I've been debating on engine swaps and I have some questions. How reliable would a swapped car be? What swap would be the best for a daily diver?

200 is great for a Celica. The problem is that it comes at like 7,000 rpm. That's great if your driving style allows for very high revving all the time. Personally, I want my power at a more reasonable, usable rpm so I'm yanking my BEAMS out in lieu of a 3S-GTE. All three engines are great choices, each has its pros and cons. It all comes down to budget, driving style, and personal preference.

For the right price I may be interested in upgrading over just the regular 3sge. -------------------- -93 Rx7, Turbo 6.1L v8, 725rwhp/760rwtq
