Okay so earlier i asked what would be better for me regarding my two celicas and i decided to switch my st into a gt. I have a gt and st, but i want the hatch (st) instead of my coupe (gt). I looked around on here for how-to's but i didnt find any. This is my first swap and its a temporary thing until i sell my coupe then i will buy a 3s and replace the 5 from the hatch. Can someone guide me on doing this swap? thanks!

Hey mister thats 20lbs you didnt have before!
Ok seriously, I say if your going to do it, do it one time. There seems to be little sense in swapping one engine, then taking it out only to put another one in later (be it weeks or months), to me thats time wasted. I think your best bet is to read up on the treads if people who put in the 3sgte into their ST's. See what all is involved. Then decide one what you want to do. But, going back to your original post, you want to take the engine out of your GT Coupe, and throw that into the ST Hatch, and then put the 7A into the coupe (then sell it?). Am I reading that correctly? Then you want top get the 3SGTE and plop that in the hatch (in place of the 5S you pulled from the coupe)? |
