This year I'm doing the 3sgte swap for sure, I'm already saving money for it. The problem is:
-as far as I've read on 6gc forums, nobody has done the st205 tranny swap (for AWD/4wd); weight would be about the same as a gt4, so why bother swap instead of buying the gt4? -242 hp on the front wheels seem like too much power for FWD; nobody here has ever shown results of a fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swapped Celica, so I think that, despite the ~200 kg "earned" by eliminating AWD, performances are not better than the original ST205. So, is there any way of using the 3sgte gearbox on rear wheels transmission and cancel the front wheels transmission? (this probably is a stupid noob question, maybe someone else already asked that question before, but I just couldn't find any answers about it).

Dude I've beaten BPU Evo's and STI's - the FWD swapped Celica is very fun car and it's quick too.
But if you are in an area where you can buy a GT4 why not just sell yours and get one? I personally wouldn't cause my car and I are joined at the hip and I wouldn't give her up for a heavier car even for the AWD [I'd probably just have two ]. Furthermore, there is reason why the 1st and 2nd gen Eclipses [a similar platform in most respects] as well as the Caldina GT4 and GT-T came in both FWD Turbo and AWD Turbo - cause both are fun and good for different motor sports. But an AWD swap can and has been done as was shown to you before. -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
