6G Celicas Forums

3sgte/Beams- Does these engines bolt right in our GT Celicas? Or do we have to custom the motor mounts and wiring stuff.
Which engine is easier when swapping. I am looking more towards the 3sgte engine, but I still want to know the differences.
Please let me know. Thanks.

hey, i take this one

do more research man

beam-170hp
3sgte 225-255hp ( gen 2-3)

Covered many many times. Search and look in the stickies at the top of each forum to answer all of your questions.


Else, post.

This crap about "you need to search" is retarded..Its gonna come to point that when people DO actually search all the threads they find have people just saying search and no actual information.


The 3sgte and 3sge will bolt up to the stock manual gt transmission(s54) and you can use the GT motor mounts. There is a thread in the Forced Induction sticky area where defgeph did a "how to".Link to 3sgte swap thread. Wiring of the 3rd gen 3sgte swap is fairly simple, _jim_ documented it in the FI section.The 3sge beams wiring is hard and would most likely need to be sent to tweak. The 3sge beams makes under 200 hp and its hard to get to make any more power, but the 3sgte comes with 250hp roughly and is easy and cheap to modify.

no its not retarded, its annoying to have to answer the question several times, especially if asked before, and by the same user....

I remember i had posted something about it.

he lives in cali, so its not legal

an mr2 beams is not bolt in

a celica beams is bolt in

a 3sgte can be bolt in depending


apples to oranges. cant compare.....

this forum really makes me appreciate when someone will nicely answer a bozo question with a helpful link, instead of a bunch of lurkers constantly posting "use the search" but vang, c'mon man.... 2 minutes cruising this sight and that question will be answered for you about 10 times. thats just lazy

SORRY MR. SMARTYPANTS BUT MY QUESTIONS WERE NEVER ANSWERED PROPERLY ON MY FIRST POST. IF YOU CAN STOP WASTING UR TIME REPLYING TO MY POST. AND YES YOU GUYS SAY TO USE THE SEARCH BUTTON, BUT WHEN I DO I CAN'T REALLY FIND ANYTHING ON HOW TO SWAP 3GSTE IN UR CAR. Y DON'T U POST A THREAD ON HOW TO SWAP IT IF YOUR SO SMART.

Lol you serious man? There are NUMEROUS threads depicting a member's journey and the problems they faced while swapping a 3SGTE in their Celica. If you aren't finding information, you're doing it wrong. There's years of information on this website.

Though its exponentially annoying to see repeated questions...I think the biggest problem is people don't understand how to use the search button(or I'm hoping it is):

Advanced Usage Help for Search button

Use Means
apple banana Find posts that contain at least one of these words
+apple +juice Find posts with both words
+apple -juice Find posts with 'apple' but not 'juice'
apple* Find posts with 'apple' and/or 'applesauce'
"Some Words" Find posts with the phrase 'some words of wisdom', 'some words' but not 'some noise words'

perhaps this will help more you more in the future...let us not forget Forum rule #2

Now convinced howie is a troll.


Don't feed the trolls.

I believe i have your problem..Its 3sgte...not 3gste..And i gave you the link to the HOW to, everything besides wiring is covered in that thread. I myself learned about the 3sgte swap by searching, and im sure 95celicaST did the same. We didn't start threads asking for people to do our work for us then bitch when it wasn't exactly what we wanted.
.****ing central Californians..
