Ok shortly what you need for make BEAMS swap

I did swap on GT (st202) I know you have convertible .....

first what parts You need for swap to GT .... (3s-ge 3gen ---> 3s-ge beams 4gen engine)

1. BEAMS

a) (best chose is RedTop manual from celica st202 jdm .... but can be from mr2)



b) Can be SilverTop -auto (lower price but You need change gearbox to S54, and ecu ... )
This topic is longer story ..... only if someone really interested

2. Air intake + MAF sensor (beams -> right )



3. Y-pipe (beams bellow)






4. You need cut and make longer wiring (about 1m ...RHD to LHD conversion)
(I will make photo later)

When You swapping to celica with 1.8 , 2.2 engines you need :

5. Transaxle from 3s-ge






6. gearbox control lines --You need little fabricate it to fit beams gearbox (S54)

from 2.0 GT (S54)




from left orginal from 2.0 GT next two are fabricated from 1.8 ....






ready


7. Engine mounts (two of them different ) ... and You need drill two holes

(photos later)
