This maybe sounds strange. Ive been here about 5 months and have seen lots of guys with engine swaps. Mainly because you US peeps do not have to same engines as we got.
I was thinking to myself, "Is it worth all the money and trouble to either upgrade my 3S-GE engine or do a Turbo swap (3rd gen 3S-GTE)" I already have 177 horses under the hood. So this question goes out to al of the swappers and turbo driven 7A/5S celica owners. Would you have considered doing a swap or upgrade if you had a 3S block in your car??? -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

I'd probably turbo it..
-------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
