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).

fastest confirmed quarter mile by a fwd sixth generation celica was presure2's 13.6.
that wasn't even with a 3sgte, but a 5sfte at 18 psi with drag radials. for comparison, 2010 subaru sti and mustang gt do 13.5 stock. that's the huge difference between fwd, rwd, and awd on the drag strip. |

(~305 or so whp, and ~320ftlbs) BFG drag radials ~15-16psi, and still had a 2.+ 60ft time. ran 108mph trap speed, pleanty enough speed for a mid 12's run with driver mod. im on the right on the slip: with the much better top end of the 3rd gen, and the extra ~30+whp available on a stockish setup with ~20-21psi of boost, i would definetly expect a pretty good improvement over that time for any of you guys who take your 3rd gens to the track, with a bit of practice ( i am VERY much still a noob at drag racing)
