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.

There where approx. 2500 made and the differences are:
Anti Lag System Water Injection Intercooler Spray Bar Taller Spoiler for aerodynamics The first three are disabled by factory, so I am stuck with a bunch of stuff that does not work!  Also, I have heard that the WRC CT20b exhaust turbine is steel, but after checking it out it is ceramic. The engine does not have anymore power then a regular ST205 engine.

You can make them work, theyre not just decoratives  the water injection could be a good one, as it lowers the temperatures, but do NOT take the anti-lag system in use  Or do it, if you can afford engineswaps every 15k miles?
