I started a 3sgte swap into my 98 celica just a few days ago. Everything has been going well so far, engine is in on 3 mounts ( fourth is poly filled drying currently) The problem I'm currently having iis being massively overwhelmed by the wiring. The harness was still on the engine when I bought it. Between coolant lines, vacuum lines and connectors I don't know where to start. I spent all day scouring through other forums and posts and haven't find anything as helpful as I'd like. 6 hours today looking at my engine bay and maybe two connectors plugged in. Any help or advice would be much appreciated

from experience, wiring is easy if you take your time and read and understand.
if you know how to read a map, you can read electrical wiring. You have to understand what a relay does, and how to mate the two harnesses together. in my experience, what i did is I used microsoft paint, and created a massive wiring diagram, that i printed on several pages.  i combined the engine wiring into my celica wiring, and from there it was simple. it took me weeks to develop this wiring. Yes its for the 2Gr, no its not available. -------------------- 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...
