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).

@Culpable: 4.3 sounds awesome, but i don't think it's even close to reality... the st205 can do 0-100 km/h in 5.9s and it probably lanches very well, because of 4wd. I'm talking about the standard, not modified 242hp 3sgte. If the fwd 3sgte could reach 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds or less, it's more than enough for what I want (the 400m, 1600m times will definately be better than the st205, since the 4wd is slower at high speeds). I'm not even interested in a rwd 3sgte setup (even if it's cheap and easy to do), if a fwd 3sgte can beat an awd 3sgte from 0-100 km/h.
Too bad I can't see some consistent numbers... @Death: got it, thanks for the advice! I got used to another kind of forum board and settings, where you can only edit your reply in 5 minutes, after that it can only be done by a moderator... @richee: it's obvious that a lighter car with the same engine is faster, but it's harder to launch from 0 km/h. About wheel hop, I don't think it can be solved... my car does that too, and it only has 175 hp... this problem cannot be solved if you change everything: lsd, engine mounts, bushes, springs, shock absorbers and also add sway bars and tower bars... I think the problem is that Celica has too long "lower arms" or whatever they're called. This post has been edited by quick_5hifter: Jan 17, 2011 - 1:58 PM -------------------- |
