Need Some Engine Swap Advice Options

[wogstaa]

Hi guys,

I've decided that I'm keeping my Celica (st204) and will very likely be looking at doing an engine swap.

I was thinking a beams red top but then it seems like a 3sgte will be the easier option from what I've read.
I've read that the standard 5SFE manual tranny should handle it but I did see conflicting posts on this.

I'm planning on keeping it as a daily driver and just wanted something a bit quicker.

Has anyone in Sydney, Australia done this swap before and know a shop that has done the job before?

There's an ST205 half cut for sale at the moment but I won't have the cash for another few months, as I'm planning on installing coilovers and a few other things in the coming months before finding someone to do the swap.

Thanks

The BEAMS has less involved, but the 3S-GTE has more potential. Just have to decide on what level of performance that you want, and how much that you want to spend. The transmission will be ok at stock levels, just have to get a stronger clutch.
