3s-gte in canada, were to get and what i need Options

[UpityCracker]

hey guys i think this is my first post. I currently have a 93 mx-3 GS, Im looking to sell it and get a 94-99 celica GT. So I have been researching the swap options and the 3s-gte looks to be the most practical swap. So anyways I have a few questions, does anyone have some good distributors of the 3s-gte in Canada or near the border? and also does that engine come from a AWD car? will I have to convert anything to fit it in? is it the same series asthe stock GT engine? are any of the parts interchangable?

PS I did do some searching and didnt find much to answer my questions.

Thanks alot,
Tim Dawson

Hello there. Well, first off, if you haven't been to the feasible engine swaps post by Coomer, do so now. It can be found here. On that post, there is info about the 3S-GTE and down at the bottom there are links. If you contact Jarco, you can get a front and rear clip for around 5,000 shipped, which is a steal in my opinion. You'll need the front AND rear clip in order to make your car AWD. Anyhow, I don't think the parts for the 5S-FE and the 3S-GTE. Also, since the MR-2 had the 3S-GTE, you should be able to find pleanty of parts for your car without having to ship them from Japan or Europe. I hope this helps some, and if I slipped up somewhere and said the wrong thing, someone correct me. Thanks.

awesome thanks alot man, ya that answered my questions, i did look at the feasable swaps section, thats were i found out about the 3s-gte. But ya it sounds a little to pricey for me. Thanks for the help man.

No problem man. By the way, if the 3S-GTE is too expensive, maybe you should look into the 3S-GE, the non-turbo version. It's a thought.

thanks for the info man, ill look into it, since i have no shop connections for putting the engine in my car i have to consider the cost of having it put it which sucks

actually uptiy, you could get a front clip off a jdm mx-6 V6, it would fit nicely into your car and make it a nice sleeper. I can't remember off hand if it is turbocharged or not, but it has a nice amount of umfph to it. But its your choice, and good luck.

Hey buddy where are you in Ontario? I'm in Toronto. I know this shop that will import the whole under hood part of a car from Japan to do your swap. The dude is Japanese so he has some good hookups.
