95 Camry 3sgte Swap Coming together...

[zoni]

If you don't know me... you havent been around on TN too long... if you do, you'll know i am a lazy bastard... basically im up off my ass and getting this project together...

So the wiring harness is mostly done.. just have to relocate a couple wires for the GM IAT, Boost control Solenoid, and wire up the GM MAP to the toyota wiring, and im waiting on an EGT signal converter so the AEM can read from the autometer EGT probe..

The most recent things i've done have been to combine my 95 camry wires (IP1, IP3 Chassis to engine harness Connectors to Fuse Box) with the 91 3sgte engine wiring...

I split up the entire harness from the 5sfe, got the stuff i'd need. then split up the 3sgte engine wiring harness which i got from Justin's Wraith, and would have worked if my car was a 92-93, and got basically went from fuse box to ecu and split off the stuff i didnt need and added the stuff i do need...
Today I put the chassis ecu harness jumper on there too....

A few notes on the harness... I eliminated the fuel pump relay & resistor, and the a/c stuff... in retrospect, i could have kept the a/c stuff. it was my plan from the beginning to ditch it though, so oh well... too late now, everything is in. Due to the AEM computer, I ditched the stock AFM in favor of a GM MAP and IAT Sensor. Doing this harness was a dreaded process.. once i got into it though, it came together fine... for anyone attempting an engine swap without the ability to read wiring diagrams and use intuitive reasoning to make sense of everything, i recommend phoenixtuning.com. dr. tweak is the man for making wiring harnesses and doing swaps... If i didnt have the abilities i have, i'd be all over that.


SOOOO... basically the wiring is almost done. i have a few hoses to buy and hook up, have to do the gauges, finish up some audio wiring, and then fill er up with fluids and see what happens with the AEM... i'm fairly confident that everything will work well. I got a ton of experience from wiring up my old 1mz swap. Although that was 94 to 94, both usdm, a couple things were different... so i learned from that. this one is just WAY tougher..

good to hear that your sticking with the project, good luck man!!

[zoni]

yeh gotta stick it out.. otherwise, it'd be a huge waste of money and time and sweat and blood and garage space...

sidenote... anyone got a 2 1/16 " boost gauge?? i have a bigger one, and it doesnt fit the pillar pod i have...

Looks incredible, I really hope to do a 3-SGTE swap as well. Thanks for the link for the wiring harness guy, I will almost definitely have to use his resources. <.<

[95WhiteCamry]

[the_professional]

Wow, so much work involved.
I admire the heart.

has anyone else here HEARTILY attempt the 3SGTE swap and/or completed it?

[prnc_chrmng]

i think theres been 2 other gen3 swaps, and some gen2s....

[the_professional]

i heard about a gen 2 swap down under in austrailia.
I never knew on the gen 3's.
Thanks!

I found it really sad when you were talking about parting out with the parts!!

Your almost done...Keep on truckin!
