1. OEM GT are typically fine as long as your not planning on going over 300hp. I purchased a set of GSP axels (for the GT) for mine that are almost twice as thick as the OEM. They should handle significantly more than 300hp.
2. The MR2 linkages will not work as they're a different length going from and MR car to an FF. The GT will work as long as you use the S54 transmission. If you do a complete conversion to an AWD trans, use the GT4 linkages. 3. You will have to at least use the 3SGTE ECU as well as the 2 bar MAP sensor from the engine. It is recommended that you use a stand alone engine management system though. 4. Wiring harness needs some fabrication. What kinds of fabrication, I don't know, never done one. But there are a few people on here that will do it for you and I see that there is also a premade harness being made now for this swap. -------------------- 99 Celica GT-S

QUOTE (Box @ Sep 21, 2012 - 12:45 PM) I have, just not with the Celica. All my swaps didn't involve computers and the wiring harness consisted of a ground strap to the starter.  The way it should be.  Still when the main part of the swap(engine) is cheaper, that swap will be cheaper. I don't think so I found a full 3SGTE out of an MR2 already. Everything is good on it for $700.00!!!
