3SGE Vs 3SGTE, What parts are compatible Options

[khye]

Hi Guys(and Gals),

I have been trying to find performance parts for my 3SGE, but there are not many parts out there...
But I notice that there are some parts which are interchangable between the 3SGTE and the 3SGE.
e.g. Fly Wheel, radiator hoses, pistons etc

Anyone have a list of the parts which can be interchanged?
It would open up a whole new world of available performance mods for the 3SGE if there are more parts that can be swapped.

Most catalogs list parts available for Celicas but for some reason the 94-99 3SGE seems to be skipped.
Every other type of Celica is listed.

Should I be looking at the 3SGTE section?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am getting more and more frustrated trying to find even the most basic of mods.

I am not really too sure about that dude!
The Jspec 3SGTE GT4 is 2.0, as is my 3SGE.

In Europe we are lucky enough to have the Japanese imported models, all of which are 2.0 litre
There are some 1.8litre celicas(GT-R) but they are the 5*** series engine and not the 3S***
I think you guys over in the US have the 2.2litre versions.

My best friend here has a 1996 GT4 2.0 (3SGTE)
Mine is the GT 2.0 (3SGE)

Looking at his engine compared to mine most of the parts look identical.
(Except of course for him, the lucky B****** who has a Turbo sitting on top.(and gearbox etc..)

But thanks, I think you are right, from what I have seen most of the parts should be interchangable.
I am just trying to compile a list of exactly what parts are the same.

The reason I started this thread was because I have ordered a new 1997 2.0 3SGTE engine transplant from Fensport over in the UK.

They want to swap out my 3SGE and swap in the new turbo one.

It is expensive, so I was wondering what parts I can keep.
Looking at the new engine, it looks like they are going to be putting in more or less the same parts as they are taking out, seems a bit of a waste of money since my engine is in perfect condition.

Am I making sense, (I am starting to confuse mydelf now )

Thanks!
