well since this is a new topic, i made a new thread.

like the title says. the swap is complete, seems to run like a bat outta hell. makes about 18 psi.

only problem, idle and cruising is lean off the chart on my wideband. when I roll into it, the A/F ratios are good and going into boost its good about 10.5

i have changed the fuel system to top feed RC injectors and removed the resistor pack. so the wiring is the same as a regular GT. base fuel pressure is is about 45psi and i have an aeromotive rising FPR.

does anyone else have this issue?

I'm considering this swap for myself down the line, but i'm just wanting to get your honest opinion on whether it is worth doing the 3SGTE Swap into a FWD Celica? like is torque steer a big issue or any problems with loss of traction due to the power?
any information regarding the swap would be great, I have everything handling wise and would need the GT4 Brakes but other than that how do you find yours?

personally, I like my V6 swap better. dont get me wrong the 3S-GTE is a fine engine and an easier swap. but for price, power and cool factor. V6 has my vote

Absolutly love my rev3 3sgte in my fwd celica. however, coming from the uk, would have made far more sense to buy a gt4 in the first place, and could have with what I spent in the end. Mine def torque steers, you have to be on it to drive it! Do use e56 gearbox with lsd, so prob makes that worse (though very good box to use).

Doing it again, would def just get a GT4, but as say, do love my fwd turbo, it's just a bit crazy to drive!

I don't notice much torque steer on mine. Maybe I'm not going fast enough. with my tires and a wet road I have to drive careful with not much boost as I spin the tires easy. I'm running stock GT brakes with slotted and drilled rotors and it seems good but I'm not driving to the limit so... a 3" exhaust all the way to my magnaflow muffler works good but is louder than stock. I put sound insulation in the back which helped. If you buy a swap from someone else you may have to deal with a thousand little problems if they were lazy or incompetent with the swap. I'm dealing with this.

i dont notice any difference in handling. I think the V6 is faster. the torque is immediate and always there. the 3rd gen doesnt come alive until after 4000 RPM.

if your 3rd gen dont "come alive till 4000 rpm" on the stock turbo, you have a problem. every 3rd gen swap ive seen makes full boost by 3200 at the latest. anything over stock boost makes more power everywhere other than idle to about 3000 rpm...
