i'm an owner of a st204 97 celica and ive been researching a lot on options for getting more power out of my celica. the 3SGTE swap seems like the better option over a turboed 5SFE but i heard that FWD celicas with the 3SGTE swap that are useless in 1st to 4th gear because of having too much power and not getting traction till the top of 4th gear.
can someone verify this? |

There is going to be traction problems with most FWD's.
For the GT tranny its the matter of if it can handle power. Now if you aren't go too high power setup then you can just get a LSD. There are different stories with the GT tranny some people say 225hp is too much, some say 250hp....and Burien Toyota says they have up to 300hp no problem... It really depends, but basically FWD has the most traction problems out of other drivetrains. And for the swap, go for it, but if you really want to go high HP...over 300? Get the 3SGE tranny, MR2 Turbo tranny..etc. |
