doing a 3S-GTE swap Options

[Smaay]

Ok i have been reading all the threads and I have a few questions for Dustin and others that have done this.

in Bsamps4 thread he says the fuel pump relay is in this box,


in the GT the fuel pump relay is also the Circuit opening relay which is mounted on the ECU. so what do I need to use?


also it seems like I have to pull pins from the EA1 on the GT chassis side? or do I just have to add pins to it to support the 3S-GTE EA1 engine side plug?

would it be easier to do the harness like I do the 1MZ swap. take both harness' apart and morph them into 1 good harness

Tore the engine apart, its a good thing I did. the rod bearings showed serious wear. This is exactly why I dont support JDM engines, you never know what you are going to get. You spend more money tearing it down and rebuilding it with new parts.

the bearings on the left were under the rod, the right were under the rod cap. this is a sign of poor oil changes, more than factory boost, or detonation. I replaced all the bearings with ACL.





Im doing a build thread much like the 7A-FE build i wrote. step by step building a 3S-GTE.. it will have its own thread.
