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 swap itself isn't much more difficult yet you have 50 more ponies right away, with the capability to get more power any time you want it. Well worth it, in my opinion.
