Hello im a new member to this forum even though i browsed this forum alot, Ive had my 6th gen celica for about 4 years and its done me good..only thing is ... its a 97 Automatic St Liftback LE with over 200k and i was wondering what i should do... I was thinking of either,
1: Selling the Celi and get me a 95 acura legend coupe type II 6 speed 210-230hp or 2: Buy me a 3S-GE (Beams) Motor Complete and Swap it out on my Celica making it a whoppin 197 bhp Kinda Confused on this... other questions i have is...since i never swapped out or even attempt to touch the motor cause of NC emissions 1: Will swapping the engine leave my check engine light... meaning will i be missing a sensor or two going from a 7A-FE to a 3S-GE? 2: Will the motor be a drop in or will i need to get custom mounts and do some welding fabricating? 3: Will I need Different Mounts switching from auto to manual? sorry for all the noob questions...opinions please |

Don't do the 3S, its more modding than what it's worth. Since you have an ST, get the 4A-GE. The engines are cheap and easy to find and It'll bolt on to your tranny with your own motor mounts and it may not push quite what the 3S can, it's still a lot better than what you've got right now.
Not sure about emissions on the 4A but they put them in US cars so I can't imagine why they wouldn't pass. -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends."
"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

But the 4a would go into the ST easier than a 3s would. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

Are you saying that if you got a turbo mr2 engine from a scrapyard down the street and tried to put it in your car they wouldn't be emissions legal? -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom.
