HELP on Engine swap! - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #22899 2 posts Started by duga10


i have a 94 gt with the 5sfe in it, and i am currently on the lookout for info regarding a swap to a 3sgte, i also have a few questions i would like answered!

1. i live in brisbane, australia (anybody know any shops that do the swaps or where i can actually get the engine?)?

2. my car is automatic (does it have to be changed to manual, and will the auto transmission cause problems for the installation or actual driving)?

3. the price range (in australian dollars or US dollars, so that i know what to avoid)?

4. does it matter that gt4's are AWD and my car is FWD?

5.besides the actual engine swap, what other things ARE REQUIRED get changed?

6.any other info i may i have gorgotten to ask for i would appreciate it if you would tell me!

thanx in advance
do a quick search. your questions have been covered a few times before.

if you have an automatic, you would be making a BIG mistake by not changing it to manual. the automatic tranny will make the engine swap not worth it because it will slow the car down a lot and over time might fail from the extra power of the motor.
