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).

the 4 things that have the most impact on your 1/4 mile time on a FWD car are these
1- LSD 2- Coilovers ( rear raised and on its hardest setting, front slightly softer setting and lower than the rear ) 3- good tires 4- good driver if you look into those FWD drag cars running 10s and lower, you'll find that most of them are running solid rear struts, that way there is no kick back, thus keeping the weight on your front tires, LSD will help deliver the power to the ground as well as keeping the car going straight, a good set of drag radials wouldn't hurt at all, and of course someone who can take advantage of this, even with the best setup you need to know your car, and know when to shift, especially on our cars with 3s engine, the torque will smoke the tires very easy if you go past the limit of your tirers. I'm very confident that someone with enough drag racing experience and the setup I mentioned above can run high 12's on a 3rd gen swapped car. I have everyting listed except for the " good driver " part lol -------------------- |
