Does anyone have any ideas what the fastest engine I can find to put into my 95 GT? Looking to build it (turbo, pistons.....etc) then drop it in. Any thoughts or ideas?


Thanks
Jason

you can put almose any eninge in any car.. so the answer just depends what you want and how much work time and money your will to put into it. you can do anything from a 5sfte to a Ford V8 into a celi.. just read up and i mean really read up.. and don't belive or disbelive everything you read..

just note that things such as converting to RWD/AWD is very difficult, very expensive and also makes your car not street legal anymore... >wink.gif> also before asking if you can do a 2jz swap, check the pinned thread in the performance forum.

You know research is what this man is doing. I don't know much about engines but when I have a question I ask people on this site to point me in the right direction. Research is what this site is for.

The 3S-GTE option is the easiest i believe. Your car will find it difficult to handle the power of the 3S-GTE so you do not need to look any further.(You see the engine is built to race an awd car with 600-700 pounds of more weight)
the 3S-GTE is a drop-in and i know plenty of people who have done it in my country. BUT, research a lot before you make your move. Don't be an idiot like me. I bought a spare 3S-GTE engine from Japan to put in my lift back only to find out that the engine did not include the GT4 computer and did not came with the Turbo and the Intercooler. So the engine lies there in my basement and I bought a JDM GT4 from Japan.

If only i knew then what i know now after being a member of this forum for 6 months. I would save thousands of $$$$.

Unless your rich and don't care about money and you want to do something really stupid, then the 3sgte is by far the fastest, and by far the most feasible engine . Like the other 200 posts about the subject, it can easily be modified well over 500hp...thats one fast celica!
Skippy is a great nickname for you john >biggrin.gif>

and what makes you saying you did your own research even less believable...... the fact that you posted this topic in the wrong forum >wink.gif>

3sgte, ive seen the 3rd gen 3sgte taken to 800 hp, 2nd gen @ 700...

Mine is a 3rd gen @ 295 hp to the wheels, but after this summer it should be pushing 400+ to the wheels.

PS: stock the 2nd gen is 225hp and 3rd gen is 245-260hp. they bolt up to the gt celica tranny, but from what i seen they cant handle the power. best tranny to use is 3rd gen mr2 tranny off a 96-99 JDM mr2.

the 3stge and 5sfe are basically the same motor. one is a turbo 2.0L and the 5sfe is a 2.2L 4 banger. both engines use the same block. the main difference in them is probably the head. the 2.0l turbo has lower compression than the 2.2L head due to thickness on the face. the internals for both engines is pretty much also the same. you can literally take a head off of a 2.0L turbo and put it onto a 5sfe.
