I’ve recently decided it would be in my best interest for what I’m wanting is to swap the 5s out. Luckily I’ll get a little more life out of it so I can take my time and build the new motor. (Sweetheart only has 256,000 miles) but my question was has anyone swapped the 3sgte out of a 98-02 Caldina into ours? Mine is a 1995, I’ve searched for months now and cant get an exact answer. I’ve got a killer price on one and thought it might be worth it. Thanks ahead for your guys’ time.

when i decided to swap a 2grfe into my celica. I researched, because I knew no one had done it before. That did not stop me.
If you swap an engine, please get a common sense of the wiring. At least its my belief. the wiring on any 3sgte is a joke compared to the wiring and startup of a 2gr engine. I did it with no prior experience. I am not a mechanic, or an engineer. Just a lot of research. almost 120 wires in my harness. If i have an electrical gremlin, " I KNOW" where to look. but thats just me. get the wiring books and diagrams, and study them, if you can read a map, should be no problem. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

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...
