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.

Personally, i have seen a few Celis that made the swap. My mechanic is an expert on the swap. Due to weight, the power on the fwd is greater. This is great in general but there is a very big problem to the swap.

The power of the engine (especially from the ST205) kills the transmission. I have seen a few Celis that did the swap that needed a new transmision within a week of the swap. This does not mean that the transmision of the celica is problematic. On the contrary my mechanic made the swap and drove his celica for 2.5 years without any problems. The he sold it and the new owner destroyed the transmision in 2 weeks because he believed he should race just about every car whenever he stopped at a traffic lights.

I have just drove a Celi with the swap. Engine had a few mods even before the swap. My mechanic tuned the engine down and limited the p.s.i because the car was able to spin with 4th gear.

So to make the Swap to race 1/4 miles? I just would not advice that.
