if you're going to get a 3sgte, dont waste your time and money on upgrading the 5sfe 
Whats good - 6G Celicas Forums
first off welcome to the forum, and i knew it was a honda kid by "whats good" lol dw i say it too. toyota parts can be tricky to find and get lol. its not like a honda where you can pick up anything anywhere and add power lol. if you wanna play you def have to pay in this world lol.
i am doing a 3sgte swap right now and its going in next month
my thread..

this so far with motor is costin my roughly 5500ishhh but a got a good deal on the motor.
you can alsoo do a 3sge Beams VVT-i motor which is basically equivalent to a GSR. 200bhp 2.0 all motor. that whole swap will prob cost you around 3k-ish maybe a lil more. how ever ppl tend to say they get sick of the power and want moreee!
now you may say well then just throw a turbo at it and turn it into a 3sgte. no not possible with out doin some major things. the compression on the motor is to high for boost and wont work unless you put 3sgte pistons and head, pointless. the motor is like a GSR with the difference that you cant boost it like ppl boost GSR even the GSR high compression. lol
curren tails are a lil pricey and lil tough to find if you dont kno where to look.
sideskirts, well you have a vert and regular OEM sides dont fit right up with out a lil customm work. theres a thread somewhere in here on it.
good luck with the car! and def look into that TRD wing!

st205 powered ss3 coupe
yea i'm still debating on which motor i want to go with the 5sfe i have now was put in in August so its still a little "new" but i think ill experiment with it and make the swap once i feel the need for more power lol
but its just funny how everyone is saying to make the swap like its an ominous sign lol
Welcome to the forum! Bigger rims could be good, mind you even the stock 15's offer as good grip (and look) with a 205 tyre as 17s would with a 225, unless you spent alot and got light weight 17's.
you always have the need for more power

My stocks are in great condition

lol you're right but the 5sfe has "potential"

5sfe has potential if YOU have LOTS of money to feed it, haha.
Swap has more potential though.

3rd gen 3sgte can reach over 1000hp if you build it right

There are a few. I will let some other members shed light on where they got their motors before I open my mouth, but I will say I looked at the site you linked awhile back when sourcing my motor and I thought they were a bit expensive?
Well I guess here's a couple:
Osaka
JDM Engine Depot
RPM Garage
Sunrise JDM Motors

Hey. Hey you. Honda kid.
Remember that search feature I told you about? It works, I promise. It won't bite if you click on it.
To answer your earlier questions, you probably won't be tracking a vert, so buy kyb gr2 shocks and a set of tein s-techs and be happy. Those, coupled with the ST sways (or just a rear sway) will have you handling great for street use.
A member here, Rusty, spent a lot of his own time compiling all the info you need into the stickies at the top of each forum. These - used in conjunction with the search feature (remember that search feature I spoke of earlier?), will give you all of the information you need.

yea for now
today i found out that i have a vacuum leak 
why'd u give up vtec? lol
did u have a b16 or b18 civic? i never heard of a vtec kid giving up the civic for a big slow celica lol...
good choice though, i'd never own a honda, rather any celica any day.
the celica starts as the underdog but has alot more potential once u get the 3s-gte in there

Never buy from tigerjapanese, I've witnessed them drop motors from fork lifts and just pick them back up and set them back on the racks. NEVER order ANYTHING FROM THEM. Unless you have a honda or something. If you want quality, order from the member on here named _ Jim_, if not him then Keith from RPMGarage. Keith has awesome clips and he send you pics through out the entire process. Jim sells everything you need to swap using the MR2 LSD Tranny, or keeping your s54, all the way to all parts needed to go AWD.

thanks fot the info ill keep that in mind
