Another Swap Question?, Need some info on exact parts Options

[sapperk]

Ive decided im doing the swap... Ive reasearched so much and the confusing part to me is. What engine will fit in my 1996 GT.

These are some that i found...

-97 Toyota-celica st205 3s-gte complete motor + 5spd-4wd m/t + wire harness + non ecu (big turbo) (motor set) 245hp

-94 Toyota-Celica ST185 3S-gte complete motor + 5spd-m/t + ecu + wire harness (motor set) 225hp us$ + shipping

-87-90 toyota-celica ta63 3t-gte+5spmt (complete motor, + ecu + wire harness ) (monthly special

Those are 3 choices i found so far. VenusAuto.. Any info is needed i want to purchase stuff this weekend..

Thank you

I'd go with 3rd gen. The engines all share the same "Essential" parts, such as waterpump, timing belt, gaskets, etc... The Only major differences is the intercooler, turbo, and ECU (MAP)...

Here is a list of differences:

- MAP sensor instead of AFM
- Bosch D-Jetronic (Gen III) vs. L-Jetronic (relatively primitive) engine management
- CT20b turbo replaces CT26
- Boost raised from 10psi to 13psi
- Fuel cut raised from 12 psi to 18 psi
- Different ECU
- 4 wire O2 sensor
- Shim under bucket valve shims
- slightly more aggressive cams
- Revised internals (pistons, con-rods etc.)
- Revised cylinder head cooling passages/water jackets
- Revised intake manifold (8 'independent long ports' reduced to 4)
- intake manifold inlet air temperature sensor added. i.e. after turbo and intercooler.
- lower compression ratio
- stainless steel head gasket
- factory 540cc injectors replace 440cc injectors
- revised fuel rail with bigger bore and relocated pressure regulator
- TVIS eliminated
- EGR eliminated
- throttle body increased from 55mm to 60mm
- inlet valve lift increased from 8.2 to 8.7
- intake manifold inlet air temperature sensor added
- Less restrictive exhaust elbow
- Aluminum oil pan
- more rigid alloy sump and additional oil baffles
- Factory Catch can
- Better Oil Cooler and relocated oil filter (bottom)
- 4 Channel ABS coupled with Traction Control available
- No. 1 compression ring described as 'stainless steel' instead of just 'steel'. Oil ring is described as 'stainless steel' instead of 'a combination of steel and stainless steel'.
- The fuel pressure raised from 36 PSI (2.55 bar) to 41 PSI (2.9bar)
- air to air intercooler is replaced with air to water intercooler.
