for the amount of money you are going to spend on a 3S-GTE swap, you will spend half on a V6 swap

Not to mention the V6 makes the same power as the 2nd gen 3S-GTE, but NO LAG.



I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have never actually driven a 3sgte powered Celica.

Well said Art.
I don't agree that you'll spend half on a v6 swap, that's just crap.
My 3s swap had virtually no lag and would kill any v6 put into any Celica.
