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).

Theres not much in it at all, 4WD will get away 1st, and hold its ground long enough that the FWD will struggle to pass it before 400m.
From there on, Any additional power is more useful to the 4WD since spinning all the way through 3rd gear isnt going to help. -------------------- Mike W
