Newbie needing help Options

[Dege20]

Hey! I'm new here so this is kinda a saying hello post and asking for advise. I have a 94 celica gt-s and lately as my motor as been gaining kilometers (I'm Canadian) I have been thinking about rebuilding the engine but I've always wanted more power so I've been researching motor swaps. So i'm wondering what would be my best option. 3S-GE? or the 3S-GTE? I was told the AWD motor can be fwd all i needed was a MR2 tranny and drive shaft? I'm not sure how true that is so I'm asking what i should do! Would the red top 3S-GE be noticeable from the 2.2 in mine already? I'm pretty sure it has the 5S-FE.

Being you have the GT you can use your transmission for either the BEAMS or 3S-GTE. Another option is the 1MZ-FE V6 but it takes a little more work to pull off, can still use your transmission with it though. It just depends on what you're wanting out of your car. If you'll be happy with 200hp and still want decent fuel mileage go with the BEAMS or 1MZ. One advantage of the 1MZ is any parts for it can be easily found locally or online, it is out of a Camry(and many other cars sold in the North American market) so there's an advantage there. Then you have to decide if you want a car that's low end power biased(1MZ) or top end power biased(BEAMS), or if you want 250+ you'll want to go with the 3S-GTE. Plenty of members on here have done each swap and have made posts detailing such. I suggest flipping through the "My Projects" section of the forum to get some ideas on what you want to do.
