ok this is whats going on. i have a 3sgte st215 head for sale a 3sgte st215 wireharness fully converted for your 6gen celi 94-99 and a 3sgte st215 ecu. PEOPLE this is a drop in plug and play kit the wire harness has already been converted by dr tweak................ so i know you all what to know the price here's how it comes down..... i paid a 1000+ for my harness. now before yall are like no u didn't. yes i did i had to buy my caldina wire harness from tweak for 500 dollars then i had to pay him to convert it for me. so i spent over a 1000+ dollars doing this i have only had this set up for a month.... the head ive put maybe 400 miles on it i drove it from dallas to houston with no prob at all and have been driving it around town a little bit it works fine.. it had between 40k and 50k when i bought it. i bought the whole engine i am only selling the head it does not come with the ct20b turbo or the intake manny......it will come with everything else tho c.o.p ... cam's..etc.......... so i want to sell this as a package.. 1000 for the harness im losing money on that... 400 for the head and 500 for the ecu...... if you buy everything all together ill pay for shipping i really dont want to sell it one by one i want to sell it all as a whole............ if it comes down to it i might think about sell them one by one..... let me know what you think........................... ONCE AGAIN IF YOU DONT WANT TO BUY IT OR IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING NOT POSTIVE TO SAY PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS THANK YOU

I can offer the full st215 swap(engine,tranny,harness,ecu,ect.) for the exact same price your asking for just the harness, i suggest you lower your prices

good point, but my harness is already converted plug and play... this is really for people with a 3rdgen engine that wants a 4gen head... and as you know if u buy the head you have to buy a wire harness to and a ecu... and if you buy a wireharness like i did and have it converted you will be paying over a 1000 dollars if u can find a converted st215 wireharness plug and play for less show me because i will buy it... the head imm losing money the c.o.p's i can sell those for 50 each which is 200 dollars and i can sell the cam's for 100 as a pair and then turn around and sell the head for 200 or 250 the ecu if you can even find a 4gen ecu by its self its going to be high. most importers wont sell just the ecu you have to buy the whole engine....... i think the price is fair.... and if no one wants to believe me call dr tweak and ask him or cam how much it would be if you buy a st215 harness from them and have it made plug and play.... and its different when you are buying a package deal 3s engine from any importer. even if i wanted to buy a 3rd gen head and a plug and play harness for the 3rd gen i would be looking to spend the same maybe a little less........ but like i said if it comes down to it ill sell them one by one but the harness is going to stay 1000 no matter what is plug and play everything works you cant beat that..........


you have to think about it. when we break these engines down and sell them part by part. they are worth more then what u will pay for it at a importer. i can sell my ct20b turbo for 400 500 dollars. the ecu for 500. the hard to find 4gen intake manny for 400 or 600. the block for 300 or 400 and the wireharness for 400 ir 500............ if you total that up right there thats really just a little more than what most importer sell there 3sgte st215 engines for. and most of the caldina's come with all wheel drive auto transmissions that nobody uses.... the 3sgte st215 u see for less than 1500 there that price because they have had the engine for ever and just want to get rid of it.....


and if my price is to high. sell me your st215 head the whole head cam's, c.o.p's everything the wire harness and the ecu for 400 dollars... would you do that ?

Your acting like there is a huge market for random 3sgte parts..There isn't. If you actually could sell every piece then yes you might make a few more bucks, but you wont sell every part. The st205 engine swap has been proven time and time again to be the much better option, not just in cost, but in overall performance as well.


Also if you buy an engine with a harness, tweaks cost would be only around 500-700$ to convert it, and if you knew what you were doing or did some research you could do it yourself.

yes you are right. but as you just said my good friend tweak would charge 500-700 to convert it. ok thats just to convert it now what if u had to buy a wireharness from him to which he sells for 500 bucks.. your looking at 1200+ shipping. and yes the st205 does have better performance but the st215 head is better.. the bad about the st215 is the piston's and rod's are weaker.. but then again no one has really taking a st215 engine and really put some beef in it to see what it can really do everyone is to scared of the wire harness. but yes there is a huge market for 3sgte engine parts... you have to remember this engine is used by other car's, mr2's, celica's 6 and 7gen, corolla's, etc... every one is always looking for parts. what there isn't a huge market for is awhole 3sgte engine. people already have the engine they just either want a upgrade parts from another 3s engine, or they broke something and need to replace a part. i bet my good friend if i sell my parts... part by part, ill sell them before you sell that pretty 3sgte st215 engine you got.. i see people all the time looking for a 3s head. but never see anyone really looking for a block.. im not in a rush to sell these parts this car is not my every day car, but in time i know i will sell this stuff
