by now we have a few members on here that did the 3sgte swap and about a million that dream about having it.

for all those who have a 3sgte in their fwd, tell us all the things you like and all the things you dont like about the 3sgte. please describe in detail your 1st impressions, street racing, and daily driving in your swapped celica and compare it to how things were before you got the swap. include pics and videos if you can! smile.gif

chillin right now bought a house and I rebuilt and re-installed the engine back in January...Monday im going up to the shop to pick it up from a shop im having them put a stand alone in it and dyno tune it heres the EMS --->Megasquirt&spark<----. they took it to the dyno yesterday i dont know what it put down they were still there when i called and hadnt ran it yet. right now im shooting for 240-250 to the ground for now and the ultimate hp goal is 290-300 whp.


cool r u running a hybrid?did you need forged pistons and larger injectors for 300whp?

I dont have 300whp now, but thats what im aiming for. From the researh ive gathered the stock internals should be able to hold up if they dont, I dont mind yanking the engine out again and installing the forgies. but yes to acheive 300 to the ground, u will need to go with the supra injectors. And a bigger turbo will be needed as well. this is the one im thinking about getting next summer Street brawler and it should put me right where i want to be
