will a 3S-GTE fit in a KE20?
I am getting a KE20 and seeing as though its RWD i wanna get it sideways...therefore requiring alot more power.
Is a 5K a better option because it fits in the original moutns?
Is it a good engine...5K that is?

4AGE / 4AGZE would be better suited.

I sorta know a little bit of stuff!
With the clutch thing...I was going to change the gearbox too. I have heard that the SR20DET is an OK fit so I figured that the 3S would since it's a similar engine.
A 4AGZE will create enough power to drift something that light but I am curious how much would I need to work it to get say...150hp ATW?
Would a 4AGTE be better?

SR20 and 3SGTE are not at all comparable. 3SGTE never came in front engined RWD configuration, so you have to make fully custom mounts, work on a water outlet, and you have the problem that the engine was designed to sit on a slant of 15 degrees off vertical. This introduces issues in the form of poor oil draining. Some people keep the engine on a slant, others have tapped into the oil galleries on side of the head, and others have simply gone with a high volume sump.
Furthering the issues, bellhousing butchery is required.
A 4A is a good option. Many beleive that it lacks spice in NA form in the 1000kg first gen celica chassis, but in GZE trim, it has oodles of torque. Naturally, a well built GTE will outperform the GZE, but you lose some of the responsiveness and low end torque. Read up. There is tonnes of info on these forums. Have a perve in the members rides to see what people have done, and for a good account on the engineering required to put a 3SGTE into an RA28, have a look at Joel's thread. It is lower down this page as we speak.

Good luck.
