Hey all, I've owned my '94 Celica ST for about a year now, and my step-sister owned it before before that, and her mom before that... Anyway its been in the family a wile and has almost 200k miles on it.

I'm planing on doing an engine swap with the 3S-GTE sooner or later, but I've been reading about VVT-i on the new toyota engines... and I've seen it put on the older supra 2JZ engines... I was wondering if it can be done to Gen3/Gen4 3S-GTE engine.

Also what tranny would you guys sugest? (Its currently an automatic, want to change to a manual...)

as long as you get a tranny that is in good shape and has not been beaten to death, you should be just fine with it. mine has never given me any problems. just make sure u put a clutch in there that can handle the power.
