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 |

Theres someone stateside who did a front end Curren conversion with 3sgte swap - although it was a Celica you can still do it.
Also the 3sge is high compression and the 3sgte is low compression thats why turboing a 3sge will yield different results than a 3sgte. It'll be more powerful however less reliable. -------------------- |
