it means that the wiring harness is un-cut.

3S-GTE pRIZM · 11-11-2006, 11:34 PM

which means what does it come with all the pins and the plastic pin holder

yeah, means none of the sensors or wires have been "cut"

You WILL need a UN-CUT harness to do the conversion unless someone is making you a custom one, i think you said you wanted to do the conversion for cheap?

If so you better live and breathe toyota technical stuff and learn so you can do it yourself

It cant be too too cheap if he is gonna put in a 3sgte.....

Uncut simply means that you have all plugs in tact on the wiring harness - From the passenger and drivers side fuse box to the ECU and all of the sensor plugs...

If its a cut harness it usually means they have done what i had to do and make everything match the inside of the car, so the harness has been 'cut'

haha.. yeah we're not talking a wham bam thank you mam kind of swap here.

Usually cheap and 3SGTE don't go together.

i didnt mean cheap cheap what i should have said it like a motor thats used with a tranny... so i wouldnt have to buy them seperate...and im looking into other motors now cause that swap seems like it would be to much or a pain in the a**

Well the 3SGTE won't be cheap, no 3SGTE came in FWD so you're basically stuck sourcing out a FWD transmission that will fit (3SGE, 5SFE will do) or you can use the SW20 MR2 transmission but it will have to be modded to work in FWD as it drives the opposite way. Then you're looking at modding the engine mounts for the motor to actually bolt up to the Corolla, I believe at least one mount has to be customized. Then you finally get to the wiring part which of course as most people say is probably the easier part out of the whole deal, but still will take you some work.
