7A-FE out and 3S-GTE in - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #5322 3 posts Started by Jejjo
Hey U all , How easy or hard is it to put a 3s-gte engine in a 7a-fe car, do I have to rebuild the engine brackets.......or do I have to rebuild the whole car.
I know that I have to mount better breaks all around.........

What about the gearbox, can I use the 7a-fe box or do I have to change the gearbox as wll......If I have to use the 3s-gte gearbox I have to lock the axel outlet to the rear wheels...how????

I know I`m an amature... >smile.gif>
Check the engine swap sticky thread and do a few searches and you'll find the answers to your questions. >wink.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...
Maby I`ll check with the Toyota dealer here in Oslo as well.......they have a close partenrship to the Toyota rallydrivers here in Norway.........But what about the 5s-fe engine then, that shoulde`nt be that big problemo........My idea is that it`s better to use an engine that has about 170Hp original, which the european 5s-fe has, than mounting a turbo on a 7a-fe engine and get the same Hp with a weaker engine, which is 116 Hp original..............If U see what I meen....
