First of all, I hope this is where a question like this goes. This is a whole new world compared to DSMtuners.com, so please bear with me, and move this thread wherever it belongs. That said:

I recently bought a 94 celica shell. I've read about some killer 'gt4' swaps out there, but after doing research decided all the extra fab work for the AWD system is not for me. On the other hand, I see that it is possible to do these cars in a FWD pattern that doesn't need nearly as much fab work. What all does this swap entail? What all will I need?

So far, I have a shell. I have an st205 3gste sourced and ready to ship to the states. That includes wiring harness, ecu, and tranny. from what Ive read I wont be needing the tranny, but one from a v6 camry? what else will I need? any help is good help.

Remember, I come from a DSM background.. so I'm not new to turbos or fixing cars in general.. just haven't been around a whole lot of 'yotas.

Thanks in advance guys.
Logan

The stickies are your friends laugh.gif (as soon you click on any topic (forced induction) they are at the top with links and stories, of every question you could think of. Take the time a read though them.)
The swap is fairly straight forward if you do your research
Id advise on a full clip, so your not missing any parts. Somtimes sourcing parts can be a pain.
Tweak'd does the harness conversions. Its like $700 from what i remmeber maybe more or less, but its a chunk of change (but works) Countless swaps have been done, read though the forum
