Right now I have a 1995 Celica st 7afe automatic and I have been contemplating for months now weather I should do a 5sfe engine and transmission swap or just get a turbo for it. Any suggestions or estimated HP on eather 1??
Thanks |

First off, this was started in the wrong section.
Second, how much do you have to spend. Third, if you were to swap just get a 3sgte clip. Fourth, Where in NJ you from ? I'm in N.bergen DEF This post has been edited by defgeph: Oct 22, 2004 - 6:40 PM -------------------- ![]() I will return one day. |

You'll get more hp out of a turbo- but only after it spools. |

no that's not true. you'd need a MR-2 / V6 camry / solara transmission to mate with the 3sgte. for $5000 you'd have one bad assed 3sgte swap. |

or get a gt tranny. Do you have a garage ? I can help you do the swap.
I'm in the process of doing a 3sgte swap as well. you can have a 3s swap for less than 5k. Around 4k completed DEF -------------------- ![]() I will return one day. |

no, you do not need to convert it to all wheel drive. Just get a gt tranny,axles,axles brackets,shifter cables, and all four gt mounts. -------------------- ![]() I will return one day. |

moved to the correct section.
and no offense to you man but if you thought the car needed to be converted to awd its apparent you have a lot of research to do. you can have someone help you with it but you atleast need to know the basics. the search function is a good place to start ![]() |
