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!

If you can afford GT4 - forget swaps / mods / whatsoever. I have driven GT4 recently and difference to GT in power / handling / acceleration is huge. I would get GT4 for myself but in my country (even though in EU) I would have to add 65% of excise tax to average Europan cost of GT4 - that makes it ridiculously expensive. Though, there was one available here a month ago (import from Italy) for 5k EUR!!! Good shape, just turbo needed repair / replacement. Someone bought it just before me.
