7afe to a 5sfe, is it worth it? Options

[gregsju29]

I was wondering if it was worth swapping my 7afe to a 5sfe,,i know there's not much hp difference, but there's more options such as a turbo and headers. And this would be cheaper then a 3s-gte. what do u think? and does anyone know if this would fit in my car without too much custom work??

no, not worth it. why swap a 135 hp engine when you can swap a 160 hp one for about the same money. 4AGE 20v for those who are too poor for the 4AGZE and 3SGTE. Turbo if you have low miles on your 7A, it will give you ~190 at the wheels @ 8 psi !!

seems like I typed that out already, you should try a search before posting new topics.

Werd! Go with the 3S-GTE!

i'd go with the 4a-gze...it comes with boost, huge after market support, isn't half as costly as a 3s-gte, parts are easier to come by (than a 3s), and it looks so sweat under the hood..its what should have been
i'm sure everyone knows the 3s is the ****..it goes pretty much without saying. but i like to try to stay within my limits. i mean if we all had the cash flow to do what we really wanted..we probably wouldn't even be driving a celica...well, maybe a AWD celica, but the words Supra, NSX, 300zx TT or 350Z, Audi 1.8 T, M3, 3000GT so on and so forth come to mind. don't get me wrong, i luv the celica with all her agressive looks and mad potential, but it really does take a lot of time, cash, and frustration to tap into that mad potential. can you feel me? i'm just saying, take the celica for what it is, a fun mofo'n car. if you have dreams of mad HP and super car status go for a car thats readilly capable of it...or be prepared for the dedication of a long costly journey of frustrasion...Amen

SmokeThis Amen man I could agree with you more. I do love my celica and I going to drive it till I can't drive it anymore. I few weeks ago I posted a question LOOKS OR PROFORMENCE. after finding out how much time and money goes into proformence I'm going for looks.
