Well I was thinking about going the supra or rx7 route for my next car but I came to the conclusion that I want more of an everyday car BUT it would have to be swapped for sure, I got a taste of speed with my mr2t and wont settle for anything less.

So anyways I was just looking around at engines and clips to get an idea of what I can expect and saw this on venus auto. They are asking 1500+ shipping, is that pretty cheap or average?

They also have 2 2t215 clips in stock! biggrin.gif

the clip gives you just about everthing, but as youll find out, there are many little parts that you will need/want.

you will want to replace timing belt, tensioner, and all the other betls.

doing the water pump is a good idea too.

new spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

walbro 255 hight pressure fuel pump for the NA supra.

clutch, throwout bearing and alignment tool for the 5sfe, with a pressure plate for the 3sgte.

intercooler, piping and blow off.

you will probably want some boost gagues and a pillar.

tools, lots of jack stands, fluids, etc


as for the wiring, that is a big gray area. for some reason, everyone that has done their wiring dosnt like to share info with the rest of the comunity. i highly recomend buying 2 electrical books from toyota. one for the alltrac and one for your car.

Ya as far as the belts and what not thats a given. Im planning on doing the gt4 front end conversion before the swap, so I wont need alot of that stuff like a front mount intercooler. Boost gauges and ebc's are also stuff Id just add down the road. I figure for the cost of the front end conversin it will cancel out the cost of the fmic. Probably a bit more but worth it too me. Im not looking for ass loads of power off the bat, just someting to rival the speed of my old car.

As far as wiring goes I think Id just send it off to mike. Im kinda ignorant in that subject, will I be sending the wiring harness from the clip and my celica? Are they hard to take off?
