3sgte swap questions

**xXPattonXx** · 08-04-2006, 05:06 PM

Well first I would like to say hi to everyone.

But the REAL reason I am posting this post is because I would like some info on a swap (3sgte if you haven't guessed)

Okay so first I would like to say sorry if any of these questions have been answered already, I did search and couldn't really find the info.

But, aside from all of that, I have a 90 Celica ST and will probably end up buying a 3sgte clip, but would I be able to use my stock 4afe tranny and maybe just upgrade the tranny and the clutch, then use the 3sgte flywheel? I know people say you can use the 5sfe clutch/tranny and the 3sgte flywheel, correct me if I'm wrong.

Also I don't think I will do the swap myself cuase I dont think I have enough knowledge/tools to do it myself, so I will probably have someone else do it for me, which leads me to my next question... Can you tell me of any good places that would do it for me? Where did you have yours done?

Okay I will stop bothering you for now, thanks for any information.

don't know where you would get it done, but I know that you will need either the 5sfe tranny(e53/e54) or a camry v6 or mr2 tranny(e153). Those are your three options using the 4afe tranny is not even an option

wiring will be hefty

So do you think it would just be better to just sell my ST and buy a GT or a GTS? The GTS tranny is still 5sfe isn't it?

**3sgte@daspeedof** · 08-05-2006, 03:44 PM

a competent shop should be able to wire it up properly, but expect to pay about 5 g's to do it properly

In my opinion yes, sell the ST and get a GT or a GT-S. It's simpler and both the GT and GT-S come with better brakes to help handle the extra power a little.
