dang i didnt know there was such an intrest.
the swap is like 95% done. wiring is the only thing left and that should be done next week or so. so hopefully ill get to drive my 3sgte celica very soon. after the car is running im going to figure out the intercooler piping and install my blow off and boost gauges. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

the project is costing me around 4-5,000$....but part of that cost includes toys like FMIC, HKS blowoff, gauges, etc.. and i didnt realy sell anything from my clip yet or my 5sfe.
well i tired the wiring and got stuck on a few things. i ended up having a good friend of mine help me with my harness. he is working on it right now and im waiting to hear back from him. i drilled a new hole right behind the ecu in the firewall, so the wiring will have a drirect path into the car and shouldnt need extending. i still plan on trying to figure out all the wiring and posting as much info as i can about it, so that others will not be at the mercy of shady wanna be electricians. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
