ok, since you live in california, i better recommend you get a v6 swap. you wont pass smog. Having said that, if you are desperate for a beams...
1. cheaper is not always better 2. Local is not always better. 1st most important things to look for: functional vvti controller, b pipe, and maf and oem airbox... Im telling you sourcing these parts are a bitch. 2nd most important: an LSD tranny, and or the complete set of axles. U can use a non lsd with regular axles, but lsd with the beams axles are better. 3rd. not so important. but ok to have are goodies attached. these are the double piston brakes, and or cool manifold exhausts that are rare... anything else you see in the pic, that the seller is unaware... (lol) where? I got mine from ebay, but i bought after it was discussed it was going to be a complete engine. If they give the 30 day start up warranty, they cant honor if you cant start. meaning vvti controller, maf and airbox need to be in the swap. i looked for several weeks on ebay, and got one with free shipping. but why go to the hassle of all this for 200 hp, the beams is cool engine,but i feel the celica needs more.... I may put mine for sale in several months. Go for a V6, in california, that is the only legal way to go -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
