So i was looking for a motor and came across a front clip of 5th gen celica with 3sgte twin turbo and RHD.. Im thinkin bout buying and putting on mine.

What does everyone think?

3sgte is single turbo. do you have an st or a gt and what do you want to do just swap the motor or convert it to rhd.

right so thats is a lot of work. tons of fabrication which i assume you can't do yourself so thats a lot of money. you'll need new transmission because you won't be running an awd set up. theres a lot more you'll need to do i don't feel like listing right now. Your best bet is to sell your car and buy an all trac. the amount of work you'll put into that project will be like $20g's especially if you are not doing any of the work.

So is this motor fwd to? If i find a tranny?

My cuzin is a welder at big company here. I could ask him for help. The hard part will cutting my fram to match other clip

[garrisonboobs]

yes it can be fwd if you use the 5sfe trans. you'll be hacking up most of the car. go buy an all trac that way you get awd and the 3sgte engine and you'll save thousands of dollars.

Which is better in your opinion awd or fwd? I know with awd you get better starts in racing....
