The caldina 3s-gte is rumored to be a close to impossible swap. The wiring for the new toyotas is totally different. Its more of one highway transporting all the signals instead of 150 different little streets
 so getting the engine to comunicate with anything else on the car would be very hard, not to mention lengthing the harness would be pretty impossible... Get a st185 3s or a st205 3s. You should be able to find a very good condition st205 clip for under 4k shipped. |

Down Under (Australia that is) a 3s-gte 'inc gearbox' can be fitted for AU$3,000. An extra AU$2,000 will get a GT4 rear clip, giving a 4WD purpose built Turbo engine for $5,000. Or as you Americans say a Alltrack (GT4). |
