Oh and forgot.. Yes it was the stock tranny. But theres a certain mix of parts from 5SFE and 3SGTE you need to do inside the tranny for it to work proprely. PM me if you need more info!

Here in Canada there's lots of "JDM engine/car". So I bought the engine with 60k miles for 1600$. The labor for swaping the engine was around 1500$ and the additionnal parts needed and upgrades was about 1500$ (exhaust line, intercooler, headers, downpipe, fuel pump, etc. etc..). All prices in CAD$ of course loooool :P If you need more info, PM me I'll be more than happy to help!

Hey joel I read all your comments and replies and the swap sounds great buddy. Just wanting to be sure, the whole thing costed you 5000 with the upgrade LSD trans or stock trans? What generation 3sgte? Thanks Joel.

regular 90-93 celicas do not go anywhere near this fast buddy. if they did, they'd be very popular being this fast stock..

Thanks! I used stock parts for the tranny, here's the good mixup that will work with the 5SFE tranny: Clutch Disk : 5SFE, Pressure Plate : 3S-GTE, Flywheel : 3S-GTE.

loving the ride . i have a 93 celica gts, would the flywheel frm the stock transmission work on a 3sgte motor and did you up grade your clutch?

First, 300HP on a FWD car kinda sucks. You wont have grip until 4th gear. Lighter wheels ALWAYS help! Tranny hold fine for the time I had it. Maybe if you go to the drag track everyday the tranny wont last long. But if you have a brain, it should hold fine. 5SFE exhaust works on the 3S, but I highly suggest you put a 3" exhaust + HEADERS 3" and DOWNPIPE 3" as well, it really helps exhaust flow. I used an eBay cheap no-name FMIC and it worked very well! Don't forget to buy a 255lph fuel pump!

how bad is that torque steer? I'll be putting a 3sgte into my 92 gts next summer myself, aiming for 250 whp at 15 psi.Does using lighter wheels help?Any problems with that tranny? According to my research, the s53 tranny only holds 280 whp until it breaks. Also, would you know if the 3sgte bolts onto the 5sfe exhaust, just wondering if i need to modify my monza.Last, which fmic do you use?

Yes I did. More than 1 year ago! I still miss it since I loved that car alooooot! But well.. im now driving an RX-7 Twin Turbo FD3S =) |
