sweetness man, I remember feeling the same way you did when I first got my motor. Have you found that 3rd ECU plug yet?

Im not sure on how to check that. They did not specify when i bought the motor. How would i check? I can tell you that teh wiring harness that is cut on the motor is on the right side of the throttle body if you are looking at the engine from the front.

I can tell you that teh wiring harness that is cut on the motor is on the right side of the throttle body if you are looking at the engine from the front. i would NEVER buy a motor with a cut harness. your going to end up spending as much if not more then the clip cost you in the end trying to get all your parts. luckly, manny is parting out a 3s, so give him a ton of cash and he will save your but and make sure you have everything to make the motor run.  your turbo looks like a USDM one to me. you can also check to see if you have an EGR on the motor. if it is in fact USDM, you might also want to buy a JDM ecu from manny. thats a 20whp gain, just from that ecu .

Best way to tell if its jdm is by the egr valve... If it isnt there then its a jdm motor...

HAHAHAA... WOW! I bet nobody (myself included) would have thought it would take my lazy ARSE this long to make a move on my motor!!! lol I bought this motor when i was 18 with the intention of having it installed when i bought it...SIIIKKE i fooled myself. I really can not believe that i threw this kind of curve ball at my self, but now is the time to swing away!!
Anyways, for those who have not seen this thread before...whats going on guys. I just wanted to let everyone know that i am bringing rejuvenation to this thread lol. Actually the true reason i am rebuilding my 2nd gen 3sgte is because my stock 5sfe pooped on me about a month ago. The process of taking the motor down and seeing how it looks inside has already began, and the long road ahead looks LONG lol.. to say the least. Anyways, i do have some pics of the progress that has been going on the last couple of weeks.       Hope you guys like what you see, in the mean time i will hopefully be putting it all back together within the next couple of weeks~ **also i will be updating frequently EDIT- sorry for poor pic quality.. only got a phone -MM This post has been edited by CelicaGT04: Oct 16, 2008 - 12:04 PM |
