3sgte, JDM swap Options

[Bladey]

Hello all, i have been reading your forum quite a while now and love it, and what a car the celica is

i have a 1996 st202 3sge 5 speed manual currently and would been keen to do a 3sgte swap, i have a few questions of corse and ive researched a lot but most of the swaps are american and hence are quite different ( engine, LHD, clutch, wiring) etc

So i have access to a 3sgte from a st185 or sw20 mr2 for quite cheap (being in NZ has its advantages)

if i get one of these engines how hard is it to put in? will i need to do the hybrid clutch set up as i have read about? will the ecu and wiring be quite difficult and how hard is it to make it a front mount intercooler? as getting a gt4 hood is almost impossible and if so 700 bucks is far to much imo

Any other things i may have to worry about?

cheers guys

the brakes are up to your certifers opinion so best to get in touch with a certifer who can cert engine conversions. Since you already have adjustable coilovers, you've already undergone a cert... haven't you

Gen 2 uses AFM/MAF (same thing)

and I've pm'ed you regarding the rear strutbrace.
