Ok I have been reading alot about this site and searching on search engines and here is some questions I have came up with:
1. "a cheaper alternative for the ECU/Wiring situation would be to use your stock ECU to control chassis electrical functions, and an aftermarket standalone engine management system to run the engine. A new Haltech could run you $1000 to do this. A Wolf, maybe $750. Also, this will eliminate the need for some of those expensive sensors like AFM". Does this eliminate all the rewiring? How hard are these stand alone systems to hook up? Will I not need a new wiring harness and all that anymore? 2. "stock exhaust wont bolt up to the 3S engine, so you will need a custom exhaust which accomadates the new engine." Is this just a simple case of lining up a new pipe or does it all have to be replaced? I know I will be going to like 2.5" piping eventually but for right after the swap Im talking? So my shopping list for the basic swap would be, the complete engine which I already have a source for, a standalone system, and all the little things like gaskets, belts, and fluids, which Im sure I just get at toyota. |

hey man, its only 2500 but thats in US currency, its more like 3600 CND, but yeah definately go with the front clip, thats what im planning on doing, but im still researching the swap, theres a couple little things i want to work out first the front clip helps with the wiring as long as u get a left hand dirve clip, if u get the RHD front clip, u might have some problems, but depedning on what gen of 3SGTE you want to get this can be solved, or even avoided. as for the wiring...if you dont know how to do it, pay for it, its worth the money to have it done by a pro. good luck with the swap |
