3S-GTE in and get more power out of it pretty easily. Both are good swaps, but we can't tell you which one best suits your needs. You can use your S54 trans and axles for either swap.

Cheap and simple for now,something I could possibly throw an automatic tranny into to shut the wife up about not being able to drive the celica because she refuses to learn to drive stick and she loves the car.
