is this a good price for a JDM toyota caldina front clip 3sgte? it has 10K-30K and i can pick it up in NJ i live in MD right now plus i have a friend who has a tow truck u guys think i can find one cheaper...anyone from MD done a swap yet????

The caldina 3s-gte is rumored to be a close to impossible swap. The wiring for the new toyotas is totally different. Its more of one highway transporting all the signals instead of 150 different little streets so getting the engine to comunicate with anything else on the car would be very hard, not to mention lengthing the harness would be pretty impossible...

Get a st185 3s or a st205 3s. You should be able to find a very good condition st205 clip for under 4k shipped.

oh shiit thanx man yea i was like 260HP ohhh man hey so they say i do the other swaps what is the maximum HP i can achive on my celica?

there was a beefed up 3s for sale that put out like 700hp... so you can get pretty high on a 3s...

those guys in paterson selling that engine are really overpriced with some of the stuff they have becareful if you deal with them....... I have chatted with them many times and I just dont get a good feeling dealing with them

imo
defgeph

Im from MD, an im working on the 3s-ge swap. Well right now im working on getting it shiped, but once im done with classes, May 15, an can put my car out of commision for a week or so, il be doing it.

also, in off topic, sign the pition

HP numbers for the 185 are around 225Hp and for the 205 is 251 HP

and isn't that a ST215...Caldina

oh shhit for real yo where u thinking of getting ur engine from and are u planning to take it to a mechanic in MD? if u are which one? where u live in MD?

let me guess your talking about that auto clip thats been on ebay forever

for real u mean its been on ebay for a while??? damn hey whats teh best place to buy ur clip besides ebay especially if i live in the east coast

also i got my celica at an auctoin for like 1,700 do u think it is wise to try to find a mr2 and buy the car for like 1-2K and then take the engine out of that??

its been there since i started looking into the 3s swap a little less than a year ago

hah damn guess its to hard to swap

Down Under (Australia that is) a 3s-gte 'inc gearbox' can be fitted for AU$3,000. An extra AU$2,000 will get a GT4 rear clip, giving a 4WD purpose built Turbo engine for $5,000. Or as you Americans say a Alltrack (GT4).
