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??? -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

a guy on the uk celica-club got 188bhp from his 3s-ge thats with an induction kit cat back exhaust and dastek uni chip all setup on the rolling road, the peak bhp isnt as good as you would hope but if you look at his graphs theres plenty of improvment lower down , 5k theres a 15bhp increase also the increase in torgue below 3k must make it a dream to drive , if he added a decat and got a better cold air feed setup i recon he could see close to the 200bhp
