Ok my girlfriend is driving me CRAZY!! She is getting a 6th Gen Celica GT 2.2L Automatic tranny. And heres the bottom line she wants me to do a 3s-GTE engine swap with an AUTO tranny. Im gonna kill her to tell you the truth I said with manual would be easier to swap but noooo she wants a Auto 3S-GTE configuration. So guys im not looking for a serious drag racing car here but can someone please tell me what to use?!?! I was looking into the 3rd gen 3S-GTE that was in the 94-99 Celica GT-Four and the 4th Gen 3S-GTE thats in the Toyota Caldina GT-Four and it comes with a Automatic. Guys tell me something here what way should I go without doing radical/expensive changes, I was also thinking of converting it to AWD but if that complicates things for get it. Please HELP!! frown.gif

i still say what theyre saying in turboing the 5sfe smile.gif you are askin for it doin a 4th gen 3sgte swap and then doing the awd conversion just to have a auto-3sgte. But if you turbo your 5sfe (2.2) you will make more torque but less HP than a 3s and be able to retain the auto all at once. Plus it will be more cost effectient and less of a headache.
