Hey guys, so I'm gonna be doin an ST205 Swap this summer. I already have the motor and all the parts, now I have to choose from a celica GT or a celica ST. I will be getting an ST, but I also have access to a GT. Any ideas on which one would be easier? I know the ST I have to drill a hole for the GT motor mounts, but I dont believe that would be that hard. I also heard the wire for the fan is different for the ST but that shouldnt be too hard either. Is there anything else I should be considering? I also plan to do a GT Four brakes conversion, idk if the difficulty changes on the ST model because of the drum brakes. ST is a 94 so I wont have to worry about OBD II to get my emissions done where I live, the 97 GT however I do have to worry about it. Trying to weigh the pros and cons, any suggestions?

I personally would just do the ST, specifically for the omissions.
The differences between the swaps is not that much, sure there are some major items to acquire, but in the long run it would appear the ST would be better suited. When I was swapping to my ST I already had all the odd parts before I had the engine, wasn't that expensive. Just the transmission is the killer. Hell he could swap the drums onto the GT from the ST couldn't he? This post has been edited by rave2n: Mar 29, 2013 - 9:03 AM |
