So I am contemplating on doing a 3S-GTE swap as there is a local importer that has a couple of them (2nd, 3rd, 4th)
From all of the experienced members here, what would be the best choice for a 3sgte swap? Local importer quoted $2,100 for a 3rd gen 3S-GTE with everything including harness and ECU. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
1994 Celica GT Liftback |

I'm also going to be doing a swap soon and have been looking around at prices. I was thinking that an entire front clip would be the smartest option (not talking cheapest, but having all the parts). If I buy a front clip, and hypothetically every single part in it works what else do I need? Just to have the wiring harness redone?

If I buy a front clip, and hypothetically every single part in it works what else do I need? Just to have the wiring harness redone? Heres my homework- The suite next to my job sells the frontcut for $3,000, rear subframe assembly is included and the hood/bumper will be in *good shape. The 3S-GTE swap kit is $1,700. It includes the engine, wiring harness and ECU. I think that by getting the whole clip you have a few advantages. You now have a set of 4 piston calibers(GT and ST are only a single piston). Not sure what you could get for the brakes but definately a couple hundred. The superstrut suspension off the GT4 will be worth a couple hundred dollars at least. The RHD dash can be sold as a RHD conversion kit for $500 or you can sell the individual pieces GT4 fenders usually go for around $200 here. The side marker is up by the door. GT4 hood and bumper $400 and $200 is a fair price for the two of them. The crashbar, brackets hood latch and upper brace will also need to be used for a conversion. GT4 AWD transmission. Worth maybe $500 or a little more if you include axles and shift cables. Headlights- that an easy $100 Rear axle and driveshaft. Someone may want these and shell out a couple hundred Anyways, that gives you an idea of what you MAY be able to sell the stuff for. Also consider that any USDM parts you remove from your own vehicle can be sold as well This post has been edited by Special_Edy: Jul 19, 2012 - 1:16 PM |
