hello to everyone i'm new here and i was wondering how much does it cost to swap my engine(i drive a 94 st coupe) with a gt4 engine ?

[rjbibeau]

welcome to the board you can use the search feature on the site or you can look at the sticky in the engine part of the forum

around $25K for a complete swap.

haha no man its like around 3000 all together maybe. Welcome to the site. swapping an engine isn't as easy as it sounds man, go turbo kit.

thanks for the info guys. thought about the turbo kit, but a buddy of mine said that there not all that reliable and that they need more attention than a swap

[rjbibeau]

it's gonna be more than that if you want a clip and depending if your gonna pay someone else to do it. it all factors in.

Actually, clips require a lot more work. While the 5sfe engine might not be made for boost, it can handle small amounts with little attention (just make sure you have oil) a 3sgte swap needs a ton of tuning and attention before it runs right.

this project is probably going to require tons and tons of research oh no!!!

Welcome! i see you are true to your name...

Ive seen people on the boards do the swap for around $3000 or properly for $5000+

You should look around and see which people did the swap, what they did and PM them about the total cost.

Turbo is a good route as well, depending on your power and overall goals for your car. There are some great stickies at the top of the Engine/Performance section with tons about turboing and the 3s swap. Check them out! they are a good read...

If your to, pardon the pun, lazy to do the research you shouldnt be doing a swap.

guys, he has an ST
he'll be more near 5k than 3

psssh

5000 no cheaper, sorry to burst bubbles. 3000 grand if you do it yourself, including the wiring harness no one can figure out.

it's true i am lazy but i love my car.
let me give you some info about me.
i was born in chicago lived there till i was 11 and moved to greece,but with me came a 94 celica.My problem is that i can't find any parts for my celica here and i have to order them from the U.S.so i need more money and more time and research than you guys,
so thats why i seem to have this "lack of energy"
don't get me wrong,but thank you all for the advise

[thedevilmaycrie]

you gotta st that means you have an a class engine keep it a class a do a 4agze swap or like coomer do a 4age 20v swap........ of course theres always a 7agte hehehe...

well your in greece so try getting some stuff to from cyprus thats closer than US and they got more celica's hooked up than i've ever seen in one place.

[Coomer]

What makes you want a 3S-GTE? What are your goals for the car?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Your gonna get all different answers about cost


i believe if you want it done right - to the point you are pretty much guranteed it wont break in a month or two then ur look at somewhere over 6 g's <--JMO!!!!

but if you wanna do it the umm cheaper route with some problems down the line then yeah ur looking at under 5 g's im sure!

[thedevilmaycrie]

whoa stop the bus... your in europe?!?!?!? what are you doin kid get a gt4!!! lol what am i thinkin telling you to do a 4agze

I know some overseas Celicas came with the 7A-FE, like Romas' car.
