Ok so a few months ago I trade my winter beater truck for a 94' Celica GT. needs bodywork but runs great. Has over 200k on body but only 100k on 2.2L engine and 5 speed trans. So i gave this car to my girl and we have been toying with the idea of making it fast. My idea is that my buddy has a 91' MR2 turbo that has a 3SGTE engine in it. and when he got it, he was given an extra 3SGTE block. so i was thinking of maybe buildng that up and maybe putting that into the celica with a turbo (probly a CT20b or something). my question is. how easy are these engine to mount into the celica and get working? can i use the stock trans? and what kind of ecu or tuning software will i need?? Or should i just throw a turbo on the stock 2.2L motor? I basically just want some advice cuz these cars are a little new for me. Im a expert in the 3s field ;-)

I wouldn't use the word easy, but doable FOR SURE. Just do lots of research and go through the stickys on this site, everything you need is up here.
