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).

1.LSD - when I'll do the swap, I'll keep my GT manual gearbox. Could an LSD for that gearbox do the job?
2.Coilovers - I'm hoping that a set of top adjustable Koni Yellow dampers and a set of Tanabe DF210 springs will successfully replace a set of coilovers. I can set the rear dampers to maximum stiffness (and believe me, they are very firm even now, on OEM springs). Also, the Tanabe springs are supposed to lower the car 2.2 inch in the front and 1.5 in the back. That sounds good if it's true, I haven't received them yet... How about the clutch? Is that "hybrid" clutch strong enought, considering that the clutch disc would be the small, GT disc? One question: did any owner of a FWD 3sgte 6 gen Celica do 0-100 km/h in 5 seconds or less? I really don't trust that online calculator, I've calculated 0-100 time for all of my previous cars and it's not very accurate (for example, my Celica with the actual setup should reach 100 km/h in 7,3s, which is 0.6 seconds faster than reality, which seems alot to me). -------------------- |
