was wondering if it was worth it to swap a 3rd gen 3sge to my celica because there a guy in my area selling his whole set everything i need to swap for 650$. I belive it has 177 hp and 142 tq and pulls all the way to redline which is at 7.2 smile.gif .

i done research on the engine and with mild mods mr2 guys are running high to mid 14's

i was planning on getting the engine and adding bolt ons plus maybe add a 65 of shot of nos

whould this be all worth it or should i save for a 3sgte?

no nitrous...go with the 3sgte from the get-go... it was built for a turbo and can handle more abuse... if u go from a 3sge and turbo it, you're just askin for more problems.... also what are you power goals?

ALSO: Wrong forum!! Mods fix this please

well i just wanna run low 14's and i whould be happy and if i get the 3sge i whouldnt turbo it just put bolt ons and run a 60 shot of nos. maybe 200 whp then i whould be happy

ok 1st off WRONG FORUM

ok now for helpful info

if he's selling you just a motor for 650$ then NO DON"T GET IT
if he's selling you just a motor NO DON"T GET IT

wat you want is to go and buy a clip they run about 2500$ at a good deal if you don't have a clip then don't do it cause a clip is what you need.....

and basically the 3sge is goin to be just as much work as a 3sgte because it is the exact same motor with the difference of a turbo.....

so in my opinion if you want to make a "drag" car then you want to get a 3sgte if you plan on getting to the 14s.......

hmm its a engine set it has everything i need tranny, ecu uncut wireharness, i plan on using the 5sfe tranny since it has shorter gearing

non turbo would be a bit better as a daily driver.. the turbo would be faster.

other than that, they'd be about the same.

and, the price doesnt sound too bad if it is all inclusive

You don't need a front clip to do the swap.

Save up and do a 3SGTE swap. You'll be happier in the long run, I doubt the engine is in good running condition if hes selling it for $650 (or maybe hes a nice guy confused.gif )

3SGTE > 3SGE
