First, has any one done this, or do they just go right to the 3s-gte?? also, gt tranny will bolt right up, but i was told, or read that it wont handle that much power?? its only 177 hp, an 150 trq? is that to the wheel or crank? also what else would i need besides gt engine mounts?? Thanks

also does any one know where else, i could locate, a harness an comp??

ok, i think im getting more woried and cunfused... your saying if i bought just a long block.. .. I bought the whole engine with everything attached, the full uncut harness, and the ecu... also the tranny is there an on.. the only problem is that i have an auto tranny, and my car is man,The reason im saying use a gt tranny is because, A. I know a guy i can get one from for really cheap, which means no looking finding spending crazy money, also no shipping.. also im going to get the mounts from him too.. your saying the ignitor and all, Im like 90% sure thats all there still on the engine.. Is there anything else, that you might say i would need that im missing... Thanks alot again

Ignitors aren't mounted on an engine or harness... and typically speaking, JDM engines when imported have cut harnesses. That's the problem with buying just a long block... finding all of the missing parts. Ignitors are probably unique only to those engines, and ignitors from other cars most likely won't work... unless of course you can cross-refrence with part numbers. However... if you happen to have bought one with an ignitor and wiring still complete... all that's needed to be modified is the body harness (all of the wiring under the dash) and modify the engine harness and re-pin the wires to match the ECU/sensors/plugs, etc...

As for the tranny... if it came with and auto tranny... you'll need a flywheel also. 3SGE flywheels aren't exactly easy to find either... but luckily... 3SGTE flywheels work the same... but then again, those aren't easy to find very cheap either. GT flywheels (5SFE flywheels) do NOT fit (but the GT tranny will). While on that subject... you'll need shift-linkages and drive axles from a GT also (I believe the splines on the hubs are the same). ST ones don't fit. As for the motor mounts... GT ones will work, assuming you mount them in the factory positions identical to a GT. There are more obstacles that will most likely pop up. I'm just stating the basic mechanical stuff that you'll need in order to just bolt the engine into the engine bay. Beyond that is wiring... and that's not my game... ;]
