Ive decided im doing the swap... Ive reasearched so much and the confusing part to me is. What engine will fit in my 1996 GT.

These are some that i found...

-97 Toyota-celica st205 3s-gte complete motor + 5spd-4wd m/t + wire harness + non ecu (big turbo) (motor set) 245hp

-94 Toyota-Celica ST185 3S-gte complete motor + 5spd-m/t + ecu + wire harness (motor set) 225hp us$ + shipping

-87-90 toyota-celica ta63 3t-gte+5spmt (complete motor, + ecu + wire harness ) (monthly special

Those are 3 choices i found so far. VenusAuto.. Any info is needed i want to purchase stuff this weekend..

Thank you

over all everything runs great.....but you have to remember that now you own a turbo car, and that just needs more love and care. it will be the same way if you get the ripp charger tho. just get ready to pop the hood more often to doubble check how things are running. over all, its still a realiable toyota. there are lots of mr2 and alltrac owners out that the proove the motor is very realibable.

i dont really have anything else to tell except, NOT to get the motor/tranny combo. get a clip! you learn so much by just taking the 3s out of clip, you get lots of spare parts, you get to lable every plug and hose, so that you know where they go to later, you can sell off tons of parts, etc.....
