Hey guys.
As we all know the most common and favorable motor to swap in a celica is the 3sgte. And the perfect weight distribution for front -to -rear is 50/50. But how much heavier is the 3s compared to the 5sfe and 7afte. How is the balance of the celica affected after the swap? Is it going to be like a h22 swap crx? ( aka fat girl sitting on your hood?) |

While a 50/50 weight distribution front to rear is certainly an even distribution, it is generally regarded that the optimal weight distribution front to rear is more in the neighborhood of 46% front 54% rear. Obviously, this doesn't help much since we are talking about adding an additional 200lbs to the front of an already nose-heavy car... |
