its basically hooks upto your fuel line... And on top of the regulator theres reffrence point for boost. And depending on what ratio you get it raises sooo many lbs to every 1 lb of boost...

Why manual to auto?

1. Auto tranny from a gen 2 (87 - 91) I4 Camry would bolt up.

2. Auto tranny from Celica with 3S-FE?

3. Auto tranny from gen 2 (87 - 91) V6 Camry.

Other then the ones I listed, I don't know what else would work unless you want a beefier manual tranny.

i like having a manual. the car is auto now. i have 2 celicas one manual that doesnt run, and one that is auto that does. id rather have the manual, but i dont know how hard it would be to fit up in there. just want to make sure there is no wiring that i should have to worry about other than the neutral start switch

Okay. So you want to go from auto to manual not the other way around.

The tranny and other parts should swap right over. You have to do some modifications though (drill holes to mount the clutch master cyl., etc...)

Ratko knows about rewiring the neutral safety switch, so ask him about it.

Or you can checkout his webpage at the link below.

I think so.

You can also try one from a MR2 Turbo (I believe it'll bolt right up) or a Walbro 255lph pump.

silverstreakin · 12-22-2003, 01:01 PM

sweet. i dont think it would hurt to have a bit bigger. ive all ready seen the 255lph pump on ebay for pretty cheap

now i am just wondering about the donor car. the whole harness is totally in-tact. i thought it had been melted before, but its not. might be worth the time to keep the harness whole just in case. any requests?

any clutch/flywheel recommendations?

Do you have a 6 bolt or 8 bolt crank?

If its a 8 bolt crank you can use a flywheel made for a 3S-GTE (I believe its 8 bolt). It should work seeing that both engines share the same block.

You can also use the flywheel off your donor car as long as both cars have the same # of bolts for the crank.

For the clutch you can use one for a 3S-FE, 3S-GE, or 3S-GTE. My thinking is that either one should work, unless the input shaft is a different size or the number of splines is different.

cool. im not sure on the bolt pattern. ive yet to even get the engine out of the car. (waiting on a cherry picker) ive still got a long ways to go before i get everything settled
