i just wanted to tell you guys that i managed to get my swap running! had some electrica problem, but most of that is sorted out now. thanks to everyone that helped me out with this project.
i only started the motor up a few times and ran to for a total of 15 min, but everything sounds good so far. one of my axels is not in right, so i have to fix that, do my intercooler piping, exhaust, and put everything back together. then ill take it for a drive. cant wait! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

i got another axel from autozone....same part number as the last one, but this time its the correct size. so thats installed and the car is sitting on 4 wheels.
past few days ive driven the car 2 feet forward and 2 feet back...lol. still working out all the bugs in it. found a coolant leak that only happens when the car is warmed up, and fixed it. then i had a strange problem of the engine just shutting off and not wanting to come back on. i think it must be a short in a wire, so i took off all the crimp connectors i was using and soldered everything with a 230watt soldering gun (for those nasty thick alinator wires). so, now im hoping that fixed the problem. heres something no one told me about the swap....swap a 3sgte into your celia and you get a free lowering. my car now sits a lot lower in the front because of the extra engine weight and the eibach sportlines i have on there. i may have to end up getting coilovers or something if i start to bottom out a lot. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
