6G Celicas Forums

Fixed.

I just thought that maybe you should PM Lagos and see if he can dig you up a part number so that you might be able to match ECUs.... All else fails, pick up another one...

yeah google the part number on the ecu. it should tell you what engine it came off of... btw dont you have TWO 3sge ecus? swap them out.

whats the part number of the ecu?

Only one 3S-GE ECU. My Redtop didn't come with an ECU or tranny. I need to get on the BEAMS Owners Group and research that Greytop ECU. I read that it works fine with the Redtop, but I need to know if there's any work required to make it work. There's a 5th plug on the ECU that the Redtop harness doesn't have. Either way, I'm going to spend tomorrow and Sunday dissecting that wiring harness and looking for any cut/broken wires. I wired the fuel pump up directly to power and made sure it was sending fuel yesterday and that got me nowhere. Whatever issue I have has to be in the wiring or in the ECU, and I'm confident that I made all the right splices in the right places and that the splices are good connections.

Here's the ECU I'm using.



Edit: This just got a little better. Clicky.

"Your search - toyota 112200-5340 - did not match any documents."


THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!I'M SO GLAD IT GOT BETTER!!!

Wow... Good call. Problems solved. I didn't do a search on Google for just the part number, only "TOYOTA (part number.)" That's why I couldn't find it. Well.... I'm pissed and relieved at the same time. That seller on Ebay is going to get an angry email.

Well, I'm relieved to at least know the source of the problem. Now, to find a Redtop ECU... I've only been looking since, you know, the start of May. Still haven't found one.

well im glad i sorted you out and im new to celicas! but man sometimes people just dont know wtf there doing(not you by any means), so did the correct harness come with the engine and some how it plugged into a suby ecu? if so that would be very weird. but hey atleast you wont be getting frustrated and trying to fix things that aint broke!

Toyota does own a large part of Subaru so I can see how they might share plugs. I can see where the seller might have thought he was sending the right ECU because it happened to plug right in. Still, he sent the wrong ECU and he owes me the right one. But thanks for finding that for me. I just did a search for the Toyota part number and I was completely baffled when Google got no results. There aren't many results when you do a search for the Subaru part number, but there are results nonetheless.

I found a B pipe with the O2 sensor I was missing on Ebay today. So here I am, $200 later, but I would have easily spent that and more at an exhaust shop and after I bought a new O2 sensor. Well worth the extra expense. Still no solid leads on an ECU, but at there are a few people that are being supremely helpful. Update for the day, I filled the tranny up with gear oil and put all 4 wheels back on the ground. Relocated the battery to the trunk and did it a little more professionally this time, since it's somebody else's car. I also installed my GT4 rear strut brace and the front strut brace from my gray Celica. After I get this thing started, I'm talking to the girlfriend about dropping her old 5S in my gray Celica. The Greytop will eventually go in, but needless to say I'm going to be a little more prepared for that swap. Updates are useless without pictures, so...


Anybody know of something good to get that pink ink off of the strut bar? I tried Goo Gone, Windex, and hot water.



Also, for anyone interested, I'm only into this Redtop for $1,525. Of course, there will be added expenses later after I do the timing belt, water pump, plugs, things like that, but for right now, I'd say $1,500 for a Redtop swap isn't bad. Time to find out how much damage that ECU will do to my wallet.

Paint.

I want to be on speaker phone with you when you take that thing out for the first time....

pink stuff would be from a paint marker, you can try some paint thinner but i would test it in a hidden area first,i doubt it will mess with the paint they use (probly epoxy paint) but just incase im wrong try in a hidden area to see if it effects base paint if not try it on the pink paint, if that fails you can always wetsand then polish it out or maybe even use rubbing compound(i used it to remove the remains of glue from debadging)

I got my valve from the seller until he did it right. Id pick up the phone and harrass the hell out of him.

I was already sent a flywheel for a Blacktop that the seller refuses to take back and refund me for. Says he doesn't do refunds for "parts that don't fit." Well, I'm sorry but if your ad says "Celica ST202 VVT" that implies Redtop BEAMS. Granted, it didn't explicitly say it, but that's a Redtop, not a GXE10 Altezza Blacktop. So there goes $424 that the jacka$$ won't give back. Now this guy sends me the wrong ECU and won't answer my emails... I wanted to sell it but most of the Scooby ECU's I see on Ebay have an immobilizer so they are all being sold with a key and ignition barrel. Plus I can't find a single one of these ECU's anywhere else, so it isn't a popular ECU. It isn't likely that I'll be able to resell it. Now Nengun has lost $450 somewhere between their account and my bank account.. Fantastic. Gotta love when stupid crap goes wrong, huh? Between these three things, I'm looking at $1,239 gone for absolutely no reason at all. At least vincent_doggy has an ECU for me, and the b pipe should be here soon. Oh well, I guess. At least the car should be started and running by this time next week.

Flywheel u can sell, the lost money u can recoup, the ecu well thats crap. Lessons learned. When i called for my swap i emailed back and forth and got evrything in writing. 1750 to my house. Of course i am close to him. Hope you overcome this issues. Go to mr2.com to sell and buy parts.....

Yay! I can't WAIT until my car is done.

i know how you feel lol

Wow, she posted! I didn't think you'd do it, considering the last few pages of this thread have been about your car. I love how your BEAMS hasn't even started yet and you, like everyone else with a BEAMS, already have a BEAMS logo in your avatar. Your ECU will be here this week and then we'll get it running. Then I'll drive it around for a month or two, then you can have it back. Or you can keep the IS. Whatever.

(She can keep the IS. )
