Sup fellow 6G enthusiests, i need help.
My project is this: I have a 94 st and I would love to fix it. My car has tons of milage, dents and dings and scratches all over the place and even a knocking sound that seems to come from the top of the engine. I dont really mind the blemishes, but the knocking sound is what drives me crazy. Anyways, what i want to do is swap my old engine out, for this other one i got from my old job when i was a parts delivery guy. Now i have a 5s-fe sitting on blocks, and i want to give it a home under my hood. Can anyone tell me what, if anything, i can carry over from my 1.8 to my 2.2 (i.e.- transmission?)? plus im on a budget.. . . any tips, advise, or info would be appreciated. Thanks Fellas! |

so would this be a smart move , yes or nay?
$800 for a 5s,trans, ecu, and harness isn't all that bad well from my point of view. Why do this? Well for me I think it wouldn't be a bad idea since there's a 5s everywhere here so if something brakes I could find a replacment easy. Aftermarket support is a bit better then a 7a and turbo would be so much easier on that then the 7a as well. And last but not least I'm not looking for a full powerhouse as of now, so I would be happy as I stated before with 280fwhp, and I could easily reach that goal with the 5s+turbo. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica ST 25th Anni.
