oh no not another 3s topic, 7afe - 3sgte Options

[playr158]

hey guys aite normally i'm a "original motor" person but think i've come across a reasonable deal

offer:
USDM 5th gen all-trac 3sgte 100,000 miles (just the motor)
500$

need to complete swap:
5sfe tranny (94-99 prefered)-$-est 500$
clutch (94-99)------------------150$
motor mount (pass side)------50$
new axels-----------------------100-200$
255lph fuel pump--------------100.00$
FMIC----------------------------170.00$

EMS:
greddy emanagment(standalone since i don't have a 3sgte harness)-350$
or
megasquirt (couldn't find a price or anything like that)

so in an estimate i'm spending
500
500
150
50
150
100
170
350
~2000usd$ in parts?

let me know what i'm missing!
and such

[thedevilmaycrie]

a brain... thats expensive...















no but really you need to rebuild kit for the 3s.... head gasket set, possibley crank seals, ect... and the most expenisive part of all ... labor....

-DMC

[Rjb23]

Wiring harness and miscellanious stuff that only comes with the clip, axles, mounts, ignitor, etc..

[Supersprynt]

Where are you getting a stand alone for 350?

What FMIC is that? Wheres the piping for the FMIC? Thats 300 right there.

[playr158]

FMIC from johnnyracecar.com
piping still lookin around (60$) lol

axels, mounts, wiring (which comes under the EMS feature)
ignitor (junkyard) or advanced auto

gaskets and such i get from advanced (i work there)

[trdevelopment]

igniter,ecu,deff rebiuld kit,possibly turbo rebiuld kit...

[playr158]

igniter (junkyard,advanced,toyota)
ecu (stand alone, pay attention to post please)
rebuild eh describe what you mean cause the motor itself is in good condition i'm probably goin to get new rings for it though cause one cyl is at 17% rest are 9%

turbo rebuild isn't needed
it works fine
and i'll eventually soon after go T3

[Supersprynt]

Dude, you got alot to work out. Emanage first off, isnt an EMS, its a piggy back fuel controller. If your cutting corners with cheap intercoolers and 60$ piping its going to bite you in the ass.

No matter what, you need the FULL harness. This has disaster written all over it and I hate to burst your bubble but I'd start weighing other options.

i'd be optimistic

but you do need that wiring harness....pray one's for sale somewhere...

[Supersprynt]

You can be optimistic or you can be a knowledgable buyer so you dont have to hope. A harness can cost up to $200.

[presure2]

yea that list you made is pretty much usless, everything super is telling ya is right, cheaping out on ANYTHING when your doing it will bite you in the end.
and a usdm motor with 100k in it is NOT a good candidate for a swap..
another thing is you'd be VERY luck to find a harness for 200...
without it you need a FULL standalone EMS, not a piggyback...ie 1200+ plus the tuning time to get it running correctly.
a swap is NEVER cheap or easy, if your looking for it to be either, you got another thing comming.

[Digndoug]

Id say just get a clip.

[playr158]

yea oh this defenitly isn't one of those hey i'm doin this kinda post its
eh well lets see for the hell of it
in all actuality i'm goin 7afte along those lines
but yea johnnyracecar intercoolers arn't cheap i've actually heard a couple of good things about intercoolers from them
and as for piping just gotta know the right people to get it from

mmk
so figure i'll just stick with my original 7afte plans

[lagos]

playr158, sorry bro, but your plan just dont seem realistic.

an emanage is a piggy back not a full stand alone. you will need the wirirng harness, ecu, AFM, ignitor, coil, resistor packs, etc just to get the car running.

a realistic ballpark price to spend is around 3-4,000 if you do your own laybor and GET A CLIP.

[Consynx]

something like that woulda pry me away from Apexi power FC too...i dont want no damn megasquirt!

lol

you guys think that when the swap time came, getting $ for the little things like gauges was a pain? or did you have 1-2K set aside

[Supersprynt]

You only need 1 gauge to start and thats a boost gauge.
