This maybe sounds strange. Ive been here about 5 months and have seen lots of guys with engine swaps. Mainly because you US peeps do not have to same engines as we got.

I was thinking to myself, "Is it worth all the money and trouble to either upgrade my 3S-GE engine or do a Turbo swap (3rd gen 3S-GTE)"
I already have 177 horses under the hood.

So this question goes out to al of the swappers and turbo driven 7A/5S celica owners.

Would you have considered doing a swap or upgrade if you had a 3S block in your car???

Do not know about the rev limiter on the ST but on the GT with 3s-ge its 7200 and you cannot change unless you have a complete diffrrent ECU (AFAIK)
