Fresh & New, 3s-gte E153 Manual swap Options

[timdog1720]

Hey guy's plenty to "Bump". Lets start as the topic tile says Fresh and New on the topic of 3s-gte and E153 tranny swap....

Yea I know the trend is to say, " go read the forums" but lets be honest all of them are old and outdated info. (2002-2008) Its now 2011 need new posting for those of us that have just gotten into the 6g games. Also tho, it seems as if there is allot of conflicting forums out there. Has anyone actually (the old school guys), tried to erase your minds and look at it from a newbie prospective..........? Let me tell you that stuff gets really confusing everyone’s opinion on every thing but never a definitive answer, yet even more confusing.


So I said that to say this Lets start fresh and new for the newbies like myself and see if we can actually educate people instead of sending them off to old blogs because you’re either lazy too answer or just really selfish with your knowledge. Come on guys we suppose to brothers in this little union club, which I think is pretty awesome for a dying generation of automobiles. And this applies to all subjects’ not just 3sgte e153 swaps....................................

No one is withholding information. Its just that it gets a little old typing the same thing over and over again every time someone new sings up on the forums and decides they want to day dream about a swap. All of the swap info is well documented and more detailed than any single post reply can give you.

There is really not much to even tell.
If you want a 3sgte, buy a 3rd gen from an st205, bolt it in, and rewire the fuel pump circuit to make the car run.
If you want an e153, buy one from an mr2, solara, etc.., bolt it in and make hybrid axles with a spacer for it because that trans was never meant to be used in our car. Oh and youll need st205 shifter cables and rear motor mount for it.

Now how many times do we all have to type this out?
