6G Celicas Forums

Since you have a GT you won't really need to upgrade your mounts. You should just purchase some kirkasaurous motor mount inserts. They are polyurethane inserts. Works pretty well for me. Since its a project car, I say its the best thing you can do to a Celica. I am in the process of a 3s swap myself and I am just waiting on my wiring harness.

You've got to do some research my friend. You already want to order one, yet you probbaly don't know much about the 3sgte. Its good you have a GT because the 3s will be a direct swap. The problem is, you will have a motor that will be making over 50% more power than your factory motor. Will gas mileage be better? No. If gas mileage is your concern don't do the swap. If all you want is power go for it. But do some research before you splurge all this money and regret it at the end.

Well, you can swap the 3sgte alot easier than if you had an ST. However its a 2.0L turbo and it wont give you better gas mileage. In fact it will be significantly worse. But with proper tuning you can easily have 300whp.
