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).

you are taking this wrong.
it wasn't a dumb idea to ask, and honestly a RWD 6th gen is not a dumb idea either, is out of my price range, but certainly not dumb, it's been done, more than once. your example of CF and stereo, dont apply as these items fit with no modification, 3sgte engine in your car will require modification, so so would RWD or AWD conversions. as for accurate 0-100 km acceleration times on a swapped car, I don't think I've seen consistent numbers yet, it varies from setup to setup and depending on how good the driver is. but with the average power and weight of these cars ( 3rd gen 3sgte weighting around 2700 lbs ) 0 - 100 km should be around 4.3 seconds -------------------- |
