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 am probably the most qualified person to answer this as i have a 3S-GE Curren AND a 1998 GT4. What ever anyone may say to you, there is absolutely no comparison between a 3S-GE and the GT4. Swapping a GT4 engine would be a great difference.
And it may say in the book that the 3S-GE is 177 but it does not feel more than 150 on the road. I got killed too many times in my curren to say this. I recommend you swap the GT4 engine and not Turboing your current engine, if the price is more or less the same. |
