Yeah so I'm just throwing thoughts around. I'm a big fan of the Rotary engine, so I assume that with lots of work it could be done. The question is any idea of how much, a shot in the dark would be appreciated. This is all because after wanting to sell my celica for a while but then recently I started putting small amounts of money into it at a time. It got me interested in the car again. So yeah get back to me if you will thanks. I will most probaby just cave in and go for the 3sgte swap.

I have no problem with the 3sgte. Excellent engine, great power and tiny. I was just thinking outloud, yeah I still need to save up some money to buy a front clip then I can really start messing around with car seeing as the 5sfe is a boring engine. Yes of course things can be done to it so that it can gain more power but why spend that money there when one can swap in a more power friendly engine this being the 3sgte. One last thing to add, the rotary engines just sound sick as hell, yes problems may pop up but with care you shouldn't encounter anything as is with most cars. Not the 5sfe because that engine can take all the abuse you can give it. Shoot I've been off-roading with that car more times than I can count on both hands. Keeping those rpm's hig. My mother drove her camry (same engine) for two weeks with no oil . Toyota's simply amazing machines. by the way what other cheap engine swaps should I take into consideration?
