4AGZE Swap into a 6th Gen Celica Options

[zipstrips]

well you posted kind of like "its been done and been done better" and that was a bit hating and the people saying the engine is ugly.. im just sayin.. this is a rare swap and we know tweak will do a good job, lets not clutter the thread up with heresay and cosmetic opinions

I'm just going to stop posting my stuff up. Pretty much every thread I've started recently has been hated on.

Dang Doc, you got right to work on that thing didn't ya?

Whoever's car that is, it's beautiful. I tried not to leave fingerprints while poking around it at Doc's shop. It's just soooooo clean.

Yeah, Ryan(FAQ) is the one I was speaking of in a previous post. Again, didn't mean disrespect, just repping to everyone else it's been done. I still don't know if his is 100%, but I think that's bc of the body work he's doing.

July 26th, 9am to 12pm, 8pm to 12am

Wiring...





July 27th, 9am to 5 pm

Installing the harness onto the engine...



Ready to go in.




July 28th, 9am to whenever I quit tonight

Today I spent most of the day running around getting a custom power steering hose made, custom a/c lines set up, and getting any parts I needed.

With the lift, installing the engine through the bottom is a cinch.



Two more Celicas are in line. The 6th gen is getting a 3SGTE and the 5th gen is getting a 3SGE BEAMS.



Installing the engine...

Dang Tweak, nice work. The black Celicas are all lining up to get the go-go treatment. Every time I see one of those wiring harnesses, I think "Better him than me; that looks like a PITA."

Nice.

[zipstrips]

i 2nd that, i still have to make sure my A/C works so i know the wireing is right. other than that its all good so far.

[jdg371]

what type of intercooler setup will it get?

Also how much a the harness cost for.. late model GZE to a 97 ST

[Dr_Tweak]

It's getting a front-mount intercooler.

I'd charge $400 for that conversion, it's a bit more of a pain in butt than most harnesses.

Did I do your harness?

Update, I just cranked up the engine and it started right up on the first try! VROOOM!!!!

Very cool.

[Fastbird]

The man wastes no time!! Rock on Doc.

[presure2]

good job man, looks like your getting better and better at these swaps!

[H8DC3lica94]

I cant bowdown enough!

Please Dr. TweaK! get mine working!
I should fly you out here and get my damn thing to work. Or tow my car there.
which ever is cheaper...

its been so long since ive been on this forum. to tell the truth i hate going here cuz my car just sits there and dont get any work done.

[Dr_Tweak]

Actually you should just ship it over here, it's not all that expensive.

It must be really nice to have such passion about what you do... or am I assuming too much? It looks like you really enjoy your work.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Doc Tweak r0x0rs my b0x0rz.


Great job with all these swaps, I really admire the work you've done and you continue to 1-up yourself each time. Keep it up!!

[Dr_Tweak]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I have some more pics that I haven't uploaded yet, I'll add them tomorrow. I've road tested the car and it runs great! I just needs to go to the exhaust shop and get a couple of custom a/c lines installed.

No you're pretty much right, I actually loose sight of that from too much stress, which is a mistake. I DID get into this because I love doing swaps and tuning engines, and sometimes I forget that!

In fact, that's probably 1/2 the reason I post this stuff up, because showing my work and getting feedback on it often inspires me to keep it up.
