6G Celicas Forums

HI everyone,
my 5sfe has been dead for while. It can start up and run a little but mechanics told me I need a new engine. My tranny is still good. Does anyone know what kind of engine/year fit directly into my tranny with no mods.(i.e 5gc 5sfe 3sfe) I am trying to find a new engine that does not need many mods to fit. plz help if anyone has a motor that they know would fit or where i could get one, its pretty hard finding engines here in hawaii. THankx

try talking to the mechanic who will be putting in your new motor.

any year 5sfe will work, but a 94-95 would be perfect swap over. on a 96-99 you have to swap out the distributor (to go back to obd1) and some crappy egr sensor. reallly easy to do, just keep your stock wiring harness and ecu.

and an O2 sensor (2 wire/3 wire)

oh yeah..forgot we had to do that...lol fun times!

ook i found a 94 celica motor but i am not sure if it is a st or gt will it matter? can a 94 st motor fit nicely on the 95 5sfe manual trans? and does it matter if the old trans was an automatic. Thanks for the reply

a st motor will NOT fit on a gt tranny.

the engine does not matter whether it is automatic or manual.

now the time to move up to a 3sgte/3sge if u have the money and the balls...engine will cost bout the same if not a little more than a 5sfe but the wiring will be the hard part otherwise it will bolt up to the 5sfe tranny and give u tons of power

I think the 3sgte will be a bit to much work because there seems to be alot more work u have to put into it and we are installing the motor our selfes . I just found a 5s-fe motor for sale from a 94 gt for $585 is this a good deal? Its used though

yea thats an ok deal go ahead

how many miles ???

the engine has 59,040 its from a junk yard. they said they tested it and it runs good thanks for all ur input everyone. so everyone is sure the 94 5sfe willl fit directly into the 95 manual 5sfe trans. what parts do i need to change etc.. if anyone knows the exact way to pull and engine and replace it please post

thanks batman, when i get the new engine and its from an automatic do i need to lyk change the clutch from my old engine? sry i dont know too much about cars thanks !! what parts do i need to salavge and what do i throw away. if u need anything from my old engine ill be happy to give it to u for free just pay shipping

nine, i shure hope you have a friend or someone who knows what they are doing cause you seem kind of green on all this.

fly me and the wifey out to hawaii for a week and i can drop it in for ya .... in 4 hours... then we can go cruisin the rest of the week.

just remember to put everything back the same way it came out.
it is really just unbolting the old and bolting in the new.
you will be able to see what needs to be done when you get your hands in there.

hint... take the bumper, fenders, radiator out cause they just get in the way and you dont want to ruin anything!
hint2... engine comes out easiest if you tilt the tranny toward the back of the driver side engine bay, and have the crank pulley toward the front of the car then lift it out.
(tilt/lower the tranny side a few inches lower that the other engine side when lifting it out)
hint3...getting the axles to pop out ( if you get stuck... pop the boot off and remove em)

p.s. or you can have me do it for free... fly me out there!
