2grfe in a celica st204, Yes! Believe it or not. Options

[njccmd2002]

hi guys, well i swapped a beams in my celi and its loads of fun, but of course parts are rare, and problematic to fix.

Just to give you an idea, the gasket set is 400 usd, so i dont even think of popping it open.

But 95CelicaST got me inspirated about the V6, and face it 270 is appealing, and parts are galore here...

Well i know the 3sgte is the bomb, the Beams is great. But why cant we play with our stuff here.

Maybe start a shopping list, like the exact parts needed... IDK, its something only 2 6gc owners have explored..

Shopping list edited so far: This is from multiple websites, i will basically edit as i go along... keep info here... most info was obtained from GUOKY's research

edited 6-14-2014 what i have done for me....

- 2GRFE engine from a 2010 highlander with oil cooler (newer oil lines)(its a 5plug ECU harness, that will be discarded)
- ECU from an non immobilized RAV 4 must bee a 2 plug. (this is the most simple ecu)
- OBDII connector. (Located at the driver's knees, get it from your car. if you are obdII
- Engine harness, i went with a ES350 engine harness, it has the plugs i needed its a 2 plugs
- E153 transmission (s54 will work, but you need to know you cant really hit it..)

stuff you dont want to mess with
- A five ECU plug (hard to get the extra 2 plugs from the dash harness, or you buy them for 160 from Guoky, plus the only way to get them immobilized is to get them new from dealer)
- Immobilizer computer (you dont want to mess with this) toyota will make you spin in circles
- Immobilizer antenna and key. (only if you mess with the above, lol)
- avalon ECU, camry or any other ecu ( may have other functions you dont need, or need to wire, and will give you headaches)
