Yeah, it doesn't make much sense... You're still going to be slower than an actual GTS, plus you won't have any of the interrior goodies. AND it'll cost more than trading your car for the same year/mileage GTS. If you're going to engine-swap, go for something with a little more kick. Otherwise just trade for a friggin GTS.

The needles are controled by the ECU, if you swapped it to a different one, the gauge face would read the wrong thing...

The GTS engine in the 5 speed. Come on who are we really fooling here? Are own Celica brothers and sisters? What a waste. a GT and a turbo would be much better blown engine or not. Toyota had a reason to include the 6 speed for the GTS. I'm sure it's not cost. Maybe a transmission and engine swap would get me interested, but that would make it a GTS right? Or almost. Just seems a waste of time and money to me.
