Hi Guys & Girls
I am kinda new to this forum, but have been using it for advice over the years. I have an issue that would be nice to get some clarification before I go ahead with my swap. Basically, I have a 99 Rav4 with a 3SFE engine. The engine is damaged so I want to replace it as soon as possible. On the other hand, I have a 95 st202 3SGE Engine. I know that the engine will fit pretty easily, however, my question is to do with the wiring. Is there any way that I can reuse the wiring loom from the Rav4 on the 3sge engine as they are pretty similar. I know that I would need to use the 3sge ecu Thanks for any help on this |

to be honest, its not a worthwhile swap
if you successfully complete the swap, the drive will be exactly the same except for a boost in power at 6000-7000rpm, and if you dont get all the ACIS wiring and solenoids hooked up properly those revs will just rev out flat. the 3sge engine is good in a little sports car where you thrash it around at the rev limiter, its a peaky engine that does all its magic towards the redline. do you really want to drive around town wringing the neck off a rav4? the most logical choice is either one of the st205 or st215 3sgtes -------------------- Mike W

This will be a little play thing that I might take off road. The n/a too me will be a fun little thing. Also for the price that I paid for the 6th gen, It would be a shame for it to go to waste |
