Hey guys

I'm just curious on where you're at with the V6 swap. Could you give us a brief overview of what you did so far and what kind of problems you encountered? maybe even some picts? smile.gif


reason for the post instead of pm is to share information

Unfortunately for me, i'm still searching for a 3MZ and related parts.

Well I really dont have a update as of much, I found a shinning 97 White GT hatch that im looking into gettin... other then that not many celica's in the area. I am wanting to get my perfect dream celica this time White GT hatch so that one would be perfect.

There are a few issues I am still try'n to work out, I have a 1MZ allready, no harness, no ECU, but they are a dime a dozen for Auto's.. Which still enlies the problem of finding a Manual ECU and Harness.

So this is how it stands at the moment Ive been talking with Fast 1 Motor Sports about down the line boosting my car, It will happen just when. This is the problem with gettin a 96+ Celica tho... OBDII... I am looking at running full stand-alone ECU, but still stay'n smog legal. There is no way I can get out of Smog and without running a ODBII styled EMS (estimated cost 2k) I dont see anyway around this. I am thinking my best bet would be to get a 94-95.

Any Ideas?

Basicly Other then that Ive got everything from my GT parts car so ST or GT base this doesnt really matter. Ive also got a near perfect Interior out of my 96. I have the Cage lined up threw DawgHouseKustoms (local certified welding shop), and basicly any part you can think of sitting in my room.
