Description of part or item: I just bought a JDM 3SGTE 225 H.P. I was going to put it in my 97 Celica, but i just started to go through a Divorce and I am going to give my EX my celica. Paid $1700.00 only asking for a $1000.00.This is a low mileage (30-40,000 miles)second generation Toyota 3SGTE 225 hp Turbo engine imported from Japan. It is a direct replacement for the 200hp USA 3SGTE that is fitted in the 89-93 Celica All-Trac and the 90-95 MR2. If used in a Celica, you must use the oil pan and pump from your Celica engine. Shipping is $85.00-$300.00.

what do you guys think is this a good deal if so i am gonna give this guy a call also what else would i need to complete the swap.

Buying and selling...

you dont have to use the oil pan from your own celica.
You paid 1700 for just the engine?

1000 is a reasonable price yes.

i would say that its not a good deal.

saying "u must used the 5s oil pan" to me sounds like "engine does not come with the oil pan". also, there is no harness, ecu, ingitor, coil, resistor pack.

"It is a direct replacement for the 200hp USA 3SGTE that is fitted in the 89-93 Celica All-Trac and the 90-95 MR2. " this dosnt tell you what year the engine was made....u could end up with an 89 motor. the 30-40k on the motor is just a wild guess, that engine could have 200,000 miles on it.

i got my whole front clip, hood, brakes, suspention, drive shaft, rear awd diff, axels, harness, ecu, etc,, etc etc.... from ebay for 1800$ (shipping was an extra 850). thats a lot of extra stuff you can sell off and make some of your money back....honestly...GET A CLIP!!!!
