Does anyone know what all is involved in converting a 4th gen 3S-GE (American version rated at 135 HP, 125 ft/lb torque) to a 3S-GTE? I've gotten my hand on a 3S-GE out of a 1988 Celica GT-S that was rebuilt 90k miles ago and I want to convert it to a 3S-GTE. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch!

my bad i read it as 1998 GT-S
 personaly it would be more cost effective to get a Gen2 or more generous gen3 3s-gte than u spend the money to turbo the 1st gen 3s-ge and get maybe 200hp? where as a gen3 3s-gte will 250+ out of the box
