Wiring harness has been sold

Oh then I guess I bought 3rd gen 3sge/gte can gears. Sry for the mix up

Its just a rubber hose right? I have a bunch of hoses sitting around the garage, i can look for it.

I bought them to go on the 3s, but ended up not using them cause i couldnt replace the vvti gear. The single 5s cam gear should be the same as the non vvti 3s cam gear no?

Yes they are red, i have two

TTT

Definitely will do

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Hey 6GC,

Like the title says, i have a complete running 5S motor pulled from my 96 Celica ST204. Reason it was pulled; did the 3S BEAMS swap. Engine is in perfect running condition, no knocking or pinging of any kind, no pop outs or grinds from the transmission; everything is included with sale of engine. Local Pick up In SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (Pasadena) Asking $750 for everything, engine has roughly 140K, yes all fluids have been drained. Shoot me an offer

Heres a link to the craigs ad WITH PICTURES:

I have separated the Engine from the trans, so i will sell together or individually. I WILL PART OUT, EXCEPT the engine (must purchase the motor as a whole unit). Id rather not part a good running engine.

Up for sale:

5S-FE Engine ~140K
5spd MT w/clutch flywheel pressure plate
MT ECU
Stock Intake
Stock B pipe
Stock Exhaust Manifold
OEM USDM wiring harness - SOLD
AC
PS pump
Alternator

Pretty sure thats everything, just ask if something isnt listed
Everything was working perfectly before it was pulled.

Also if interested i have a few aftermarket parts for the 5S as well:

Header (forgot the brand) $40
Chrome Short Ram Intake with filter $25
Adjustable Cam Gears (Brand new RED) $65

and if you come and buy the engine, you can have w/e misc hoses and extra parts i bought and have not used; if you like of course, i dont think i have a need for any 5S parts.

My mistake lol, yes its a 4th gen '98 3S-GE

Thank you for that correction

BEAMS gaskets still available??

PM'd as well

Will a black top Beams gasket kit work just the same??

Thanks for all the help guys! Appreciate it

Are you suggesting i hunt around on the classifieds and see if anyone has a spare BEAMS crank for sale?

Could you please point me in the right direction as to where to get the gasket kit?

Thanks!

Hey 6gc,

So after months of working on my BEAMS swap i finally got it running only to find out that it has a REALLY bad knock . Quite the spirit breaker you might say... So now i am looking for a replacement crank and possibly rods for the BEAMS redtop 3S-GE. Now i found a company that sells re-manufactured cranks, and they sell the crank for the 1st Gen 3S-GE or the 2nd Gen 3S-GTE. So the question is are there any differences in the cranks? or am i okay to use one of these as a replacement for the crank in my BEAMS 3rd Gen 3S-GE??

Here's the site im looking at: http://www.northernautoparts.com/ProductDe...?ProductId=3258

Thanks in advance!

These plugs are off the BEAMS harness and are now located on the passenger side down by the kick panel, can someone pls tell me what they connect to? The USDM harness did not have these

Heres the plug. I will trace the black wire and check for continuity and let you know what i find.

The engine came with a manual trans with LSD.





Heres the plug off my 3sge motor. Theres the black wire in pin 18. its black but no yellow stripe

New member here and after extensive reading on the forums for the past couple months It seems i still have a couple for questions on the 3sge Beams Red Top swap.

So, some background on the status here, have a 96 Celica GT which had a 5sfe, all stock. Back over summer bought a 98 3sge Beams Redtop approx 50k miles. We did all the major maintenance, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, belts, fluids etc. The motor is currently installed in the car. However the car does not start, as in the starter wont even turn. Dash lights up and everything but starter wont turn. My guess is its the clutch start wire.

The issue now is that we tried to follow the wiring directions posted on this website, BUT the issue lies with the 3 vertical plugs that are mentioned. The clutch start wire is supposed to be a black with yellow stripe coming from the one of these plugs right? In the pictures shown, there must be at least 15 or so wires coming from the white plug. But on my engine harness that same plug only has 4 or 5 wires coming from it and has no black with yellow striped wire. Matter of fact, there is NO black with yellow striped wire on this harness. Thats my first issue.

Now since that was the case, there was still a solid black wire coming from the pin 18 location on the white plug as shown in the picture, so we moved that wire to the pin 17 location on the dark grey plug as described in the directions. (obviously that did not fix the issue) Not even sure if that is the issue.

This was the only part that did not match the directions, all the wiring directions were spot on, and we took care of those, its just the clutch start wire and plug that was different.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

I can post pics up if need be

Thanks

Hey 6gc, ive messaged a couple of you and no response, i know this is an old post but im in the process of doing my BEAMS swap and need some help from you vets
