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).

RWD celica is as possible as the one I saw on pass time this weekend ( on demand ) some guy here in NJ owns a 1995 celica with a small block V8 on it.
as far as keeping it more " stockish " goes, you would need all the rear stuff from a ST205 with a stronger rear diff, and the front will need some custom work, but is perfectly possible, just takes time and money like anything else. the whole AWD converted to RWD transmission idea is dumb, if the point of RWD instead of AWD, then why use the heady transversad mounted trans ? what weight savigns would be achived ? yes, is the easiest of the way of doing it, but not even close to the best efficient. 3sgte + IS200 trans and rear diff, with ST205 rear subframe, now that would be something to stare at. -------------------- |
