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).

Wheel hop can't really be solved in our cars at all. But as I said, and you know, all you can really do is try to cut down on it. We can find numbers on the ST205 because it was a factory produced car and it was put through several tests. But you will NOT be able to find consistent numbers for a 3S FWD swap because every single swap is different. Everyone is using a different transmission, has different exhaust, etc. No two 3S swaps on here are putting down the same amount of power, nor have they been tested using any standard testing equipment. Just whatever drag strip they've been too. Therefore, every 3S swap will be putting down different numbers. All you can really find is that the 3S swap will be a better top end car and the ST205 will be a better car for launching.
