    the 3sgte is so much to put in,the 4agze drops right in...all i would need is to wire it up..my celica weighs 2600-2700 pounds,didnt know that was alot....and since im pushing 105hp,170hp would be like driving a SLR Mclaren....i also want a automatic tranny(dont judge me,lol)and all i can find for 3sgte is 6speeds......also i was planning changing the 4agze from S/C to Turbo..

    but any input to help me is great,thanks.

    2700Lbs for a 1.6 liter is excessive, but not too out there. The motor was meant for AE92/AE101 Corollas which weigh in at a whopping 2300-2400lbs and are still slow stock. the earlier Largeport GZE in the MR2's fairs a bit better in a much lighter chassis, even only making 145hp. What motor do you have now? 5S? It would be 163hp and about ~135whp...so for all that money you're only gaining 30hp....the Tq would be the only thing i can see that you would benefit from...the GZE is a tq monster for how small it is, but a 1.2 liter positive displacement Supercharger will do that lol. I cant really judge you for wanting the motor and they are much easier to find in Auto and always being in boost tend not to lack the spunk the manuals have. The only thing about the auto tranny is that it isnt built to handle much power. So with the turbo swap you have planned you will be very limited on power vs. reliability. I say if you really wanna do it, then go for it. I always respect ppl for trying different things. Hell i drive a 1.3 turbo mini car lolol

    i have a the 1.8L 7afe,which makes 110hp,so going to a 1.6L would drop some weight too.

    and since my Celica ST has a A series motor it will drop right in,u can even use the celica tranny(but im not)...im not looking to have a monster drag car,just something that has some bite when u need it.
