Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

wait u used the original wiering harness for the 3sge and 3sgte ecu?
if so the sensor your talking about is tvis(i belive) and thats why your car is not properly running, all the butterflys are either closed and starving it or open and flooding it w air....im betting the ladde

you need the 3sgte wiering harness, with a 3ste ecu, nothing less, a 3sge ecu will work on a 3sgte w a tvis elimination plate but you wont have a knock sensor and you dcould dt like a bitch



FYI im looking for a 6th gen gt to swap a 3sgte into in the next few months...

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

is it cutting completely, or does it seem like its running out of fuel(starving)

ALOT of people with this swap have a problem of not being able to revv past 4000 rpm, most are fixed by replacing the wiereing harness (but imn sure iu dont want to do that ....was the wiering harness cut when you bought it or was it complete? look on the other forums of how they corrected it, i belive most have a bad harness, ill double check...hopefully thatas not the case

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

wait are you using the stock 5sfe fuel pump? that can only handle about 8 psi of boost, you need to change that, go on ebay and get a walbro 255lp supra pump, or find one over 150 lp

btw that thrid plug is a dash plug, if its not plugged in you wont have any readouts

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

Would a 2SGTE ST205 motor fit in a 2000 celica?

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

Well, i want to do a engine swap into my 2000 Celica GT-S. I have heard these motors dont go well with a turbo. Do you have any suggestions?

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

the 2zz is the best engine you can get with the 7th gen. as long as you run low boost youll be able to turbo it. even getting your block fully built prolly wont cost as much as a 3sgte swap and will be stronger than a stock 3sgte.

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

My 90 gts is getting an engine swap with the gt4 this week. Has anyone heard of a 'standalone' to replace the wiring harness of the engine. Supposively Im getting that, not sure, but it is suppose to minimize wires in bay area plus it has a boost control built into it. It cost about $1500. What do you guys know about it?

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

a standalone is an engine managment system like apexi power fc and such, it replaces your stock ecu

IMO you shouldnt have odne that. should have swapped it with the harnesses and stock ecu then replaceed the ecu after it got running

your most liekly going to run into some headachs because of this

Re: Read if ur wondering about the 3sgte swap

I just recently blew the head gasket on my '86 Celica GT (2SE stock engine) and I'm thinking that instead of fixing it I would rather swap in a 3S-GTE. The car has about 155,000 miles on it and my mechanic told me that head gasket is a weak point in this particular car's engine. Before I make any actual decisions, however, I have some questions about this particular swap. First, what should be done with the transmission if I get the swap? Would the original transmission (assuming a new clutch, etc) be able to be used and if that so would it be able to handle the new engine? Would a RHD wiring harness be usuable? Are there any things about this particular engine swap that would cause problems, and what are those problems?

I really appreciate any help I can get with this. Be warned however, that my knowledge of cars is somewhat basic (that's why I'll be getting this done instead of doing it myself for instance), so forgive me if I have to ask for clarification.

Thanks so much!

your mechanic is a tard. theres nothing wrong with the factory 2se headgasket
you should either get ahold of a 5sfe or mr2 3sgte transmission and use it. the mr2 (93+) is better than the 5sfe to use. if you used a 5sfe tranny you would need 5sfe disk 3sgte plate. te original tranny wouldnt b used.
yes you can use a RHD wiring harness. for$300 you can have your wiring harness done for you completely plug and play. PM me for details
depending on witch engine you get (and i would say get a clip) it can be pretty painstaking to not that bad
