Again, didn't mean disrespect, just repping to everyone else it's been done. I still don't know if his is 100%, but I think that's bc of the body work he's doing. -------------------- |

July 26th, 9am to 12pm, 8pm to 12am
Wiring... July 27th, 9am to 5 pm Installing the harness onto the engine... Ready to go in. July 28th, 9am to whenever I quit tonight Today I spent most of the day running around getting a custom power steering hose made, custom a/c lines set up, and getting any parts I needed. With the lift, installing the engine through the bottom is a cinch. Two more Celicas are in line. The 6th gen is getting a 3SGTE and the 5th gen is getting a 3SGE BEAMS. Installing the engine...

Dang Tweak, nice work. The black Celicas are all lining up to get the go-go treatment. Every time I see one of those wiring harnesses, I think "Better him than me; that looks like a PITA."
Nice. -------------------- |

It's getting a front-mount intercooler.
I'd charge $400 for that conversion, it's a bit more of a pain in butt than most harnesses.

Did I do your harness? -------------- Update, I just cranked up the engine and it started right up on the first try!

Actually you should just ship it over here, it's not all that expensive.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I have some more pics that I haven't uploaded yet, I'll add them tomorrow. I've road tested the car and it runs great! I just needs to go to the exhaust shop and get a couple of custom a/c lines installed.

It looks like you really enjoy your work. No you're pretty much right, I actually loose sight of that from too much stress, which is a mistake. I DID get into this because I love doing swaps and tuning engines, and sometimes I forget that! In fact, that's probably 1/2 the reason I post this stuff up, because showing my work and getting feedback on it often inspires me to keep it up. -Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Jul 30, 2006 - 10:03 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
