want 3s-gte motor Options

[blaque_6thGen]

Hey, guys. Right now I have a 1997 ST with 7a-fe, auto transmission. I want to do a complete conversion to a 3s-gte, manual transmission. I was wondering if anyone has a 3s-gte motor that they are trying to sell or if they know of a place that i can get one. Thanks guys!

Ok Ron, who did your swap? Do you have pictures of your swap?

Also: do you OWN a 6th gen? Or are you trying to sell a 4agze engine, This swap has been done, maybe a couple times in 6th gen Celicas? Your talking about "ease of getting your car going" but you've failed to mention that the wiring is very not easy, not well documented (or ever) and this completely eliminates that "ease" of having bolt on parts.

If your trying to sell your 4agze's to people because they are bolt on your not telling them the entire story, perhaps because your just trying to make money, I'm not sure. But the statement "just go 4agze" like its nothing, thats not knowing what your talking about. So dont come at me, someone whose been around for quite some time, knows quite a bit about this car, and tell me I dont kno what im talking about. I will definately post up some plots for you and everyone else to enjoy. I'm currently running about 200 to the wheels, untuned. You've said before the 4agze can handle 250 "properly tuned" reliablly. This is horsepiss for the 3sgte, where it has handled double that reliably.

Do not come into a forum, giving 1/2 truths so you can sell some engines. If you have a 6th gen, and have done a 4agze swap to that, then you will get your dues but I havent seen any sharing of information on a swap that people are starting to gain interest in.

whoa big fella. There is room here to disagree about what is "best" for st owners. Also, Ron is a well respected engine importer (almost an oxymoron these days) - just go look at his feedback on the mr2 board. Having someone like him post on our board is only a benefit. If you disagree with what he says, post a reply.

As for the wiring, just because it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean its any more difficult than the 3s wiring. Matching wiring if you know what each pin is for is not rocket science. Also, if you don't want to study the diagrams and learn, there are dozens of places that will do it for $200-$500.

I believe the issue is nobody has been able to find the apropriate wiring diagrams for imported 4agze engines. thats why John (mynzeyes) went back to his 7a and FAQdaWorld has yet to complete his swap. Ron may very well be a standup guy with imense knowledge on the 4agze but the fact remains until we find the wiring diagrams for the different jdm gz's this swap can't be recommended.
