Engine swap Questions Options

[Quante]

Lo all,

I drive an AT200 and wanna put in a 3S-GE engine.
I found a shop near my place that apparantly does these kind of things but I got a few questions that I wanna ask u guys and the compare answers with what they say.

First of all, they say they can use the AT200's tranny with minor adjustments, they even recommended it because the gears were shorter ( more acceleration).
Can the tranny and coupling handle the power or not??

They were gonna keep the old ECU and put in some Computer of they're own to bypass the engine things. Anyone ever heard of this, will this keep the 7AFE's rpm limiter?? I sure hope not.

Are there other things I should be concerned about and need to ask them, like exhaust, axles, suspension, ...

I know there are a lot of posts about engine swaps, but I never found the answers to these questions.

AT200 - ST, I dont kno if you would WANT to use that tranny - its not very durable and with a 3sge ur going to be pushing alot more power. You should go and get the 3sge tranny also, then they will both bolt up and even if you decide you wanna add even more power, it'll handle it.

The computer they're talking about is probably a complete engine controll system which you CAN do, however. They're about $1,000 and you still gotta pay to install it. Im unsure about the limiters but most likely they wont exist.

Axles are definately important, if you have to much power your going to bend them. I cant see the AT200 being able to handle all this power, and again, i'd recommend 3sge axles. Suspension you dont need to do ne thing with and the exhaust you'll probably need, if not want, to enlarge it, with aftermarket exhaust.
