3sgte st185 engine with everything included= $1750 at most
3sge tranny= $300
Converting Auto to Manual= $200
FMIC= $250
Total= $2500

Price of smashing a Honda with a 3sgte celica pushing 12psi as if it was like boiling water??? Priceless.

That is the pricing that I have spent on my swap so far. Labor isn't that hard, its pretty basic. Only problem is wiring harness and you can do that yourself if you put the time in or pay qatar11 a couple hundred to do it for ya. Its not that expensive, nor will a turbo 5sfe be safe pushing as much psi as a 3sgte unless you redo the internals which eventually with labor will cost much more than the swap itself. And again, possibilities of a 3sgte is wonderful.

lol...well as far as the transmission and the swap thats not is for sure not an average price, I have never in my life heard of a tranny swap for 200...never, maybee you got a deal but the whole bundle there is around 1000$ easy.
