Posted by: Needles Dec 29, 2010 - 8:25 PM

i bought it from someone who has get it in japan, about 2 month ago, he pay 350 cad for it, for the install, i had to make a big hole in the back of headlight and unglue the lens to fit the bi-xenon( to unglue it, just heat it up whit heat gun all aroung where the glue is, for 5 min, and slowly remove the lens whit screewdriver , u can leave the the glue there and heat it up back to put the lens back, or put new glue, ((nissan headlight glue ))heat it up back and put the lens back in, (i didnt took the glue off, ) ho and i paint the interior of the light in black plastic color, and i had leave the metal circle silver inside.i have a custom switch for the angel eye and i have to install the control for the light going on low and high beam (now its on high) the low and high beam is only one projector who is actually moving back or so to make more or less light

made up my mind 4 or at worst 5 days.,,,,

Posted by: SupraKid Jan 17, 2011 - 12:14 PM

You won't be able to do it in 3 days if your doing it by yourself. If you shooting for under 300 hp I'd stick with the s54. You need a s54 pressure plate, and either a s54 disk or a s54 splined 3sgte disk(dr tweak once said there is s very small difference and he uses s54 everything because of the cost). As for the fuel pump yes I'll need to upgrade,to either a gt4 pump or a walbro.


Look in the forced induction sticky area,there are quite a few 3sgte related topics.

Posted by: Needles Jan 17, 2011 - 4:18 PM

problem solved

Posted by: mak5603 Jan 17, 2011 - 4:42 PM

Dude...you have to do LOTS and LOTS of research. There is no one magical thread that tells you step by step what to do throughout an ENTIRE swap.

But if you search stickies, you will find many very informative and helpful threads and gain the knowledge to take on the job. You can't just go into something because you know it works and has been done, you have to know how to do it.

Posted by: Needles Jan 17, 2011 - 5:41 PM

im going whit the 5s transmission 3sgte pressure plate and disk, 5sfe clutch ,

Posted by: mkernz22 Jan 17, 2011 - 6:04 PM

do MOAR research!!!!!!!

you've been on here for 2 months, you need to research. i'm going to be researching over a period of 4 years (not needed though) but that's how long I'll be in college. and no, 3 days is not possibly for a one man crew, probably not even a 2 or 3 man crew unless they really know what they are doing. do not jump the gun because you will mess something up.

Posted by: SupraKid Jan 17, 2011 - 8:22 PM

Its 80% the EXACT same.

If you have researched at ALL you'd find that the 2nd and 3rd gens are physically the same to swap in, the only major difference with the 2nd gen swap is the wiring nightmare. I can see you seem to be getting POed and ill tell you if you blow up and attempt to tell off a member your gonna lose everyone's support and help, so id advise against that. Its nice to see you seem to have learned some grammar skills though.

3sgte sooon

Posted by: Needles Jan 18, 2011 - 8:25 PM

i had change a supra 88 engine by my self 8 years ago took 6 month, so i learn... and i will do it in 3 day, whitout mistake and maybe i will do a threat how to put 3sgte the easy way on the gt, i will do thew wiring harnees begfore the swap, andd i already found all the wiring diagram from 5sfe to 3sgte 3th gen, i let you know how it gonna be

Posted by: SupraKid Jan 18, 2011 - 8:35 PM

You have now rendered the last sentence in my last post untrue :\. What engine did you put in the mk3?Because unless its a jz engine its plug and play and a MUCH easier swap than a 3sgte swap. Are you going to be swapping alone or will you have other people helping you out? If your doing it alone look at at LEAST 4 solid days of swapping(if you know exactly what your doing and have 0 gremlins, both of which will not be true.)

Posted by: Needles Jan 18, 2011 - 8:41 PM

i will let u all know of my progress, all help is very appreciated , thanks

Posted by: mkernz22 Jan 18, 2011 - 8:45 PM

just because you did 1 engine swap does not mean you learned anything. supras are different than celicas. different body, different wiring, different engine, pretty much different everything! you have no experience with this car. what if you mess the swap up? you're going to be car-less for more than 3 days. THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO SWAP A 3S INTO THE GT! do you not comprehend what we are telling you?

Posted by: SeverX13 Jan 18, 2011 - 9:02 PM

dude, its awesome you have a thread to show your progress and you want to swap and do allt hat cool stuff to your 6gc but seriously. do research. alot of it. talk to members who have swapped but use real legit questions. and look at build threads on 3sgte's.

Posted by: SeverX13 Jan 21, 2011 - 6:10 PM

lots and lots of very usefull information here too http://www.6gc.net

Posted by: JuMPiiN Jan 21, 2011 - 6:53 PM

I really wish there was a facepalm expression on here. Your not going to do it in 3 days with no gremlins ext, Just the wiring if you do it yourself will take a day.

Its cool that you love your car, made a progression thread, showed you mods which are neat and tasteful to say the least. But your not going to swap in 3 days. Heres basic math if your doing it alone

Day 1 - Pull old engine
Day 2 - do wiring, and maybe run new harness
Day 3 - Replace old worn out parts, broken parts, missing parts ext.
Day 4 - Put in engine, connect harness, exhaust, ext.
Day 5 - Try and start car and search for the gremlins that are going to be there.
Day 6 - get on here and ask whats wrong.

Thats just basic and thats if your spending your entire day doing it.

I know you said youve found everything you needed to know, but you havnt. you cant compare a supra swap to a celica swap. Goodluck and I'll be watching and counting the days.

i just find a 4th gen 3sgte , its only 1500$ , if someone know if the transmission of my 5s will fit like it fit the 3th gen 3sgte, ^?

http://www.casimages.com

its ST215 GT-T

Posted by: mkernz22 Jan 22, 2011 - 1:00 PM

You can find a 3rd gen 3sgte for the same price.
It's hard to find maintenance parts (well parts in general) for the 4th Gen or so I've heard.

Posted by: JuMPiiN Jan 22, 2011 - 2:41 PM

Dont buy from them or tiger japanese... word of advice.

Posted by: SupraKid Jan 22, 2011 - 3:32 PM

The st215 3sgte in our cars is not a very smart move compared to the 3rd gen. Member _jim_ can ship a FULL 3rd gen 3sgte swap to you for $2100. And saying the 4th gen is 1500(shipped??) and you HAVE to have the harness done by a professional, you will NOT, i repeat, you will NOT be able to do that harness conversion yourself. Your looking at 2100$ alone right there.

Heres the 3sgte generation breakdowns:

1st gen-Useless, was in the st165 rally celica but compared to the other gens its useless
2nd gen- ST185 rally 5th gen celica-Different turbo and various parts,wiring is much harder than the 3rd gen, but all costs on this engine are cheaper(engine,parts,ect) with minimal power lose.
3rd gen-st205 6gc celica-Literally 6 wires to splice,highest HP #s for less about of money, documented swaps to hell and back
4th gen-st215 CADILINA-wiring NIGHTMARE,initial HP #s same as 3rd gen but MANY parts need upgraded to get the hp #s up. The wiring has never been documented because it is incredibly hard

If you'd like more in detail differences between the engines i know there's quite a few in depth replies about it. But yes all the 2nd,3rd and 4th (and possibly the 1st) are all physically the same the the mounts/tranny are the same.


I agree with the tiger imports, i've never heard a 100% good story come out of they're transactions.

Posted by: richee3 Jan 22, 2011 - 4:09 PM

1.) You put projectors behind frosted lenses in your headlights. You have COMPLETELY defied the purpose of both projector headlights AND frosted lenses. Hope you have night vision because you effectively have no high beams at all.

2.) I saw a music video once. Did I become Jimi Hendrix? Just because you've read a thread about the 3S swap doesn't mean you can do the 3S swap. So, unless you start heeding the advice from those of us who actually HAVE done the research, this project will come to a grinding halt. You'll mess your car up beyond repair and then you'll have to sell a Celica that doesn't run because it has no motor.

Posted by: Needles Jan 22, 2011 - 4:14 PM

i get the engine here in mtl, i found almost 10 3sgte 3th gen here in montreal now, and the best deal i got they sell me the engine whit all and all the clutch assembly but whitout the tranny for 1400$ in very good shape, if i have the money i buy it today, and pick it up today !!! i hav e found 2 engine 2th gen 3sgte 1 for 800 and 1 for 900$....whitout tranny, just search jdm montreal , u have live listing on what they have in staock, no need shipping for me lol

i caanot use hicg beam cauze its too much high for the other, they flash me....and the high beam is not bad, someday i will change the lens...

Posted by: SupraKid Jan 22, 2011 - 4:18 PM

High beams are not made to use when other ppl are around, they are made to be used when your alone with no other cars(or lights) around, so you can see the deer (or moose where you are) before you hit them.


Goodluck with your swap and ill be awaiting your millions of questions and rants about how we didnt tell you so..


The lowest priced 3rd gen on jdm montreal is $2,000. If you were smart you would buy this:

Posted by: JuMPiiN Jan 22, 2011 - 11:37 PM

If you pay 1500 for that your crazy...... seriously by all means dont buy from that company or tiger.... there always the cheapest, they dont take care of there engines, ext ext ext..... there that cheap bc there not taken care of. Buy from someone or some respectable company.

sorry for the bad quelity of picture ,

Posted by: cjh4l22 Feb 12, 2011 - 8:47 PM

dude are you typing all of this from a cell phone? or have you misplaced your "del" or "backspace" keys?
its 3RD gen, not 3th gen.
quality not quelity
replacing the oil seal is not nearly as big a job as a motor swap.
how did an OIL leak (literally like the dirtiest thing to clean, ever) give you a clean floor?
that rear bumper is ... yea
and you didn't need them to send you the entire steering column for only a steering wheel. they detach.
x2 on the bi-xenon/HID upgrade you did with your original headlight glass

and there is NO-way you'll swap that quick. and if you say so, then prove it. i've been working on my 2nd gen 3sgte swap for a year and its still not done because of alll kinds of random issues that popped up. and my motor was already fully built, not a "good one" picked from 1000's imported from japan.


but good luck to ya, seriously.

Posted by: Needles Feb 14, 2011 - 2:02 AM

i dont order piece, i just go buy them in store, i dindt order the steering, and sorry for my non delete style, cauze my english is bad cauze im french,
oil leak on the shaft make splash everywhere,


rear bumber i think of cutting the side and fix it on the original
how the hell is taking u a year to do the swap, anyway
im gonna have my mecanic friend and we already have setup to do it in 3 or 4 days,

he race in professionnal bike racing , he tune and built is own bike and get the podium more often than any others, he got about 10 toyota supra and porsche had ask him to work for them, but he will do the swap whit me for free (he is my old friend) its gonna take time before i get the custom exhaust and maybe the fuel pump but soon i have all the part, nothing gonna stop me , bigger wire for fuel pump, nice weld relay, wiring harness modif welded, plkug for intercooler hybrid clutch etc etc etc...stop ppl thinking i dunno nothing about it thats anoying

i will put pic and step by step for the install , but i dont have my engine before a couple of week..... i wait

but thanks for the ggod luck

Posted by: whatthe Feb 14, 2011 - 2:13 AM

I really want to see this modified front bumper to a rear bumper. Would be mad fun driving in reverse.

hahaha yeah really lol

Posted by: delusionz Feb 14, 2011 - 2:55 PM

Looks like everyones hating on you for looking into getting boosted, haha jealous much?

The W2A in that pic is fine, those scratches ontop are just on the sticker. you can peel the sticker off and order a new one for a couple bucks, no need to replace the whole thing.

Posted by: SeverX13 Feb 15, 2011 - 1:32 PM

not hating because hes boosted. why would someone already boosted or swaped be jealous. most of us who are "hating" have been through it or done a swap before. any who. we arent hating. we are saying for him never havin experience with a 3s swap before it will not take him 3 or 4 days. little problems always arise. i had "plans" to boost my car in 5 days. ended up being 2 weeks.

question plz, since the ecu is in middle of the car in the console, should it be easyer to just do one hole in the firewall to pass the wiring harness however than extend it ?

Posted by: mkernz22 Mar 9, 2011 - 4:27 PM

what ever you feel more comfortable with. I'd rather extend the wiring rather than cut another hole in the firewall

Posted by: Needles Mar 15, 2011 - 6:25 PM

3sgte for sunday...... i just talk to my good friend who gonna sell me the stuff, he s gonna let me the mr2 tranny brand new rebuilt whit mr2 and st185 shaft, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! FOR 400$ MORE !!!! thanks to toyota11 [url="http://toyota11.monchar.com/"]http://toyota11.monchar.com/[/url

Posted by: Needles Mar 16, 2011 - 1:05 PM

.......



........finally, i will not put the mr2 transmission, reason is:

-need st205 support for transmission (i dont have)
-need st205 cable (dont have)
-need new cluster gauge to fit
-and the worst, is that transmission, toyota11 say to me in 5th gears he goes 120km/h at like 4000 /4200 rpm !!


even if the the e153 have better clutch, and bigger shaft, and lsd, i think i will save myself from a lot of trouble ,
i will buy a performance clucht for s54,


what is yours suggestion , what kind of clutch is the best,? i dont want to go more than 300hp in the future .

im pretty sure the e153 has taller gears

Posted by: cjh4l22 Mar 16, 2011 - 9:57 PM

I 2nd that. if you put them in an online gear ratio and hp calculator. its more like 3k at 70mph and 4k at 85mph

plus you don't need a new cluster for the e153 transmission...
the other info is correct though.

fitment look ok...but you still got small gaps in the headlamp bottom portion and the top of the nose.

Posted by: Needles Mar 20, 2011 - 10:07 PM

does someone know how much horsepower the downpipe and 3" exhaust give on stock 3sgte ?

Posted by: Needles Mar 21, 2011 - 1:37 PM

i cannot see what u mean... sorry im blind, could u show me mark where the gap is... or maybe in the upper, between the hood there is some gap, but that is normal

Posted by: delusionz Mar 21, 2011 - 9:53 PM

No two 3S-GTE motors are the same, but depending on the boost level you're running and the condition of the motor & turbo internally, you could achieve anywhere from 180hp to 300hp at the treads

Posted by: Needles Mar 23, 2011 - 7:43 PM

today i have put the 3" exhaust and apexi muffler i got. i was on the go to put the 3sgte next week, so i wanted to do some job before i start the swap, cauze im using the car now. so after i fit the exhaust,there was a gap between manifold and exhaust on the stock 2.2l engine like 7 inch approx, i had 2 old exhaust , so i cut the tip that connect to manifold on the 2 exhaust, joined together and that make the missing link needed, til next week (i have 3" downpipe to custom it to fit the one from the st185 i think , custom one...) so, it small mouth whit big big ass lol, the sound is really like it got base sound , at 3k rpm its too loud, at 4k rpm its the best sound i ever heard, no base at 4k, am asking myself if i need another resonator or change the big big apexi muffler , anyway, everybody looked at my caR today (i work on the delivery whit it) and 3 wanted to race, bmw 2011, volvo 06-07 modified turbo , and some others....oooo man i need my engine in !!!! i was just not ready for the challenge lol. and at the little store someone say to me, hey{ u have a nice car, what is it ? and he was really impress by it, he ask to check it out and the store keeper want to check it too lol, and he show me is car on is i-phone, he did have a 2007 porsche twin turbo 3.8 v6, i was happy to know when u have a porsche like this u still have interest in a 1994 celica lol. but bad news anyway, when i changed my exhaust i saw my cross member is failing at the left tab, the tab ok but the cross member is crack there. and i hear knock tok tlok not tok when i turn left at certain speed, **** !i need new cross member before the swap......

umm i have a caldina engine i paid 1200 for it and dr tweak does the wireharness for 580 flat there is nothin different about this engine but that umm idk maybe that its not as old as the 3sgte st205 it drop's right in u can use most of the parts off of the st205 only thing that is different is that it has c.o.p's im so tired of hearing people talk bad about this engine if u ask me i think yall are just to cheap to buy a caldina .... and the bad thing is .. is that if u already have a gt celica all you have to do is drop the engine in change the flywheel and clutch and send your wire harness to tweak if u can get one for 1500 your going to spend like 2500 total on the swap if u do it your self wowwww that cost sooooooooooooo muchhhhh and u got 20 more hp for 400 bucks please learnnnn your info before u talk ish and u cant even tell me anything i dont know because i have a caldina and have already done this swap so i know what it takes and what it doesn't

i think the wiring is good
i will try this tommorow: from what i can tell with the wiring

the 205 starter relay runs its power through the 7.5a ST fuse where as on the 204 it gets directed through the 7.5a IGN fuse. I jumped that so now when i turn the key it opens the relay for the starter and the starter goes on.

so when you turn the key to the position that the car would normally run in the starter stays on? The other relay box that sits up near the rad holds the intercooler pump relay, fuel pump relay and dimmer relay. Also the fuses for the left and right high beams. What is the current problem? Because there is nothing in this box that should give you trouble with the starter circuit.

You can wire around it, I think... look at the diagrams and fake it. You will have to wire your fuel pump to recieve full voltage all the time (getting rid of the fuel pump resistor).

At this point, you should be able to start your car with the B+ and FP pins jumpered in the diagnostics connector in the engine bay.

Posted by: brenton1919 Apr 6, 2011 - 11:34 PM

I know for a fact that there is more than making your wires longer for the st205 there are sum other wires that need to be moved and stuff i watch the guys do it from ATS but i cant remember wat wires they were so long ago lol but i hope u gett it working because i know ATSRACING will charge u around 2500 to 3000 to fix your wires and tweak well lol lets just say i tried to do my caldina harness by my self lol yeah i had to pay him a 1000 dollars to fix it lol so i really hope u get it working if would have just sent them to tweak from the start yyou would have been lookin at like 5 something but noww whooo knowwwwssss lol but i dont know to much about st205's but if you ever get a caldina i got u i know alot about the caldina engines

Posted by: Needles Apr 15, 2011 - 1:26 PM

the problem was bad connection of positive to the starter (baddly connected on the starter) now my starting circuit working fine,
the problem is i think i missed some ground or something cause the ground wire on the engine to front body just fried totally burn when i put the ignition to on position, at the same time my light go low

now all working fine, but before i try start my car again, i wanna find where it goes wrong whit the ground...maybe i missed one to firewall

I still don't understand where you got the idea to rip apart the loom and twist wires together and tape them up before bothering to read pinouts, before checking grounds, before securing connections

Especially a whole bunch of wires at a time.

Seriously man what were you thinking?

I told you those wires you made to the starter motor were fuct up and what to check and jump and circuit test etc but you several times insisted on playing with your headlights instead. Did you not realise those guides were written unassuming of someone diving into the deep end with an engine swap and totally butchering the new loom.

If you can afford to pay for these parts, can you atleast pay someone with half a brain to correct your mistakes?

Posted by: Needles Apr 22, 2011 - 6:34 AM

no

i just try to swap it myself so i can learn
no one else have touched my car but only my two hand and im proud of it,
now i have a nice ground setup whit 4 gauge all new wire
i did post a lot for the ppl can see what happen when u have gremlins, so they can understand better what they going thru

anyway
i didnt had lot of time lately to spend on the car and it was not at my home, i will get it back today

if u ask urself why i rip apart the loom is because i was bored to loom it back nicely each time i check something, i WILL LEAVE IT LIKE That untill i make it start !!

and i had looked at the diagram , looked and looked again.. when u only have to splice one wire inside , and make connection for the ea1 plug, its normal i have start by the easy way before i get thru the diagram...

and there is no way i will let someone touch my wiring at this point , i just have to go check all connection carrefully

half a brain.....

Posted by: Needles Apr 22, 2011 - 6:49 AM

ho yeah i took off the wire to the starter motor u talked about, it was just for one try
i have the original hooked up and the connectivity is good

dude, you keeping post sh!t about needing help and why your car wont start, well its because your wiring is majorly f*cked! there are some things in a swap you cannot do by yourself, and one of those is the wiring. it doesnt matter how big your grounds are because if you're frying the ground wires, then there is something messed up with the wiring.

Posted by: Needles Apr 27, 2011 - 10:19 PM

nada, my wiring is 100% done and working

my mistake: the EA1 wasnt plug correctly because i had to took off some gray plastic around the plug was blocking the connection...

now i need..

-new fuel filter
-created intake connection for all circulation hose,
-switch for water intercooler pump, (i want put timer later for it)
-new battery (already have it)
-finish change rubber on the axles shaft (the inner rubber is 85$ at toyota )
-downpip[e 3" i need modified to connect custom exhaust
-need new driver side beering

Posted by: Needles May 6, 2011 - 2:13 PM

i have send my front axle (mr2 inner st185 outter ) for a rebuilt because i had hard time to put it back together
i just receive it and i got one rubber replaced , and all ball beaRING replaced whit biggger ball, cause the mecanic guy say its loose and a little bit worn so it can came out the shaft while driving,

cost of rebuilt 120$

Posted by: korban May 7, 2011 - 6:34 PM

There's a bit of a knack to putting CV's back together. Took me an hour to do my first one, 5min for the second, it's like one of those wooden puzzles that you need to slide together in the right order.

How much bigger were the new balls? Wouldn't want it to get hot and bind, I've seen a ball push right through the housing, made a real mess.

Posted by: Needles May 9, 2011 - 3:38 PM

i will ask for the size of the new ball bearing , i dont know how much bigger they are, but i was about to put my axle on and one of them pop out cause i push to hard on it cause it was jamm easely...anyway that gonna be fix , i will try to put this one back toghether \

i search all over the web for 2 day now and i cant find a way to avoid it but only to imitate the original circuit whit resistor and everithing
i cant brige the sensor for water level since i dont have the plug for the pump

someone have a way to do it or a link ?

Posted by: delusionz May 11, 2011 - 6:36 PM

can u find the wires at all? just 2 wires go from the sensor, one goes to ecu, one finds its way to ground somewhere in the loom, i think it branches off the loom near the IAT wires

Posted by: Needles May 11, 2011 - 7:00 PM

yes this 2 wire on the sensor on the charge cooler , but if i bridge it, does my cpu will run ok ? because i dont have the connection for the IWP and i want to plug it direct whit a switch so i can leave it on if i have to close the car and it still hot

so, if i bridge the sensor on the charge cooler, does it gonna bring the code 54 cause i dont have the water pump plug ?

Posted by: delusionz May 12, 2011 - 5:21 AM

the factory setup is the best, running the water pump full time prolongs heatsoak, aswell as wears the pump out faster. also if the pump fails your ecu wont know to take safety precautions to prevent detonation and overheating until it's too late.

trust me on this one, theres 100% cons and 0% pros in running the pump full time, if you think you're going to get cooling faster what you're actually doing is spreading engine heat through all of the water since its not being cooled when the cars stationary, so that when you start to take off it will take longer as it has to cool ALL of the water, not just what happens to be sitting above the engine at the time.

and if that doesn't deter you, then the quick answer to your question is No, the ecu will throw a code without the intercooler pump

btw , i think im going blue and yellow for engine part

Posted by: delusionz May 14, 2011 - 12:25 PM

1. e= earth

2. the numbers are the numbers on the pins of the particular relay they use in that diagram, i assume its an automotive relay of a certain amperage rating and just a single circuit breaker which will have pins labeled those numbers.

3. i think u can use any automotive relay (in that configuration in the diagram) thats 12 volts and has a single circuit breaker, cant see any reason why not.

but you really should wire it in like stock, even if you have to cut the connector off the water pump and use an aftermarket connector, it's just so much better for your ecu to know whats going on so it can protect itself. trust me i just had my engine overheat and blew the seals in my turbo so i bought a new turbo because the one i had wasnt worth rebuilding

Posted by: Needles May 14, 2011 - 12:55 PM

yeah i saw what happen to your turbo.. thats bad . i have hard trooble finding how get rid of code 54, but later, i will try to fix it the good way, whit original, wiring, but , i dont have the cpu intercooler and i cant find the part now
im gonna try to fake the cpu, but i will check my pump very often if i do so

here is some nice thing to know when getting rid of code 54:

Solving Code 54 For Continuous Intercooler Operation
So you connected the intercooler pump to ignition power and now got a Code 54, and now you can't find it in the maintinance manual? Well the "easiest" way to get rid of it is by using a 20w, 12v indicator globe (light bulb!) on the original wires from the ECU. Or a ceramic resistor that would fall into that power range, as described below.
Well it's done...I finally hacked the stubborness of the GRP A, CS, RC ECU!!! The mod is a permanent one i did using 2 ceramic resistors to fool the ECU into thinking the water pump for the intercooler is still connected. The globe worked great, BUT a globe can blow out, and you will get a fault code in your ECU again. For anyone who wants to do this mod the specs are as follows for the resistors you will need.

Ceramic wirewound resistors - 17w 15r (not sure what the 15r stands for) avaliable from RS Components PN : 206-1647 @ $8.60 for a pack of 5. Any electronics part supplier should carry these resistors in stock.

To install, you must find the intercooler pump, then follow the wires up towards the battery (makes the job a lot easier to remove the battery) and behind the headlight. Find what one is the positve terminal...mine was the black wire on the AU ST 185 GRP A. To do this, start the car and blip the throttle wide open, and if you have a test light in one of the wires the positive one will light up the test lamp. Mark that wire, as you will later connect it to the ignition. Then cut the wires off completely, but leave enough so you can work with them.

Then wire two (2) of the resistors in parallel, that means you get the outside wire on one resistor and solder it to the SAME wire on the other resistor and do this for the inside wire as well. Then make a mounting bracket, I made one out of a strip of aluminium. Get some 5 minute epoxy and glue the resistors to the bracket, and when set, wrap with 2 zip/cable ties to hold it all together. Install the bracket with the resistors to somewhere that can handle some heat as the resistors get warm to hot. I rivited mine on the steel chassis behind the headlight facing the battery.

Connect the wires from the ECU to the resistors and solder in place. The polarity is not an issue, either way will do. Cover the soldered wires in heat shrink or electrical tape to stop it shorting out.

Connect the positive wire from the pump to constant ignition and the other to a good earth and solder all connections as moisture can be a problem if not soldered. Re-install the battery, and if you didn't pull it out, pull the fuse and relay out for the ECU (in the little fuse and relay box next to the battery) for a minute or two just to be sure and erase any previous codes that may be stored. Re-install the fuse and relay and go for a test drive.

You should have NO engine check light. When you return, do a dignostic check (little grey box, between the strut tower and the firewall). This is done by using a piece of wire and slotting one end into the socket marked "TE1" and the other end is slotted into the other socket marked "E1" .

Then go into the car and turn the key to "ignition" and the engine check light will flash a code IF there is a fault. For example, if it is a code 54 - that means there is a problem in the intercooler circuit, the light will flash 5 times, followed by a little break of about a second and another 4 flashes, then a big break of about 3 seconds. This code will repeat over and over if you have one.

I doubt you will have a code 54 though . Happy cool intercooling!!

i saw deluzion plumb back the bov in the intake just before the turbo, but the original is plumb back in the filter,
when u release the gas pedal, and the bov release the extra pressure, does it better to plumb it back where the filter is and not near the turbo ?
since when you release the pedal, u dont need pressure, and your engine need to release the extra pressure, maybe ist not good to plumb back direct in turbo...

Posted by: delusionz May 17, 2011 - 8:55 PM

if you see the HKS, Blitz, Apex'i & etc kits while they do place the bov near the filter, it's only to retain the stock bov pipe for a true bolt in kit and what you'll notice is that it's aimed towards the turbo instead of the filter like this



the idea of aiming towards the turbo is to keep it spinning, and give it enough air to give you better response when you quickly reapply throttle. Everything will equal out so if one end becomes a high pressure zone, air will quickly escape to the low pressure zone at the other end. Thats where it makes the tututushhhhh sound if you dont get back on the throttle, otherwise theres hardly any bov sound at all because the turbo reuses the air.

Naturally theres always a very slight amount of compressor surge, it's normal and this is no different. The dangerous one is where a full amount of boost at high revs backs up against the compressor with no BOV at all

yesterday i did ride the 3sgte for the very first time, (the only 3gen 3sgte i ever seen installed in a car anyway)

had full of problem, but not that bad

water pump work whit inside switch (alone !)
fuel pump is b+ fp direct connect
have not finish the recirculation of intake
had my exhaust 3 time to the shop to make it fit, but i need to cut it again cause it not bolt easely to the downpipe
my power steering leaking at the pump connection (didnt had time to check it)
didnt had time to install the code54 solution
need to fix a lot of other little thing,
get my seat higher, get my axle fix again (the car is shaking and its knocking from the front after 2k rpm and when i press gas for power, but its not knocking when i get to 70 km/h and stay smooth on gas



its really not the same car, when i took it

it felt so beast that almost scare me, when u push the gas, its like your seat gonna take you to the sky, the only thing thing this car missing is some wing and i think it gonna fly....

good job bud. Nothing beats the satisfaction you did everything on your own

Posted by: NYp8tBaller07 May 27, 2011 - 11:06 PM

very nice, and what did you do to fix your rust, I have the same problem =(

Posted by: Needles May 28, 2011 - 12:24 AM

thats is easy in basic

i use bondo putty, but sometimes renforced whit fiberglass
u will have to practice and know to do putty,

first, you will have to grind all the rust from the fender, make large pass whit the grinder to keep your line right, this part is easy,keep the shape of the car, after you will have to find a way to get rid of all the rust you can see down there, i did use spinning metal brush for the finition (little hole of rust is the worst) go whit the sander, 60 to 220 grind, sand it a bit, and after make it clean (is you use water, use hot water and dry it carefully after) importaNT here is to get rid of all rust and all dust.

now u have that big hole in front of you and you want to patch it, if you are not sure if some rust still left cut around the hole whit the grinder,
buy some aluminium sheet, (15$) and cut it , put it where the hole is, make some hole for the srew whit your tool (hold the piece there and make all the hole for all scew you want to have, at least 3 srew) make sure shape the piece to keep the shape , its easyer after whit the putty: here is your own choice to put the aluminium inside or outside, for some hole i put it inside and for other outside, remember that putting it inside , you will need a lot of puutty and work, putting it outside can change the shape of your car



after the hole is cover whit the plate, you can start to work whit the putty ( expecting you knowing how lol ) you can start from the back wheel fender and make pas to redisigned your car, you have to be good if there was big hole, dont put too much putty, the sanding gonna be nightmare,start whit fiberglass renforced putty, and finish whit finition putty, ho and you can grind the scew that leave there whit the grinder after the plate hold whit putty

for the sanding sta whit 120 or like, and make large pass always in the same way , donmt push too hard and that is long job, when you get your shape, change to 220, and after, let it dry, check the inperfection, clean it, whit some stuff, put putty where it needed, and start again sand, at the end finish whit 400

shooting some primer of your choice, after you shoot the primer you can clearly see the imperfection, and you start over and over...

after that you paint it, for me, the picture was take after one winter of driving after the job done

as for the bottom door

Posted by: Needles May 29, 2011 - 5:51 PM

had full of problem , but once again, not thnat bad

after running the engine a bit, i did try it one good shot, finnally

leak of the water pump (pump of engine) started after 5 min, there is a lot of water drip come from the seal of water pump
second, leak at the oil filter, where the plug for oil temp is, its a big leak im worried cauze ive had fix that and place seal and everithing nicely beforte bolt the oil filter, and the oil comming out is very dirty , even if i did clean the engine before whit new oil, now i will need to buy another mobil one for 50 $ ****ty, can'T drive it like that,
ftemperature water goes to 90*, boost gauge work really good, i saw my boost gauge get to 0.5 bar easily, but i dint check it enough, and i forgot to check my oil temp ,

engine temp just under the middle line,

front axle fix, works great !!
\d
shifter really bad, i cant put it in 2 , or really , really hard to put it in 2, 4 and reverse, even if i back up the shifter console, i need to trick it to get in those gear, 1 and 3 gear goeas in whit no problem, almost impossible to get the 2nd gear and reverrse,

when i get on the autoroute, i put it in 3 gears and i just try it too see the power, there was one new charger and and one new camaro, im pretty sure i scrared them lol, ITS POWERFULL!!!! THE 3sgte is one engine design for racing ... and its really do the job !the original bov sound crazy when nothing is plumb back !

3 free day left,

im gonna buy some redline mt 90 for my e153,

but i read that mix it whit mtl 50/50 to keep the shifting smooth for the winter,
so im gonna try 2 liter of redline mt90 and 2 liter mtl and see...

Posted by: Needles Jun 13, 2011 - 1:13 PM

i drove my car today for 1 hour and half,

temperature look good, on the highway at 78
on the city 90 to 100

but i get at my home and wait a bit and close the car, and let the gauge open, and THE WATER TEMP GOES UP TO 108 !!
i need to start the car and it goes to 102, and i stop it and it goes back to 108,

is that normal , why my car getting hot like this after i close it,
and there was full pressure on the radiator hose, i cant press on it

and that was a really smooth ride

and btw, the shifting is the best i ever try in a car, its absolutely perfect passing to 4 to 5th gears is so short and easy lol

So instead of fixing your gas tank that wont hold over 6 gallons, you decided to 3sgte swap you car..Seems rational to me. If you run low on fuel, then attempt to boost, the engine will starve for gas.

i did some food delivery tonight whit my car , after all the work ive put on it, i did the real test
result = really fast and the tranny is awesome !

front axles working great
everything is hook up
the very first time i try it ....ist soo crazy !!!
its sound like a wildcat
i ive put one bolt in the strip hole in my tranny whit epoxy metal and that do the job for the rear mounth fix
the engine is really stiff !
response is good, shifting is superb fantastic whit mt-90 redline in the mr2 lsd tranny ......
is FUN TO drive its addictive ,

im worry when i stop the engine after riding its (i waity 1 or 2 minute sometimes) my water temp goes up to more 115 c* i start the car and its stabilized temp i stop it and temp goes up again,

i notice that using my inc water pump mannually does pratically nothing to the engine,
in fact when i ask for some power the temp goes up. there the pump should start whit the pedal press, because,
the inc cool the water for 6-8 sec to 4-7 c* cooler and after that ist useless to keep it running...so i just use it for extra cooling, that incooler systhem is really weak , i was thinking for some constant cooling, front inc on the way maybe...

btw the car is driving stiff and good no bizzare noise , i think its ready to drive
1 month, 3 week, real swap time

I'm all for "go before show", but your car could really benefit from some body work and paint!

But... I'd still rather an ugly 3SGTE power Celica rather than a pretty 5SFE powered Celica.

Posted by: Needles Jul 6, 2011 - 4:58 AM

lol right ,
but i dont think its ugly lets say its just not super clean, body work and paint is my next goal ,

Posted by: mkernz22 Jul 6, 2011 - 1:34 PM

Well if you're tight on money (like me) then it's more about making the car look good for right now haha
It's not that I'm looking for the "show" look, but just more as the car looking nice and clean.

The rims look great though man!

i dont really know whta the color of my car anyway lol

yea but when your driving no one is really going to notice

Posted by: mak5603 Jul 19, 2011 - 1:45 AM

Yeah Walbro's make noise. Hence the nickname whine-bro's.

Posted by: Needles Jul 19, 2011 - 5:29 AM

lol, right ,
what should be really cool is to make the walbro voltage change according to the pedal gas position ,
instead of full voltage all the time
instead of the 2 speed original setup 205 (low , high)
having it follow , in some kind of way , monitoring the gas pedal and give the correct voltage according to it .to the walbro
and having it running any voltage,
so you will never heard it since when you press gas a lot, engine make noise louder

just an idea..

Posted by: Needles Jul 19, 2011 - 6:19 AM

right

no, it is as bad as it looks. all of that may not be rotted through, but it is rusting out inside of itself and then it will break.

Posted by: Batman722 Aug 15, 2011 - 8:27 PM

it's bad.
If it's rotting there I have a good idea of the many other spots it's rusting out.

I had a rust filled ST. I saw the rust progression in that car go from just a little rust and then became dangerous to drive. Seeing the rot in your pics, I give the car less than a year before the brake lines and front/rear subframes are toast.

I could be wrong though.

Posted by: Ted95 Aug 15, 2011 - 9:33 PM

and off roading with that rot prob isnt the best idea either.. id def try and go through the car and get rid and patch up as much rot as you can

Posted by: jordisonjr Aug 16, 2011 - 3:35 PM

Why would you even waste the time to do a swap in this car..

Posted by: Needles Aug 21, 2011 - 12:59 AM

drive it yourself one time and ask me again this question.

Posted by: Needles Aug 21, 2011 - 1:21 AM

you can clearly heard the noise of my axle when accelerating here,
i dont know what it is,
but i know its my engine moving created that sound.

Sounds like a sensible choice..

Posted by: Needles Aug 21, 2011 - 6:51 PM

its still tought ! the rust on there was created by the inside rear wing thats make the hole, but the rear suspension frame is not affected, its just a hole inside a wing....and all tyhe other part of my car is ok, no rust, i can easely patch it up ,
and to be sure, put a rear torsion bar, since the frame is not damage

Posted by: stephen_lee Aug 21, 2011 - 8:13 PM

take a needle gun, and run it across important frame sections. you will see how much rust is there as the needle gun will destroy rust, but leave healthy steel unaffected

Posted by: Needles Aug 22, 2011 - 4:55 PM

i just find this clutch for 50$,
i did have the old otiginal clutch but it running good (3sgte 3gen)
does someone knows about that clutch ,

Posted by: njccmd2002 Aug 23, 2011 - 12:20 AM

Rust is eating your car away. Is not as bad as it looks because you cannot look beyond the undercoating.

before continuing on that car, please remove the old undercoating and do an inspection of the affected area, sanblast it and then recover it before its too late.

torque and HP will tear that tower apart..

ouch! sounds like a lot of the guys here on the forums are looking out for you. I've never seen rust like that before. These guys who are worning you about the rust know a thing or two about our cars. They have been here for many many years. Sucks to see your car falling apart like that

Posted by: Needles Aug 23, 2011 - 5:27 AM

thanks, nice to know i wont buy it

Get a new shell seriously. It will be the smartest thing you ever do. I'm from New York the Salt King State and I know first hand the impact rust has on a vehicle. You will be fighting that rust every time you work on that car. If the body looks like that you can believe every bolt is siezed beyond removal. That equals snapping bolts and spending hours drilling and retapping. I can gurantee when you go to replace brakes you will snap both bolts off in the calipers, that means drill and tap (pain) or new calipers. It will be much more economical to start looking for a clean shell now or face the numerious repair costs in the future. I know this hurts because its like your child, but its brain dead and on life support....pull the plug.

Posted by: stephen_lee Aug 23, 2011 - 9:02 AM

True words. Rust = cancer. you can replace a celica body, though. So do it before its too late.

Posted by: NYp8tBaller07 Aug 23, 2011 - 4:29 PM

Find a new body and swap. I realized my car is starting to rust so I'm just trying to keep it going for a few more years till I buy a 7thgen GT-S =D

Posted by: Needles Aug 23, 2011 - 6:24 PM

so everyone here gonna say scrap your car and find a new one for a 3 inch hole in the rear wing wheel created by the water and salt from the wheel,
tssssssssssssssssss

its a 2 hours job

at least stephen lee is right
but whit the tool i will use, its gonna be ok

Posted by: SupraKid Aug 23, 2011 - 8:30 PM

There is only one tool that can completely fix your problem..And that tool is a match.

Good luck man. We are just trying to share some of our experiences with you so you can avoid problems we have dealt with.

Posted by: NYp8tBaller07 Aug 23, 2011 - 9:07 PM

Not trying to say the car is crap or anything but I know how rust is and it sucks in everyway. If you can fix it then thats great but I would just look for another shell.

Posted by: stephen_lee Aug 24, 2011 - 8:14 AM

I mentioned using the needle gun so you will realize how much rust is under there you cant see, not as inspiration to fix it....

Posted by: Needles Aug 24, 2011 - 11:04 AM

thank for sharing experience and give suggestion, i will try to do the best job i can , if the shell is too much damage, ill find a new one.

Posted by: Needles Oct 8, 2011 - 2:18 PM

LONG TIME NO UPDATE BUT WHO CARES HAHAHA !

i change my steering wheel assembly today for the st205 one, (99.9% the same as the st204) the only difference is the nice soft clic sound of the light and flasher stick....lol

i did lost my oil pressure, so before try starting it again to check it out, i check the oil level and its was empty as hell !! so i put back at least 3 liter in the engine and hoping it was not dead, car start back whit a little tuff tuff and when perfect, and i see my oil pressure get up to 65 again, i was soo happy !! and then i saw a big drip of oil under the right wheel, checking it, and cannot see where it drop like a fountain when on, so i start it again and it was the f*** oil filter!! quaker states one i think, broken on the middle ....
tommorow, will be new front right caliper and new rubber for front right axle and i need the st205 engine mouth, but for now, i use a chain under the car to maintain the struggle of the faulty engine mouth.

Posted by: Culpable04 Oct 8, 2011 - 8:38 PM

I would LOVE to see pictures of this.

do you have relatives in the California ?

Posted by: Needles Oct 8, 2011 - 9:31 PM

its just a cheap strap from the crossmember to the front mouth, its help a bit when accelerating , so i wont ear the front axle sound grinding when the engine is too much way back on, when u go hard on accelerating ,

Posted by: mkernz22 Oct 8, 2011 - 9:42 PM

that is soo bad for the car....
how did it break in the first place?

Posted by: Needles Oct 8, 2011 - 9:55 PM

its a custom rear tranny mounth that dont do the job , i have custom mounth for the left one too, the front and the right side are 5sfe original mounth, so over time i realize that im sitting my engine lower than the other st205 that cause the grinding problem at accelerating happen , its a bad duo problem...

Aren't you supposed to make progress in a progression thread? It seems like everytime you run into a serious problem in this thread you are focused on something else. You really need to get your priorities in line before you kill yourself or someone else.

Posted by: Needles Oct 10, 2011 - 11:25 AM

you get your priorities in line, and i dont !thats all,
Im not gonna kill people wtf ? lol , i can work on all the part of my car i want, the most important is to keep it working,
the strap under the engine , just to retain a little bit the movement of the engine
and that hole in the rear wing , and now i will kill people !!!

i can work on any part i want since i have 98 civic for backup, and its more important to change the front caliper before everithing because its get a leak and i just shut the line off under the wheel whit vice-grip until new caliper.

Just so I understand this correctly. your brake broke so you did NOT drive the car because it was dangerous. Good call.
But your engine mount was busted, and so you strapped it up and still drove it? I'm just trying to make sure I understand exactly what happened here. I must give it to you though.... where I come from we have a few different terms for what this is... and you sir have perfected it. This might be one of the best "rigged" jobs I've seen in a while.

Posted by: Needles Oct 10, 2011 - 2:02 PM

, its simple,

I have 4 engine mouth bolt on, but its 2 5sfe and 2 custom, so im sitting lower and i have little loose in the rear mouth so it cause a grinding noise into the axle when hard accelerating, .. so to avoid that not completly, but a little bit, i have try to put this under my car to test it and feel what it happen when i accelerating whitout the grinding noise, im not driving it, and i will put 4 engine mouth from st205 i will buy soon,

Posted by: Neon90424 Oct 10, 2011 - 3:15 PM

I wish your english would progress as much as your car, out of the last 10 posts all I got was that your caliper had a hole in it and your engine mount is made out of duct tape

So lets see, you ran your engine low of 3 quarts of oil, your engine is held up by a towing strap, and your front right caliper is blocked off with vice grips. So when will you be putting your car in reverse on the freeway?

Yes I've had problems with my car. And when they arise, I fix them, I don't use Red Green Tactics and ratchet strap my motor in place, use vice grips to block my brake lines, or ignore them and continue to modify my car.
And yes, I know how many complications can come with swapping a car, when you don't do you research.
I also know that it can be done in a weekend with very little problems (and its been done numerous times in the recent past)
Sorry that I don't jump into things blindly like you did without doing any research.
But I'm sure after reading your thread, you could see why someone would want to do the research so they can be prepared and not have to deal with all the sh!t you have.

Posted by: NYp8tBaller07 Oct 12, 2011 - 2:50 PM

I would make those other two issues top priority when it comes to spending any money, as far as the electrical stuff it seems like you dont have to spend money on it so I guess tighty up that stuff is good in the mean time; is the back plate for the gauges white cardboard?

Posted by: Needles Oct 12, 2011 - 2:57 PM

yes, its the frame of the gauge, if i like it like that, i will fill it up whit mastic putty and give it a nice finish touch

Posted by: NYp8tBaller07 Oct 12, 2011 - 3:03 PM

hmm, I would think some diamond plating, that way it'll last forever. also you could paint it the same color as exterior; would look neat imo =p

Posted by: ricochet1490 Oct 12, 2011 - 3:13 PM

i didn't mind the CF. thought it looked alright. I know you were trying to go with the blue and yellow theme for the engine bay and other parts of the car, hence the yellow shifter as well, so maybe incorporate those colors into a design scheme for the gauge background. blue base with yellow tiger stripes or something I don't know haha.
but I would also fix the motor mount situation and the brake situation before doing any more aesthetic mods. imo some things are just...... well , just more important.

Posted by: NYp8tBaller07 Oct 12, 2011 - 3:35 PM

or being that your rims are gold you could go with a gold color to match. but yea get those two done first =)

one of the more interesting threads..



how ever i think there is some potential with that custom gauge pod thingy you got rigged up there. with some proper ideas and well.. common sense it could look pretty cool

Posted by: ricochet1490 Oct 12, 2011 - 11:32 PM

I'm not sure I could stand to lose my air vents.... BUT if he you incorporate some general slots to at least allow air flow and maybe have those "vents" just in and around the gauges.... could be awesome.

Here's a question. Why is your dash back light half blue led and half white led?

Posted by: Needles Oct 12, 2011 - 11:45 PM

first, i like it, its relax and sweet at night ,
but if you ask for the how to.. its two blue led and one white led (blue led are 9 led sided) i cut the plastic transparent to fit it the led there lol



thank, ill try to do my best on that , im not 100% sure for the yellow, but im gonna try it somehow

Its ur car bro, build it the way u want. I personally like the gauge set up because its unique n different. I wouldnt personally would keep that front bumper instead doing gt4 like everyone else. Did the front bumper come with the car already? If so, Id keep it also that bumper isnt cheap its value is $650 or 486.85 Euro. Deff worth keeping.

But if u still wanna get rid of it Id be happy to buy from u.

Posted by: Needles Oct 13, 2011 - 9:07 AM

lol, when i did buy the car , he had the original front bumper, the car was tottally original,
i buy that front from store who order it from CA , i did had to wait 2 month to get it and paid 520$ (CAN) (include shipping and taxe)
the bumper is listed as 188 $ a piece, and i dont want to get rid of it lol, i just want to transform the front grill to accomodate the gt4 hood
i love that front bumper so much too

I only bought the front n rear bumpers. I was gonna order the whole kit, but since my car came with perfectly fine 404 sides I figured Id keep em. I saved a lil bit of money and it would be stupid to throw away or get rid of a pair of sides that were in such good shape. Plus I think they flow nicely with the bumpers too. My bumpers were ordered from the Varis factory in Tokyo, and I think thats why I paid so much. $650 for the front n $650 for the rear. Hell my Bride seats were $1200 a piece.

that is expensive !!! i hope the seats feel good as they are pricey lol,
i did cannot afford pay soo much for seat, i did try to bypass the big cost by getting an old pair of recaro at jdm that was mess a bit but good and 20 year old , i deal them for 180 $ but they came from an mr2 and as the bracket is very different, i had to fix 3 of the 4 bolt and made it custom, adjust it, and at 6"4 i still fit tight in my car.

I understand cost and budget is a big deal. Try ebaymotors.com u can actually find alot of low-priced affordable parts there. Just gotta take the time to look.

I did spend quite a bit of money on my car. Reason being I figured this was my first project build from scratch n my first Celica ever. If I was gonna do it and grab peoples attention, I better do it big and right therefore money was no option. My goal was to build a unique sport/luxury/JDM/RHD Celica. Not a 205 or SSIII, just a Celica and I was gonna bring it back to the states. Well mission accomplished. Final project is putting in 3SGTE with respectible power. Once thats done the the project will offically be completed and I will start on the next one which is a VIP/Luxury/sport 6gc convertible.

you should AT LEAST weld those "extensions" to the frame of the seat. you made a "pivot" point basically & i wouldnt be surprised if the seat shifted or broke loose in a high G situation (wreck)

Posted by: Needles Oct 13, 2011 - 12:31 PM

yes, its can be dangerous, cause the pivot, welding the extention to the rail is a great ideas, and will be done soon

this... as a general question. Could the Recaro seat have been fit to the rails of his old seat?

had two issue whit the electronic setup:

when car is close and i want listen radio, the fuel pump start same time and its loud, so im gonna fix the wire to the acc1 who light up the clock before ,

issue 2,
when i blast the radio to max, the car doesnt start cause the fuel pump did not engage cause not enought voltage,
so i lower the radio and clic the starting switch again and its open the fuel pump,

that last one make me think of a systhem that can control the voltage of the fuel pump whit a dimmer lolol,
but that just one ideas for swapper for fuel economie and avoid the ugly noise from fuel pump whenm normal driving.
