Fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swaps, 0-100km/h, 400m, 1600m time ? Options

[quick_5hifter]

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).

i just wanted to add my two cents about fwd set ups and numbers:)

first of all like culp said its all about the driver and how good he is. secondly you really have to look at what tranmission your using...for time, traction, and weight.

s54 or e153, both can fit the gen3 3s..i for one had both in my car. i can tell u one thing is that.. the s54 you feel everything since it much lighter and has low rpm range and very very torqy. the e153 is heavy and has high rpm range, torqy but its heavy so you dont feel all the power, when you do launch you dont have that much wheel spin compared to the s54.

as for 205 vs swap 204..on track time..thats a hard one to call.
the facts is that once you get to a certain speed, the awd loses power due to the power ratio to all the wheels, and since swap 204 is only fwd the power ratio to the front is all but equal and the power band will be constant.

so in reality and if you really want to be certian do a meet up there with 10 awd and 10 swap gen3 204's and have them run each other to see who beats who.

fwd swap gen3 isnt bad at all.. trust me i alway use to tell people that they shouldnt judge a books by its cover.

ooh if you look hard enough on here..there is a clip where a 5sgte beats a 3sgte..thats when its all about the driver hehe!!!!!
