So today I had a good friend of mine recommend this asian guy who speicalizes in japanese engines and trannys. I went there with my 94 Celica GT so he can take a look at it and I asked him for a 4th gen 3SGTE swap. He started the work estimate and then asked me if I wanted to convert it to 4WD well I said what the hell why not. So with EVERYTHING included complete motor(4th gen 3SGTE), ecu, harness, transmission, rear 4WD conversion, labor, additional parts, and performace tuning (300HP), the whole thing came out to $6,864.50. My question is........is it worth it? confused.gif

Thats what I thought too, but no one's coming forward with this. Well I guess I'm going to have to hunt some people down. LOL. But it would be nice if one of those celica owners saw this thread and give us some info since the awd conversion has already been done to their cars.


--------------------
98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
94 Celica st black DD (bad weather beater)- totaled deer
95 Celica gt silver- chassis sold
88 Celica All-Trac (Burned to a crisp)

In need of a rust free chassis!!!!
