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 (DEATH @ Oct 21, 2008 - 9:35 AM)  QUOTE (CelicaGT04 @ Oct 21, 2008 - 10:23 AM) I would even let you drive ( just dont bash) haha!  You say that now  Good luck - LMK if you need pics of anything, hose routing etc. HAHA, yeah im probably talking out of my ARSE!! lol. Most likely i will need pics of hose routing, especially since most of mine were cut! Anyways, i have a small update and i will try to get pictures up tomorrow or the next day of the progress. But we have successfully honed out the block and replaced old pistons with new. Next weekend the head is coming apart to make sure all this hard work wont be for nothing!
