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!

You cannot "feel" a mid 14's you have to time it on a proper track. Do you have the transmission converion yourself?
Is there somewhere documented that gears are shorter on the USD S54? Finally you cannot rev a car to 8k with a piggyback. You need a complete ECU! |

[right][snapback]330439[/snapback][/right] The reason why I say I feel like I run mid-14's is because i've ran against cars doing mid-14's and i've either beat them or kept up with them. I've yet to find documentation showing the gear ratios of the 3S-GE S54, but there is documentation of the 5S-FE S54 gear ratios. But I know for a fact that the gears are different because I noticed the difference after I swapped the engine. Not only that but it's been verified over at MR2OC.com that the gears are different as well. |
