Hi. I wanted to do engine swap on my st202 and I've tried to gather a lot information about it all around the internet and only got lots of inaccurate and uncertain information about it. The stuff doesn't seem to add up all the time. I try to be clear w my questions and there might be some mistakes. English isn't my native language afterall. I'm def gonna update here once I get started and anything mentionable done but it might take a long time because of work.

So anyways before I spend time and sleepless nights (and s***ton of money) for something that isn't doable afterall I'd like to know if 3sgte fits my enginebay.

If I understood correctly 3sgte should stright up fit to replace my 3sge? I was thinking about using the 4th gen engine except if I find full 3rd gen clip. Also I do need to do some mounting?
I also noticed people discussing about the tranny you should use. I was thinking about the s54 holding up but then I wondered if it would be safer to go for the modded E153. I've red and heard of some other choices too but can't get them on my mind rn... max hp I'm aiming at is somewhere around 260-300.

Also do oem driveshafts hold up on that hp because I kinda feel like those should be bit beefier, and is there any alternatives on that? (That's something I haven't managed to find yet) And does modded E153 for example need something else for that?

Oh and the shifter cables. They do have to be some specific ones like gt4 ones if I go for the E153? And does the clutch go as a mr2 one or do I take flywheel here and clutchdisc there?

And yes before ppl go yelling that it's f***ing unoptimal and waste of money to go for that swap etc. I'm avare of it but I really love my celly and I want to give new life on it and maybe even do the worst choise and burn my money, time and nerves making it rwd in the future. But prolly not gonna happen because of the chasis work. Also this would be some learning for me before I'm gonna go for some more expensive stuff like...supras? And yes I have "some" mechanic backup but they aren't familiar w this swap.
