After trying to explain the similarities with the celica, coupe, and curren, ST, GT, GT4, 5sfe, 7afe, 3sgte, etc,... pretty much everything that is on this site, to a friend of mine he brought up a really good question. In the Curren models, the Currens that have the 3sfe (FS and XS) and the 4sfe(TS) would a 3sgte swap be similar as the ST (in US) swap? For example, having to get a new tranny (GT, or MR2T) plus having to new motor mounts?
As for the ZS model with the 3sge motor I know it would be kind of dumb to swap when it would be cheaper i think to just add a turbo. Anyway, if i can get some feed back on my first question i would appreciate it. Thanks, David This post has been edited by ToYCeLi8: Jan 30, 2005 - 8:34 AM |

All s series engines will bolt to the car the same way, and all s series trannys will bolt to the engine, but not necisarily all transmisions that bolt to the engine will fit in the car (IE the altezza trans, because it is RWD)
As for the GT tranny not holding up, so far my tranny feels fine. Actually quite strong, and I beet the hell out of it. |
