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).

13-14 second 1/4 is quick enough already. if you want faster, build your whole engine otherwise you'll start breaking things.

Uhh, I've heard of others putting down +700 WHP on the 3SGTE engine and have not even rebuilt any internals. Never seen it first hand, but a bunch of people I know have talked about the same car. Plus, he's been running it at the track for over 6 months now. But that's 3sgTe, I know the non-turbo'd edition has weaker internals. -Ryan |
