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.

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.

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

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.)

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

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?

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.

lmao^

but searchsearchsearchsearchsearch!

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.

LOL high five sir

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, ^?

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.
