I found this 3S-GE, $400.00 Options

[6G96GT]

It boasts 25-30K miles for under $400! Does this look like it's a little shady?

Is that why it's so cheap and what do you think of the credibility?

i had a freind order there jdm honda engine from there and it was in good working order. no problems with the engine at all

[6G96GT]

Good to know. Are you knowledgeable about swapping out the 5sfe for the 3sge BLKCELICA95?

[Rusty]

thats quite an old one generation 1 3S-GE?

[Rayme]

Yea, that's 130 HP !

[Kadett]

1ste gen 3S-GE swap is pretty pointless, if you want some extra power, regrind your 5s-fe camshafts, gives a pretty good performance boost.

[6G96GT]

What else do I have to do in order to make the cams work...fuel man. upgrading? Stiffer springs? Tune?

If I were to get a 3S-GE engine...what generation should I get? I want the most direct and painless installation possible with the 3sge engine. I was thinking the mid-90's 3sge???

[blckcelica95]

for the cams to work , you ll have to re shim , tuning isnt a must but to get all you can out of the regrind, its a good idea.
if i were swaping to a 3s-ge i would get the new est gen possible. and since your not boosting i would try to get a beams vvti.

[6G96GT]

I thought the new beams had complications that came with swapping it into a 6gen celica gt. Is that correct? Plus, it's a bit too much $$ for me.

I've been thinking about the 3rd gen 3s-ge but would I want EGR or not? There were 2 types for the 3rd gen apparently.

[blckcelica95]

i would try to find a beams red top , like this one on ebay. im pritty sure this motor came in 6 gen .
