I have a 5sfe and live 10 mins away from that place (JdmRacingMotors.com) and 2.5k$ sitting in my bank account.... how much more money would be needed to swap this (if MAF is included)? Is the swap pretty straightforward?

How about replacement parts (ie: gaskets and usual stuff) - is it hard to find or it share common parts with the 5sfe?

Thx

Since you have a GT, assuming it's a manual, the swap will be quite easy. I can't think of anything else you're going to need. The GT axles work, and you can swap over your current a/c compressor to keep your lines. I'd count on spending another $700, $200 for the harness and $500 for the odds and ends.

For replacement parts, you'll be able to use a few things from the 5SFE (not much), ignition parts from the newer Toyota engines, and some parts from the 1st gen 3SGE here in North America. Other than that, you can order what specific parts you need from Japan. The nice thing about the BEAMS is that it is very reliable and will likely run for many years without ever giving you a problem.

Another small note.

That transmission will have LSD as a stock item.

Be careful about saying that, I have yet to see a BEAMS redtop come with LSD. That one appears to come from the SSIII which did not always come with it.

Huh? There did you pull that off? Was toyota that stupid to let the 200hp FWD car out from the factory without LSD? My SSIII Does has ot for sure.
