3SGE Options

[White_GTS]

Anyone know how much horsepower is in the 3SGE 1990 model? Is it from a MR2. The only reason why I'm asking is becasue I have a good deal for it right now and I wanted to know what kind of engine it is. I assume it is a MR2 non turbo anyone can clearify this for me that would be great.

So which 3SGE model is better to get. Only reason why I don't want the 3SGTE is because it needs more work since it has a turbo and the transmission I think needs to be modified as well where as the 3SGE engine is easier and cheaper for labour and parts. Anyone has a 3SGE or 3SGTE engine in their Celica at this point?

I swapped my 5s-fe for a 3s-gte recently and you can use the stock transmission if you get a 2nd gen 3s-gte, no problem, but If you buy a 3s-gte, buy a clip with a tranny- I mean if you buy the whole clip you won't have to source as many parts and in the long run could end up costing you less money.

Also since the clip comes with a tranny(or atleast mine did) it would be worth it to swap that in soon.

However with the 3s-gte I would recommend new axles.

I just went custom.
