Swap parts list, Do I have everything covered? Options

[Yota]

For my 3SGTE swap, I have the motor (NEVERSTOP's), MR2T transmission,GT Motor Mounts, FMIC, GT Koyo Radiator, and a Blitz Turbo Timer.

I know that I need:
- Axles (MR2T inner halfshafts/88-91 V6 Camry outer halfshafts)
- Boost Controller (Apexi)
- Gauges (Oil Pressure, Boost, Water Temp)
- Wiring Harness extended
- Throttle Linkage (custom)
- Shift Linkage (custom)
- Supra TT Fuel Pump
- New Clutch
- New Exhaust (3")

Am I forgetting anything? My Celica is an ST so I don't know what would need to be done that would be different from a GT other than the mounts.


Also, with the MR2T transmission, what modifications need to be made to have it work in the Celica besides the axles modifications?

Yota, you may want to post on celicatech.com for the MR2T tranny swap. Also, talk to Supersprynt and celica3sgte as they have been doing a lot of research on the tranny swap too.

Also, Chris Detrich over there is EXTREMELY knowledgable and he is now doing swap wiring for about $350-$450. I think DG Performance might also be doing wiring harnesses.

On the camry half shafts, look for posts from Kuya1284 on this website to confirm that I got the years right.

You might want to invest in a HKS FCD for $100 which will allow you to safely boost to 15psi. There are instructions on mr2oc.com to make one for about $8 but my local radio shack didn't have all the necessary parts so I just bought the HKS one.

Are you going to replace the stock cats? Since you are in the greater Chicagoland area, you probably have emissions check, no? If not, getting a downpipe would be a good move. Aussie makes a good 3" if you are going to stick with a CT-26 or CT20b. If you are thinking about upgrading turbos, you might want to wait because a downpipe will differ depending on the turbo. Also, if you get a downpipe, you might want to wait until you have a turbo with an external waste gate to eliminate any potential boost creep problems. You may want to talk with Doge who has a 2.5" KO downpipe with his JDM ct-26 and see if he has any creep issues.

You might want to consider a Blitz EBC rather than the Apexi. The MR2 guys rave about them and its what I am getting. There is a 1/4 DIN unit one for about $300.

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Jay.
