I know that a very easy way to swap the 3s is to get an MR2 clip...however...it is a bit more expensive than buying just the engine with the transmission, ecu, and wiring harness.....however i have read that you will be missing parts if you do it like that...since it would be easier for me moneywise to get the engine and etc. i was wondering if anyone has done this and what they would be missing...i know on the stickies the guy that swapped a 3s into his 1997 gave a list of a few things that you would be missing...anyone have anything to say about what he said....or any comments about what i should do?

The water neck, wiring harness, accessory brackets and other parts are different between the Celica GT4 and MR2 Turbo. If you are stuck on getting a motor set, make sure you go with a Celica motor set. And make sure you get all the parts. I would still highly suggest you get a clip.
To use an MR2 transmission, you will also need to convert the shift cables/brakets to FWD (they attach on opposite sides of the transmission).... it is not just a plug-n-play operation. -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
