3sgte conversion into a 85 st162 vs tx3 1.8T Mon, 11 April 2005 05:24 Go to next message
Hello all.

I am currently considering putting a 3sgte engine (front cut) into my 1985 st162 sx celica. I was wondering how much it would cost to do at a workshop?

Just inquiring first as I am still undecided on wether I should do this conversion or convert my 89 ford laser tx3 from 1.6 n/a to 1.8 turbo. 1.8 BPT front cut would cost around $2000 plus conversion money. They have 117kw and the car is around 1000kgs. They have weak gearboxes but I'd imagine a laser would be an excellent sleeper.

What's your opinion? turbo celica or turbo tx3?

ST162 with 3SGTE = 1200Kgs (max, closer to 1100) and 150Kw
Laser = 1000Kgs and 117Kw....

ST162 = 8Kg / Kw
Laser = 8.54Kg / Kw

I would imagine the celica would have more Torque aswell...

St162 would be a better sleeper, and its a Toyota.

Both would cost approximately the same in Workshop costs...
