The difference between MR2 turbo trans. and ST205? Options

[celica_122]

O.K... So I plan on swaping my 5sfe for a heavily built 3sgte with aprox 500hp. I was originally planing on just using my current trans. But people are telling me that the 5sfe trans are weak and won't hold the power. The engine I'm buying is the gen 3 st205 motor and it comes with the awd trans. Is there anyway to convert it to fwd? And if I did would it be any stronger than the one I have? Or should I use the MR2 trans.? And what the hell is the difference?

the awd tranny is stronger, but i dont believe anyone has tried (because of $$$ reasons) to make it a strickly FWD tranny.

3rd.
if u really plan to do this, the E153 LSD trany from a Mr2 turbo would be the way to go.

4th
the tranny u pick wont matter...because with 500whp on a fwd car, your going to wheel spin untill like 4th gear.

A guy on celicatech.com has done it. Check the stickies, that post should be there somewhere.
