After reading the big topic on celica.net Im almost convinced on the supercharged 5s. "Go with the 3s blah blah blah". NO, anywho the rippmods sounds pretty awesome. Unlike the fabled 3s.. you get all NEW parts and direct plug and play. So if your even contemplating the do a swap reply, in your upper left hand hand corner of your screen is a "Back" button go ahead an press it. SC 5sfe at 190whp out of a box is pretty awesome.

ME and my pops buy cars cheap, fix it up a little, and sell it, but I found a celica and felt like keeping it and then found this forum.

The popular choice was doing the 3SGTE swap. I was about to swap a 5SFE into my 7AFE(had over 100000miles, but was in real good shape) but this site helped me decide on the 3SGTE.

Either way I think I would have gone with the swap.

1. Because the front clip already included everything you needed for a turbo and the engine is made for a turbo.

2. The cost of turboing and swapping may have ended up costing almost the same, plus if I was going to turbo I would have had to buy a 7AFE or 5SFE anyways.

3. I wanted to do the GT4 front end and I felt that it needed its partner the GT4 engine even though i got the 2nd gen from stupid toysport..kuso BAKAs. (the ST185 was in great shape though and low mileage.

4. I evantually want to do AWD and the 3SGTE seemed to be the best engine option for that.

5. SWAPPING IS GREAT FOR A PROJECT...hehe it takes so much time and work

6. 3SGTE is capable of high HP especially since its already at 225hp and 225 torque(JDM) VS. the 5SFE or 7AFE which is 135 and 110. Stock 3SGTE can handle up to 300+. But with internal changes and bigger turbo it is possible up to over 700hp. really like that one

7 There aren't too many mechanics in my area who are competent to do the swap, but my mechanic who works for my dad was willing to give it a try and I try to consult this forum and people who have done it for any help. Even if I needed to fix it I think I somehow can find a way to fix it.

8. Smog is a problem, but my dad's shop does smog....

9. It feels like most turbo setups you have to go scavenging...hehe, but the burrien is still an option.

10. THE SWAP IS SO MUCH FUN....EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM SHOULD DO IT. Heh. Just playing, but everyone had the freedom to do what they want.

THERE IS NO POINT IN TRYING TO ARGUE FOR OR AGAINST THE SWAP OR TURBO/SC SETUP. Everyone likes to be different at some point.

I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO SAY THIS, BUT THIS TOPIC IS GETTING TO BE REAL SIMILAR TO POSTS IN SOME HONDA FORUMS ..tURBO VS. H22, B18C,ETC...

Anyways I just felt like saying that and I think some of the guys who are more for the turbo may b**** at me, but I think they have the freedom to choose to like the turbo setup more.
