Swap: 3sge Beams into 94GT-RIP=DEAD Options

[turnip]

70mph and wall equals the devastation.













Good Day All.

I have some questions that i did not get from trolling and searchings. I hope that the some of the swap gurus can chime in.

Project: Swap 6gen JDM 3SGE Beams into 1994 USDM GT.
Goals: 200whp and reliability
Use: Race - Car will be completely gutted including all glass and prepped for racing.

Current setup is a stock 5SFE with 60k miles.
Transplanting 3SGE Beams and LSD S54 tranny. Yet to be procured. I have few I am looking at with money in hand.

Drivetrain - The 5SFE has an S54 on it and I assume that the axles and clutch will interchange?
Question#1 - Did any of the USDM Celicas with the S54 have stock LSD?
Question#2 - Flywheel and clutch upgrade? What are my options?

Electrical - Since its a same Gen Celica did the harnesses drastically change over the lifecycle of the 6th Gen? Pre Post OdbII?
Question#1 - Can someone confirm that the stock USDM harness will plug and play with the ECU and Beams? With exception to wires being lenghted to accomodate RHD vs LHD.
Question#2 - If my assumptions for one is complete off please guide me in the correct direction.
Question#3 - Dash Cluster - Racing I really do not care about speed as much as temps and RPM. I do not want to buy an JDM dash cluster is there a work around to make the stock one work? Otherwise will likely go the DEFI Link route.
Question#4 ODBII vs ODB1 The 94 is ODB1. The Beams will be ODBII Has anyone got this to work on a pre 96 vehicle? I only ask as ODB is a good way to check sensor failure vs the plug and play method.


Tuning
Goal of 200whp with Intake, Exhaust upgrade, no cat, no P/S, no A/C, Flywheel upgrade, ecu, ect.
Questions1 - Does anyone have experience with any of the JDM ECUs such as Mines, Toms, I.Mec, Blitz?
Question#2 - Headers any experience with C-One, Apexi, HKS, Fujitsubo?
Question#3 - Crank/Balancer Pulley.. Is there one?


Thanks in advance.

Can I assume that all of those cut wires come from the EA1 plug that is under the fuse box in the engine bay?

Those cut wire represent the beams harness lead that goes to the fuse box. It includes the ones going to the plug and to the front relays for ST/EFI/Alt-100amp/60Main.

I have identified all of the wire from harness to harness I believe based on colors. There are a few that are different.

- The black/yellow with silver rings from the 94gt harness looks to match up with the beams black/red with silver rings. EDIT *Confirmed*

Not Sure Wires on Beams
- solid black 16gauge EDIT *This wire is a larger gauge black with orange stripe on 94gt*
- black with red line 16 gauge EDIT *This wire seems to be extra and not on the 94GT*

94Gt Harness not matched
- black with orange stripe 12 gauge on plug EDIT *This wire is all black on the Beams harness*
- blue 7.5 SRS wire 18 gauge

Beam Plug - I do not have this.


Beams Harness lead to fuse box that was cut.


Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks
