The 5sfe motor is the factory motor found in the usdm celica GT.

Your motor the 7afe is the factory motor found in the usdm ST.

The 3s motor you are referring to is more then likely the 3sgte which is found in the usdm 5th gen celica all-trac and mr2 turbo.

The only motor that comes factory turbocharged is the 3sgte.

with 1200 saved up you can't do the 3sgte swap.

But you can get yourself a stock 7afe motor and call it a day. Not worth putting in a 5sfe into your celica, because the motor mounts won't line up without some modding and I think the wiring harness needs to be done.
