Ok guys so after about 1 and a half years of researching and saving money i now have enough knowlegde and money to complete my swap. I will cover everything i go through during my process of making my car 3sgte powered. Tomorrow (Tuesday July 11) is when i am going to buy my ST185 front clip from a company nearby. I will take many pictures and write many times to kep you guys posted. I would like to thank everyone who has done a write up on thier previous 3SGTE swap, this information was golden in helping me know what it takes and how to correctly do a 3SGTE swap. Hopefully i can have everything done by the end of july. I am getting a good friend of mine to help me complete the swap. If anyone nearby the area wants to come check out the action PM me. My fingers are crossed that everything will work fine. I have compression numbers on the clip and leakdown %, I also have pictures of what the clip looks like.
I have a 1995 Toyota Celica GT White Hatchback 2.2L DOHC So here are the pics of my car as it sits now...    Here are some pictures of the clip im going to be getting... ST185 3SGTE front clip     Wish me luck guys!!!

QUOTE(CelicaGT04 @ Jul 15, 2006 - 2:24 PM) [snapback]456524[/snapback] Im not sure on how to check that. They did not specify when i bought the motor. How would i check? I can tell you that teh wiring harness that is cut on the motor is on the right side of the throttle body if you are looking at the engine from the front. i would NEVER buy a motor with a cut harness. your going to end up spending as much if not more then the clip cost you in the end trying to get all your parts. luckly, manny is parting out a 3s, so give him a ton of cash and he will save your but and make sure you have everything to make the motor run.  your turbo looks like a USDM one to me. you can also check to see if you have an EGR on the motor. if it is in fact USDM, you might also want to buy a JDM ecu from manny. thats a 20whp gain, just from that ecu .
