ST205 Swap in Progress, Engines are out of the cars Options

[PhilipK]

Here we go. I have had my Teal 1994 Celica for over a year now and bought it for the sole purpose to swap. I then purchased my ST205 front clip (which is a WRC, they did not tell me this) and then waited for over 6 months to start the swap. I waited so long because I was collecting parts and what not. But on Friday I finally got the bug and began. I pulled the engine out of the 94' and got the engine bay nice and clean with my pressure washer/degreaser. Then on Sunday I pulled the engine out of the clip and got everything organizing. Now I am going to start disassemble the 3SGTE and get ready to clean, sandblast, gaskets, etc. Also, I was reading about the wiring and decided to have dr_tweak do it because I don't like wiring and I am OCD when it comes to clean, so I hope he does a great job. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions, I have been searching this forum looking to find everything I can about the swap. Also, this is my 2nd 5SFE and 5th 3SGTE pull!

Let me know if you guys would like me to keep posting my progress!

Here are some pictures of what I did this weekend.

mmm st205.
Btw, st205 wiring is very simple. Its only about 4-5 wires that need to be changed.

You need to change the location of 3 wires on the inside of the car, repin one wire on plug IJ1 , add on 9 wires to EJ1, and extend the harness 28-30".


Time consuming, but pretty simple. Whatever you do, don't pay $400 for a converted ST205 harness.... I would do it for half.
