Celi-guys,
I'm new to the Celica world and to this website. Not to turbos though... I've been running DSMs since I had my license. It says in the 5sfe walkthrough that you use a 4th gen ST185 exhaust manifold to turbo the car. If thats the case, can you use a ST185 Alltrac turbo upgrade kit.... like Blitz? Meaning larger turbo and possible better flowing exhaust manifold. I just think that I'll spend about the same amount of money on purchasing NEW 4th-gen ST185 parts over the Blitz upgrade. So why not go that route. Please slap me if i'm being naive on the subject. Thanks.

Edit:I mean 5th gen ST185 - I had a blonde moment

I understand that the motor mounts are the same. So drop and go huh? Still questioning the tranny? and after the wiring harness is taken care of, do all the visual moniters work. Like the tach and speedo. And again... Its Qatar11 a 6gc.net member? I'm assuming so. BTW... To all you celiguys. I write like Mark Twain, just get used to it. lol. To add "plus 1" to the swap, my current engine just broke 100k. I'm really not to sure if it'll handle turbo. A nice 3SGTE would be great though. Then I'll wonder if the mustang gt's can hangle my turbo. lol. Also, (god i'm really bad on multiply questions), can anyone drop this engine in. I mean someone that has done them before. Or am I talking about a good mechanic? Thanks guys.

1. if you have a celica GT, then you can use that same tranny. If not, then you can use the mr2 turbo tranny.


2. Yes, you guage clusted will work. No Problem.

3. Qatar11 is a 6gc member. You can also find him on celica.net

4. The work isn't really that hard. I guess it just depends on how comfortable you feel doing it. If you think or know that you can take a part a motor, piece by piece, then put it all back together, then you can do it. If not, then i would consider taking it to a shop.
