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).

Well to agree with Quick_shifter, some of use would/could find a use out of 3sge blocks. They are easier to find in many cases, and they are nearly indentical to the 3sgte block. Perfect for a rebuild option.
But i see what you mean MKernz, in that why pay 800-2000 for a 3sgte that can accept lower compression, forged internals for a turbo build, and then have to worry about all the other nessicites that you would need, when you could start off with a 3sgte and just go from there.... Then again, im not choosing sides just trying to see everyone's point of veiw...honestly where i stand right now, it is just a case by case basis...depends on what you can do and what price you are willing to pay!! -------------------- (\__/)
