I have the 3sgte 4th gen engine on the way and getting things ready to go! Looking for help and ways to get it going ! Right now I have done alot of research and talked to tons of people. I was wondering if I could get some help with my project . Right now I'm planning on running the engine stock I made sure it came with the 3sgte hanress and ecu and im getting a flywheel and clutch kit . Iv been looking around and doing research and I might attempt my wiring harness myself I have two harnesses and I might just try it . But I also need help from people that have experience with the swap and the 6gen community. Helping me find parts, and help me get it on the road with a wonder build ! I hope this goes well , would appreciate all the help I can get !

The harness will not be a small task. I personally feel that it is money well spent to have Wiregap make the harness, as it allows you to focus more on the engine and know your harness will be 100% plug and play and be well made. However, if you are so inclined, please take as many pictures and write as many notes as possible and let us know how it goes! Your clutch will depend on which transmission you use. If you are using the Celica’s S54 trans, the Southbend clutches are highly recommended. What will you be doing about an intercooler? Good luck, take lots of pictures, and happy boosting!

I am using the stock 5sfe tranny for my car and I was told I need a flywheel and pressure plate for my 3sgte engine is that okay ? And as far as the intercooler goes I was told I was okay using just a filter and stuff for now but some people say it runs to hot .. I'm not really sure I can't say i know like everything that why I need help and I wanna learn iv been doing tons and tons of research everyday thank you for helping me !
