3rd gen 3sgte swap. NEW PICS! (last page) Options

[celiracer]

Hey everyone.. The time has finally came.. I've had my car for 6 years now.. And have came a long way.. From making my car stock to looking like a beast.. Now finally i'm swapping a 3rd gen 3s into her and completing the beast.. March 13 was my start date.. Took my hood and front bumper off and drove it down to my dads shop. Here are some pics


Pic after removing hood and bumper.


Starting to pull the motor at the shop.


After 3 hours we finally got the engine pulled from the car..

My very first DR TWEAK pose lol

The next day my 3rd gen 3sgte came in with the e153 trany (limited slip)


Couple pics of the engine..

Next thing was taking the awd trany off and getting the engine on a stand.




\
Few pics of engine on the stand.

Next we took the intake manifold and throttle body off to get my wiring harness off

Can see the harness laying on the ground lol.

Then we started to take the timing cover off. Did our marking, and started taking cam gears off, valve cover off, Heat shields, and took my oil pans off. Here are pics of us doing them things.





After we did that.. We put the new oil pump on. And the new Water pump. And re-sealed both the oil pans..
Here are a couple pics of that getting done


This pic is with new idler pulley and tensioner pulley, new water pump oil pump. And replaced cam seals. Put cams on And ready for timing belt.. as of now what we have done..

New cam seals, new oil pump, new water pump, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, new timing belt.. And the timing all put back together. And re sealed both oil pans.. This last sunday. I got my valve cover back, put that on. Here is a pic of how the engine sits right now.

Also this last weekend we finally starting prepping and sanding my engine bay.. Here are some pics of that getting done.






Here is a pic after scuffing and masking everything off.

And yet another Tweak pose


Pic of me starting to paint the bay



And the finished product of the bay being transformed to black




Well thats all i have for now guys.. The wiring harness is at Tweaks getting extended..

I also have all sorts of parts sitting in my room waiting to get put on. and didn't take pics of it yet.

Parts I have.

walbro 255 fuel pump
ACT 6 puc sprung hub clutch
thermostat
spark plug wires
dist cap & rotor
outer axles for e153 trany

[brenton1919]

NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A CELICA! gud work cant wait till its done

Reason for edit: no need to quote all those pictures right after he posted them

[Stambo]

I think there have been more 3s swaps in the past year then i've seen on the forums the entire time i've been here.

I think its from everyone working together and sharing information when others ask, and the how to section.

Anyways, the swap is coming along really quick!

[Batman722]

congrats man, lookin good so far.

[injection]

Dude! That's a well mainained st205, it went to a good home, nice job man

[presure2]

lookin good mang!

[celiracer]

thanks guys. everythings been going good so far.. i.d like to thank manny for the toyota part numbers.. and jim for the engine and trany.. and everything else they have done. i get more and more excited each day. can't wait to get it done.. well heading down to dads shop tonight when i get off work. and working on engine.. will always keep everyone updated with pics.

[96stgreendemon]

Wow making good progress, i hope to join the 3s crowd soon lol

[celiracer]

LOL ya ^ I've always said i can't wait to join the 3s crew.. And finally after 6 years of owning the car i'm finally getting to swap this beast into the celi.. Can't wait to get it finished.. And from what i know of i'm going to be one of the first Nebraska members doing the swap.. Hopefully get some more work done on the engine tonight..

[Smaay]

looking good, excellent pictures. keep them coming.

[celiracer]

Alright guys more pics like you asked for.. Yesterday went down to the shop and started on the turbo and exhaust side of the engine.. Here are few pics.

This pic is after we got the exhaust manifold and the turbo taken off..



Here is a pic of us replacing the water line seals and starting to take the oil cooler and adapter off.



Here is a pic of the oil cooler and adapter back on with new seals, and the new hoses from hell replaced also.



Here is a pic of the exhaust manifold and the turbo. We replaced every gasket and seal on that before put it back on.



Lastly here is a pic of the manifold and turbo back on car after replacing all seals and hoses. And i cleaned up the block and turbo a little bit more





Hope you guys enjoy.. Will have more updates as they come..

[presure2]

Makin nice progress man, keep it up!

[celiracer]

thanks man. been going pretty well so far.. been a fun adventure so far. hopefully have more pics this weekend..

[Soulend]

Lookin Good yo. Can't wait for the final product!

[al94st]

Lookin Good yo. Can't wait for the final product!

X2

[presure2]

the only thing i noticed, was the worm clamp on the HFHOE (the hose off the oil cooler to the block)

that area gets quite hot, i'd be worried about the clamp cutting into the soft rubber over time and creating a leak.

couldnt see it last night from my ipod.

looking great tho man, your making great progress!

[96stgreendemon]

Just curious why you didnt spin your turbo housing to make it easier to run the intercooler?

[celiracer]

thanks manny. about the clamps i'll have to let my dad know about that.. only reason there on there is because my dad hates the metal clamps. every car he works on that has those and has to replace them he puts the screw clamps on. so will let him know. may change that back if going to create problems. and about turbo i'm leaving it there because i've purchased intercooler and piping already done for the set up.

[presure2]

Just curious why you didnt spin your turbo housing to make it easier to run the intercooler?

because its not that easy.
you can just spin the compressor housing, without creating a place to mount the wastegate, so that it works properly.
you'd be suprized how much that little rod will flex a peice of metal.

besides, clocking the turbo down really dont save much as far as piping (its litterally one less bend)
for a stock turbo setup, the trouble to do it really isnt worth the hassle and potential issues.
now, once you go to another turbo with an external gate, the game changes.


celiracer, your dad must be old school..lol most old school guys i talk to hate them as well, but as long as they are in good working order, they are a better choice for those locations, for the exact reason i discribed above. the worm drive clamps will bite into the rubber, especially if you sinch them down tight.

[celiracer]

Ha Ha yea manny he is old school.. Been a mechanic for 35 years now lol. And just hates using those clamps.. Specially re-using the old ones. But we'll see what happens.

Now hopefully be working on engine some more today.. Got my intake manifold, heat shield and my water neck back from paint.... Came out amazing.. Hopefully have pictures up in the next day..

[celiracer]

well got alot more progress done with things.. will post pics tm for sure.. question. power steering pump. on the back side there is a two hosed vacuum plug going into it.. mine is broke. where hoses go into it. is this just dealer part?? can't seem to find it. lol. thanks in advance.

This post has been edited by celiracer: Apr 5, 2011 - 11:57 PM

[Batman722]

it's the same as the one on your 5s.

[celiracer]

well problem is my dad tossed the other pump off the 5s.. so i don't have other one.. lol but thanks man i found one. it's a power steering vacuum valve.. pricey little thing lol. but gotta get one. will have photos us when i get off work.

[celiracer]

Hey guys. I promised more pics tonight.. Here ya go..

Firstly got my old ugly exhaust all taken off


Then i got the e153 trany out and power washed her to get ready to start cleaning it up before paint


While i was waiting a re-painted a few of my lids and caps.


Saturday night.. My buddy stopped over and dropped off my heat shield, intake many, and water outlet here are pics of them.


Here is a pic of my engine bay with the caps and lids repainted..




Now Last night we went down to shop. and put my new power steering pulley and belt on.


Also put the Berk tech down pipe on and my water outlet


And lastly we got the alt set in place. (just temp) and got the heat shield put on.. here are a couple pics of that.



Hope you guys enjoy..

Went down to shop tonight.. Got the o'ring replaced in distributor and put my new cap and rotor, plugs, and plug wires in got some pics of that.. But will be posted tm... Let me know what you guys think so far.

[thatmr2]

beautiful build!

[celiracer]

Thanks man.. here are a few other pics.. Changed the o'ring in the distributor. and got my cap, rotor, and plugs in.. And also got my alt and tensioner put on..

[celicaST]

howd i miss this thread? this is awesome, if you come to colorado again, i want a ride! looks like swap is going smoothly, nice job

[celiracer]

ha ha thanks man. I got a new phone so i lost your number.. and if everything goes smooth were gonna be in colorado in july.. and yes you can have a ride lol. I told you i was gonna get it done soon lol.

[celiracer]

Well updates so far.. All i really have left to do till my wiring harness gets back. is to get my bracket for the down pipe put on.. and paint my E153 trany.. Hopefully get that done and have some new pics up this week.

[Ted95]

lookin good my dude, you must be pumped! your gettin close, keep it up

[celiracer]

thanks man.. yes very pumped. can't wait to get it finished.. as of right now pretty much got all i can do right now till i get my harness sent back.. hopefully get it in the next couple weeks.. then back to working on it hard again.

[celiracer]

new updates. will have a few pics to post tm. still waiting for harness to come in. but got i few smaller things done.

[celiracer]

Alright new pics as promised. First on i cleaned up the two heat shields i'm going to leave on the car.. came out pretty good..


Then got my trany in the air and prepped ready for paint


Also got some more smaller pieces that i needed to re-paint red/ and the mounts black



And here's the pic of the trany after paint.. I thought it came out pretty good..

[OOBE]

Looking good, my man. You are doing it the right way!

[whatthe]

Much love for this car!

[celiracer]

thanks guys.. i'm so excited to get this all done and running.. can't wait to get my harness back so i can get this beast dropped into my celi. i'm hoping middle of may my car will be up and running.. just depends when my parts get in.

[freddy121389]

lookin good matt, can't wait to see it done.

[celiracer]

thanks adam. I can't wait to be finished either. i'm ready to get this thing running. hopefully the rest of my stuff gets here soon. getting excited.

[Culpable04]

you should have waited until you converted the transmission to painted, other than that looks like top notch work, I'm sure the result will b nothing less than great.

[celiracer]

thanks culp.. now i feel like an idiot as i was never informed about having to convert the trany. now i've been doing search about it. I have shift cables the inner axles and the outer axles. but i'm pretty lost on the needing a diff linkage and moving it to the back side of trany.. any info is greatly appreciated..

[celiracer]

got the shift links figured out. to make sure i got everything i need for this conversion.. I got the cables the links the cable keepers. and the inner and outer axles hopefully that's everything i need so now i can start getting this conversion done and get everything put together..

[chacha]

go go GO...you're almost there, post pictures of the update and make people envy you.

[celiracer]

lol thanks chacha.. Just waiting on my wiring harness from Dr. Tweak.. I ordered my greddy type rz bov and my oil pressure gauge so i have a new sender. And my oil sandwhich. All i got left to buy is air filter, gear lube oil and filter and get my flywheel resurfaced. Getting excited..

[celiracer]

well new updates while i been waiting for my harness and my trany conversion parts. I went and re wired my oil press gauge and boost gauge.. and got my intercooler piping. just gotta re weld a new flange for the greddy rz bov. and my new sender and oil sandwhich came in. all i got left is a air filter. once harness comes in i will be getting that put back on with intake manifold. and have my fly wheel re surfaced and get my rear main real replaced then will get trany and new clutch put in and be ready to drop it in the car and start putting everything else back together.. hopefully get harness in next week or two. can't wait really getting excited and ready to have some 3s power.

[celiracer]

Well it's been a while since i've posted up my progress.. Haven't been really working on it much lately since i haven't had my harness back yet.. But good news is the harness will be here friday. But what i have got done since is got my greddy flange welded on my piping and sent it in to get powder coated that polish look. Got my stock gt cables out today and getting ready to install the st205 cables and got the internal portion of shift link put on. Gonna drill and tap the two holes tonight and get other part on so i can touch up paint in again. Hopefully once the cables get in friday we will be getting intake manifold and throttle body back on and get my fly wheel resurfaced and get the trany and clutch put on and hopefully have it dropped in the car in the next couple weeks. Will have more progess and pics soon!

[celiracer]

Well got engine dropped into car today.. Only problem is i have the pass side and the drivers side mount hooked up.. and the front stock 5s mount is to long to fit into rubber. and the back mount is off too so i still got some figuring out to do on those two mounts before i can finish hooking everything up.. and also with the e153 trany do i need spacers for my axles? Please let me know
any pics of the front and that back mount for the e153 swapped people? Let me know or post on here.
thanks

[Needles]

i have keep the same front mounth for my swap, as the same for tha passenger side,

here pic of the custom mouth of driver side on the tranny

and other custom mouth for the back of tranny
as u can see, its fit perfect


and yes u need spacer



This post has been edited by Needles: Jun 12, 2011 - 7:17 PM

[celiracer]

thanks ya i have the drivers mount.. it's bolted up. same wit the pass side. it's bolted. and i've heard some people need spacers and some people don't.. but if i do does anyone know where i can get some spacers? thanks in advanced. I gotta change my rear mount and hopefully it'll bring the front in.

[Stambo]

looks good keep up the good work

[celiracer]

thanks guys. wish i could find a picture of the mount and the bracket that is needed for the back of trany by fire wall. can't find one anywhere.

[brenton1919]

thanks guys. wish i could find a picture of the mount and the bracket that is needed for the back of trany by fire wall. can't find one anywhere.

call dr tweak.. he makes those

[Batman722]

you need the st205 rear mount and bracket, along with the driver's side mount and bracket, then everything just mounts up 100%.

[celiracer]

thanks guys i've gotten it figured out. got rear mount ordered. now question. does anyone know how to eliminate that charcoal can on the drivers side?.

[presure2]

thanks guys i've gotten it figured out. got rear mount ordered. now question. does anyone know how to eliminate that charcoal can on the drivers side?.

cap the hard line going to it, and drill a hole in your gas cap to vent the exess pressure.

[celiracer]

thanks pressure.. i'll be doing that soon lol. now another question for you. I bought intercooler piping from jim. now i've been messing a bit with the pipe coming off turbo. and he gave me a 45 degree coupler for it and i don't see how it takes a left one eighty an don't see a way it's going to clear oil dip stick and my o2 sensor? any ideas.

that piping is prolly the piping off my old 5sfte, so it prolly will need to be cut and rewelded to clear on the 3rd gen, i cant say for sure.

[celiracer]

well update for now. just waiting on my rear mount and bracket to come in. will be posting pics soon. got fuel pump installed. been getting vacuum lines hooked up and capping things off. gotta get mounts put on and axles. then just got wide band and intercooler all hooked us and she'll be ready to start.

[matts94celica]

Nice project. Good progress and your almost done. Keep up the great work. Any plans for dyno?

[celiracer]

thanks man. and ya i'll prob end up on the dyno once she's running good.

[matts94celica]

thanks man. and ya i'll prob end up on the dyno once she's running good.

Great. Post result once you do. I need to get my Celi dyno'd before and after my turbo mod.
Well good luck, and wish me luck in my build.

[celiracer]

well new update. got all my lines honked up. and drivers side axle installed. got pass side to do and been working on my ic piping. and get my wide band honked up. an she'll be ready to start.. hopefully soon..

[str8thugginit4ya]

well new update. got all my lines honked up. and drivers side axle installed. got pass side to do and been working on my ic piping. and get my wide band honked up. an she'll be ready to start.. hopefully soon..

Very great progress. I'm happy to see more Celica drivers completing their goals for their cars. Do you mind if I ask what type of wide band you are using? Didn't see it posted. If you did post, my apologies. I must have missed it.



-Ryan

[96stgreendemon]

well new update. got all my lines honked up. and drivers side axle installed. got pass side to do and been working on my ic piping. and get my wide band honked up. an she'll be ready to start.. hopefully soon..

I would say thats going to be a big win lol! and do you have any pics of the conversion of the transmission?

[celiracer]

thanks guys. i'm using the innovate for my wide band. and i i'll look. don't remember if i did or not. but the conversion is real simple. I couldn't believe it.. if ya need any help i can help ya out..

[96stgreendemon]

Cool sounds good! what did you do as far as the axles go on the e153 conversion goes

[celiracer]

my trany came with the stock mr2 inners so then just went to my work and bought 93 alltrac outers. and bolted them up. I got them on now an looks good.

[Needles]

my trany came with the stock mr2 inners so then just went to my work and bought 93 alltrac outers. and bolted them up. I got them on now an looks good.

dont forget the spacer, goes between ur tranny and the mr2 inner, also, need more grease cause of the space in and dont push too much on it when installing cause it will fall out in the inner when installing, and dont push it out too much too

oo, and you will need longer bolt too

This post has been edited by Needles: Jul 1, 2011 - 2:33 PM

[celiracer]

needle. from the research i've done not everyone needs spacers. just seems depends on the car. I don't have spacers on my set up. and everythings on and looks fine turned wheels all the way both ways and looks good.

[96stgreendemon]

What kind of carier bearing you using?

[celiracer]

um i believe it's the stock one off of the mr2 it came on my mr2 inners and my trany.

[celiracer]

Well as of now. everything on car is together and hooked up. Only thing i got left is the one pipe for intercooler and figure out my wide band. I had it all wired up. and the gauge was working. But i couldn't get the little led light and push button to work. So i'm still trying to figure that out.. I'm hoping i'll be able to get it done. I'm ready to go out and drive this beast lol.

[JuMPiiN]

Which WideBand are you using ? On my Innovative the LED's on the top rarely work for some reason.

[celiracer]

I'm using the innovate lc1 wide band.. The calibration led isn't working.. Pretty much figuring out that the controller module has to be bad..


GOOD NEWS!! I got the intercooler piping all hooked up last night and got the car started. Well it started and runs. But it's running really rich.. Burning way to much fuel. checked fuel pressure regulator and the fuel pressure. That checked out fine. I can't get it to idle when i let off the gas it just die's. my dad and i have been trying to figure out what it could possibly be. And help would be great. Thanks guys..

wiring error. check manny's 3sgte how to build. I came across that same problem 2 years ago

[Batman722]

how did you do the wiring, did you use the fuel pump relay ?

also, Stef has that wideband, nightmare.

[celiracer]

fuel pump relay?. hmm is that something i missed? do i have to do someting rather then just wire the fuel pump in? lol. and ya that wide band is a night mare. hopefully be getting a new one soon

[96stgreendemon]

At what idle do you have to keep it from stallng? Have you adjusted the idle control screw?

[celiracer]

Where is the idle screw at? we were wondering if this engine had one. And i can keep foot on gas a little under 1k rpm. and it'll sit there but the rpm will jump a bit. And whats this fuel pump relay thing batman is talking about? i just wired my fuel pump in. didn't know i had something to wire in with it? it sounds good. and misses sometimes. But i'd like to get it to start and idle before we get to working on the other things. I just wish i knew what was wrong. blah..

[Batman722]

how did you wire the fp in ?

[celiracer]

PM'd ya batman. I'm starting to fun out of ideas. other than injectors and or my ECU being bad. Hopefully i fiigure it out.

[Batman722]

they're not bad IMO.
If tweek did the wiring then IIRC he doesn't use the fp relay, the fp is wired to run at full power all times. Not a bad thing, but not the stock way.

Change the 02 sensor first.
You can use the st185 02 and splice the plug to the 205 one.

post some pics of the engine in the bay. I want to see if you have everything hooked up right (vac lines, ect), it could just be something simple.

[celiracer]

Alright. I will take pics of bay and get them up hopefully today.. I order'd a sensor for a 93 all track. But i have to splice it in? And would the 02 sensor really make my car not idle and run rich? I'll have em up shortly

[Batman722]

are you using an 02 now ?

A bad 02 would make it run very rich, it determines the a/f ratio.

[celiracer]

ya i'm using the o2 it came with. so i guess that could very well be possibly it.. so the 5th gen altrac one i splice the plug off mine into it?

[JuMPiiN]

ya i'm using the o2 it came with. so i guess that could very well be possibly it.. so the 5th gen altrac one i splice the plug off mine into it?

On my car I had to switch to my own stock 02 over the Innovative one that came with it. Also I thought that your stock 02 for the computer should be in the normal spot and you weld in a bung for the Innovative. I ended up doing that. got rid of the one it came with bought a stock one, then bought another stock one for the factory location.

The Innovative is nice and accurate but it really is a PITA

This post has been edited by JuMPiiN: Jul 10, 2011 - 5:40 PM

[celiracer]

lol ya. it's not the o2 from the wide band that's bad. it's the actual controller that's bad. I can't even calibrate it. but yes i'm running stock 02 from engine. pretty much only thing i didn't replace besides all the sensors. but hopefully that will be the problem. i'm just wanting to know if the 5th gen altrac one works. and if i have to splice in the wires? cause if so i'll be doing that tm.

[Batman722]

yes.

We have no idle adjustment screw.

change the 02 and clean out the IAC.

[celiracer]

So rechecked fuel pressure and my fuel pressure with the +b and the other bridged and key on.. it reads 42lbs and then when i start the car and keep gas pedal around 800rpms it puts pressure to like 50lbs... My dads wanting to re wire the stock fuel pump in to see if changes anything. But i think thats a bad idea? and would hurt the engine? any info on that?

[Culpable04]

as said before, pump does not regulate fuel pressure, fuel pressure REGULATOR does that, so if fuel pressure is higher than stock, look at the regulator, not the pump.

[celiracer]

Yes i've gotten the regulator out.. Problem is. is trying to find a new one.. lithia toyota don't carry them.

[celiracer]

Got regulator out. When took it out we found some problems with it. So i'm looking for a aftermarket regulator. or someone selling a stock one for the 3rd gen 3s. lol

[brenton1919]

Got regulator out. When took it out we found some problems with it. So i'm looking for a aftermarket regulator. or someone selling a stock one for the 3rd gen 3s. lol

call dr tweak he will get u one. and u can always find one on ebay just go to ebay uk

[presure2]

Got regulator out. When took it out we found some problems with it. So i'm looking for a aftermarket regulator. or someone selling a stock one for the 3rd gen 3s. lol

I have one. I'll pm you.

[DG_Performance]

Are u not getting a check engine light? Did u bother to check for any codes?

[celiracer]

DG. No check engine light was on.. and no codes were going off.. When we unplugged the IAC the check engine light came on. But then shut off when we plugged it back in. So we know the light works lol.. But we figured it out.. when we took regulator out it had fuel coming out of the vacuum port. So thats my rich/idle problem. and also had the iac line capped off so that will prob fix my idle problem also lol.. Hopefully get my part today or tm and get her running lol.

[celiracer]

Fuel pressure regulator came in today.. Got it put on and put a filter on my IAC line.. Started her up. And she'll idle finally lol.. Idle is at 200 RPMs tho. And at that RPM i'm at 38 or 39lbs of fuel pressure.. That seem right? or still to high? My cars still smoking garage out in couple min. And seems to still smell gassy.. So wondering if there is somthing else screwed up. or if it's about right if we adjust the idle.. thanks in advanced

[celiracer]

Well got idle up to about 1k. But while its running it'll run fine at that idle then it'll idle down by itself (while still warmed up) And start blowing smoke. And miss a few times. (with brand new plugs only had car running for twenty min with them) then it'll go back up to 1k rpms and clean itself back out.. and few min later it'll go back down to 8 or 9 hundred rpm start blowing smoke and missing. Then go back to clean 1k idle. does it all the time. Turned motor off. checked plug and there all pitch black already from only running twenty min.. So i'm thinking o2 sensor or a coolant temp sensor is bad or somthing making it do that.. any ideas? thanks getting happy that it atleast idle's now lol.

And after it ran for that twenty min to a half hour the check engine light came on. So gonna prob hook it up to diognostics tm. And check that out.. Maybe will tell me my problem that i have now lol.. We'll see. getting pumped and ready to role this out onto the streets tho lol.

Also i found out. when i rev engine to about 4k and try to go farther. it stops at 4k and goes to like 2500 and starts burning rich again and rpm wont go higher then 4k. I know it seems like i'm having a crap ton of problems with this swap.. wish there was someone around my neck of the woods with this swap to help me out lol.. But it's just me around here lol.

[DG_Performance]

So u are using the old oxygen sensor that came with the swap? If so... Buy a new one on partsgeek for 95 mr2 turbo for like 53 bucks.

This post has been edited by DG_Performance: Jul 18, 2011 - 9:55 PM

[Needles]

its not the oxigen sensor, i had no one on my car for one run and it doesnt do that bad,
the normal rpm is 700, your engine try to get to normal rpm after warm up, i have seen other treahd that ppl cant go more than 4k but i dont know much about it, check the old threat, you should find anwser
GL,
