What's the difference from the black top and the redtop? I found black top for 500. It's not the one for the altezza it looks like the redtop but it's black instead

im in LA area, so 6 hour drive from u, but im willing to set something up with u, drive out and help u out, i go out there occasionally once every 3-4 months.
we can set something up. i will look down here and see if theres any good beams down here. but usually there is a lot more up in sacrament, since its closer to Oregon.
and bonzai is correct, no 1 has barred any motors in 6gc yet.
the v6 swap is good for obd2 swappers, for obd1 swaps it is unnecessary, since jdm motors as long as u run a cat, they will pass smog, only problem would be is EGR, but most smog technicians check the EGR,u just have to know someone that does not care for visual inspection, and only cares for sniffer etc.

Cool sounds good. I will look around too.. how long does it take to do the swap? A weekend?

anything u do to the 6gc now a days is illegal. if u highly modify a 5sfe in california its illegal, if u lower ur car its illegal, if u even paint it a diff color and dont notify the dmv supposedly its illegal, i have a smog person here in ca, if u need a car taken care of let me know. they charge 200$ star smog. thats not bad, they dont even need ur paper work just the vin ad paypal the cash. anyways, go with the beams if ur planning to track it and daily it or street it a lot. if ur just going to street it go with the 3sgte gen 3, less reliable but fun. and then u always have the v6 swappers, honestly they arent bad at all, its different, its unique and reliable. just gonna be more of a b**ch to work on considering the rear 3 cylinders and intake plenum design/throttle body. timing belts on 3mz r cake tho not that bad. ive worked on tons of siennas and camrys and lexuses with the 3mz its a strong engine.
but anyways i have a plain gen 3 3sge not even turbo or vvt. non interference. they r easy swap, easier for parts than beams, and they make decent power, and they r totally cheap, i picked up my entire swap for 400$ with trans mounts and brackets exhaust manifold wiring harness. everything! even ecu. it was a diff tranny so i had to source axles on my own. but i couldve used my stock s54 and axles with the swap, i chose not to. i ended up selling it to smay.
anyways, if u need help i can help u if u come around my area, its no problem with me. theres a couple
of jdm shops around, every jdm
shop
here in california is 100% janky.... and shady, i can help u perform
tests and inspect it, b4 purchase so u wont suffer. im a general service toyota tech. so, i annoy the j
shop sellers to let me
visually look at everything b4 i buy anything. anyways good luck, they r all good choices.

That's some good stuff there! But to b honest I just want something to keep up with my Honda friends. Tired of getting left in a dust ( if u know what I mean) so I was thinking about the beams. But where r u located and how far r u from the Sacramento area?

be aware, you live in CA and a BEAMS swap is ILLEGAL!!!!!!!


no its not. it is not legal. It would be illegal if it crossed the river. laugh.gif



yes it is. the BEAMS did not come in any USDM celica and it is not ODB compliant. It will NOT pass smog. It will not pass inspection.

Same thing with the 3sgte swap right? Since it is a Japan motor and the last of the the USDM 3sgte motor was from the altrac and the mr2. Mines a 99 by the way.

That's what I have. So they r the same trans then right? Cool thanks! Any tip on internal upgrades?

Yes, same transmission. The gear ratios are slightly different, but not enough to notice. Some of the BEAMS S54's have a helical LSD, but not all of them. Since you already have an S54, you have the option of getting a BEAMS with no transmission or one with an auto trans to save some money, although you'll still need a new clutch. You'll also need to pick up a new flywheel if you get a BEAMS with an auto trans.

Upgrades for the BEAMS are virtually nil. Celica_RA45 on the BEAMS Owners Group has some VERY nice upgrades for the BEAMS, but each one costs just about as much as the whole engine does. frown.gif


what's the site to that?

I've been thinking about doing a beams 3sge swap. But I don't want to get the front clip, what do I need besides the engine, trans, harness and ecu? Or I'm I better off with the front clip? I've read the stickies and can't find anything on it only some helpful ones on the gt4s but I wonna go na. There's probably a thread in here about this but I can't find it. Any info is much appreciated thanks

My car started choking out of nowhere at first it wasn't too bad but it gets worst as I kept driving it. The cel turns on whenever it chokes (flashes as the car chokes then goes off as the car drives normal again). So one day I decided to plug in my code reader and drive with it to see if I can catch any codes but the car drives perfect with the code reader plugged in. And recently my headlights just died.. but high beams work so I switched the two and my low beams r back on . Idk if they are related to one problem. Any suggestions? I already changed spark plug, spark plug wires, cap and rotor. Thanks

i got a H1 harness but it only have one black wire. is that the wrong one? where can i get the correct one? looked everywhere and thats all i can find. i saw a H3 but it has 3 black wires, i figured it be the same as the as the one i got.


I'm assuming this is for the projectors. It'll be easiest for you to just do a HiD conversion. Use a 9006 ballast and a H1 HiD bulb. It'll all be plug and play.


is it gonna b for my celica? or do i need to h1 conversion? i am not an expert at these lighting stuff

might be clogged,mine was really bad in my ae86.i think you can check buy renting a vacuum gun at autozone,shoot some air on the top of the egr and if the idel doesnt change its clogged.have you tried resetting your code or unplugging your battery terminals to reset the code?

i cleaned the egr, still havent reset the code. and i did try shooting some air in it with a pump but nothing happened... i am guessing i need a new egr. can the egr b dead or bad besides being clogged?
