WTB: 5SFE SWAP PARTS Options

[Celicaguy13]

Hello fellow 6gcers. I'm planning to swap a 5s in my ST in the near future so obviously I need parts lol. What i'm looking are the following.

-5s engine harness/ECU (California M/T)
-5s engine mounts
-5s cradles
-5s map and any other sensors required.

I'm planning on rebuilding me a 5s I have here locally so I don't need the engine. As for transmission. I'm planning to either; A- Rebuild a 5s and install a taller 5th gear. B- Research if the 92-93 3vz-fe MT tranny will be a direct bolt on. or C- a E153.

If anyone has any tips, feel free to post them. Since there's no good write up on this, I'll make a detailed one. thanks!

The reason why theres not a write up for the 5s into the 7a is bc it's not worth the hassle, like you said the wire harness, mounts, sensors, tranny, and anything else is basically what you would have to do for a 3s, so thats why everyone goes that route, not to bash nor dishearten what you are doing at all bc i thought about doing the same but then realized the hp gains were not worth it over what it would cost. (i kno u have a 5s to rebuild already) Now a 4age should be considered...same mounts.....and if i'm at all incorrect or sounding like an A** let me know cuz i don't mean to be. Good luck on whatever you choose to do

P.S I don't have any spare parts

yeah. i believe they both are just about as quick, no different as i've ridden in ST and GT trims. GL though bro. just keep up the good work

I appreciate your input in this matter but High hp is not my goal. I've searched already and I found more information on why "not to do it" rather then actual information on how to do this. I'm actually aiming to build me a good auto cross motor with a hp goal of 140-150 whp which is easy to do with a 5s. This swap CAN actually be done really cheap if you do your homework. Since i'm doing all of the work myself, I'm aiming to do it for less then $1000.

Plus I like to be different and I guess you can say it's my money to blow whether it's worth it or not. But that's the art of tunning. I do agree with all of you that say "3sgte is the way to go". But all I ask from my fellow celica friends is to give support on the different paths we take. Whether it's what you'd do or not. So believe me when I say I know what i'm getting myself into. I wouldn't say i'm an "expert" on the 5s but I know how to get good power out of it for my goals.

Sooo.... yeah with all due respect, i'd like to keep this a "non-3sgte, 4age, 3sge etc" thread please.

plus the 5s would be a legal swap in cali where our laws are gay. have fun with the project.

[Celicaguy13]

That's right. However us 94-95 celica owners are lucky enough to be able to swap in a 3sgte and make it Legal. Since it was offered in a 94-95 Mr2 Turbo FYI.
