3SGE Engine Swap - Help!?, New question regarding clutches... see last post. Options

[KAOS]

I recently came across a new 3rd Gen 3SGE for my GT-S. The price was right.

Now I'm sure I'm going to have a plethora of questions about the swap from now until completion, and the forums here so far are a little dry on swap information on a 3SGE... so I wanted to start this thread in hopes that one day the question(s) I ask would be of some use to new members attempting the same swap.

The sale included a 3SGE from a '96 ST202 w/ 98K on it (or so I'm told); a full uncut wiring harness & 3SGE ECU. The axels were chopped off prior to shipping. The engine itself was either cleaned prior to being sold to the guy I bought it from, or it was never abused... I'm hoping for the latter. Regardless, while its out of the engine bay I have every intention of doing some minor upgrades & major maintenance so I won't need to worry about it for a while once its installed and running.

My first set of question(s):

Where can I get quality parts for the 3SGE (OEM & Aftermarket) in North America?

Will the axels from a 5SFE work on the 3SGE Transmission?

Will the 3SGE bolt up to the 5SFE engine mounts?

Will the 5SFE shift cables work with the 3SGE?

Will I need a speedo from a 3SGE - or will the one I currently have work properly? (I have aftermarket tach - I'm more concerned with the km/h dial)

... that should be enough for now.

I might retract previous statement, about parts in North America, there is a bit of interchangeability with the ST204, MR2's etc. such as the cp pistons, eagle rods.


what parts are specifically looking at/for?


camshafts.

Jun Cams
HKS cams or HKS cams

Cat Cams
Piper Cams
CamTech Cams
Franklin Cams
Kelford Cams imo the best out of this group of 5


ECU's standalone/piggyback's

link (G4 storm and atom), megasquirt, mapecu 1/2/3, greddy emanage blue/ultimate, helltech, motech, tom's tec II, c-one power ecu, HKS F-con, blitz access, apexi safc/ powerfc, superchip (UK people seem to use this quite alot) the trick is then trying to find dealers/sites who sell/stock these parts


fensports ST202 Celica, not sure about toda as they mainly do SXE10 and Gen 1 3sge stuff


the factory flywheel is supposed to be 7.5kg iirc?

hmm so a 3S-GZE

supposed to be 276hp @ 5psi, nice example of a cold airbox if I do say so myself
