I love this thing. Spinning the tires going into second at will is so much fun.
Here is my whole setup since I see people have questions.
1988 Celica GTS 5 speed manual transmission
90-93 TWM celica Shortshifter
Clutchmasters lightweight Flywheel(took forever to get though cuz nobody ever gets them and they had to make it from scratch)
ACT clutch (whatever there first upgraded stage is)
That is everything(all the special parts at least) that was just put on the car with a couple asthetic enhancements such TRD shift knob, New pedals, and Leather Shift boot.
I am using the stock 3sfe (well a jdm one I got since I blew my original one) and I am building that up. I have K & N panel filter, Unorthodox lightweight racing pulley, 2.25 custom from manifold back with no cat. Wires, plugs, etc. Car has lots of other stuff done to it but too that is all as far the "GO" portion is concerned.
I ordered a d@mn genie header almost two months ago but it still has not gotten here. After I get that I will hook up my SAFC and dyno this sucka and also go run it at the track. I wanna see what power is like before I add Harmers head work and cams.
I didn't do the swap myself but it was actualy pretty straightforward and easy. Took the shop maybe 3 days. Didn't run into any problems except having to wait for the flywheel. With labor I paid about 2300 but I bought a lot of unnecessary stuff. You can do the swap easily for 1500 and if you are mechanically inclined, you can do it for under 1000.
It's kinda funny because I didn't really know how to drive stick before this but I learned quickly. It's actually harder than normal because the revs rise and fall so quickly and the ACT clutch has a stiff feel. I stalled the car 4 times in a row before I could even move out my parking space. Stalling repeatedly in front of a row of cars when a light turns green is no fun either
