right now i have a 94 toyota celica with a 2.2l 5sfe engine. would it be better to rebuild and put a new head on the 5sfe or to buy a 3sgte engine and do a complete engine swap. i have an auto. tranny right now and eventually i want to change that to manual so take that into consideration also. the main thing i want is to turbo my car and i know you can turbo a 5sfe but is it real spendy or nothin compared to a whole new engine. also can you put a 3sge head on a 5sfe engine to upgrade the engine. thanks for the help

I'm also having a similar question running through my head too. Cuz right now I'm running with the 7afe and I'm not sure if I should swap with the 5sfe or the 3sgte. And if I was to do the 3sgte what all would I need for the swap? Especially how it'll be running FWD. Guys help me out here!

Like said before, it is more worth it than the 5sfe in the long run. Just off the top of my head you will need the ECU and tranny for the 3sgte. A lot of people use v6 Camry trannys I believe. There are plenty of threads about it so just search for them and you will find all the info you need. The FWD isnt a problem for the 3sgte, plenty of people have swapped it into the FWD celicas and it works just fine. But once again just search and you find all you need to know about the 3sgte swap. There is even a sticky about it.
