Alright ... since the 3S-GTE orriginally belongs to an AWD vehicle ... and since AWD cars lose more power through the flywheel, then once you put on that mean engine on a FWD car ... would you actually be making more power than if you had AWD? I know AWD rules and gets insane traction and lunches like crazy so it would probably still be faster ... but I'm just wondering about the power.

I thought that Celicas had no problem with traction, even after the swap. I picked that up on this forum elsewhere a while ago. Well then, speakin of traction, for you guys that have done the swap already, how does the traction work our for ya?

who ever told you that was really wrong

any car will have traction problems when you more that double the power.

LSD usually helps, along with suspension mods and good tires.

good driver also makes a difference
