Hi all...

I've got a 91 Celica GT Convertable and im looking to swap the 5S-FE engine with a 3S-GTE from the all-trac turbo... Just wondering if anyone out there has done this and if you might be able to offer up some advice that would make the whole thing a bit easier. As Far as I gather the only issues are the ECU need to be for the 3S-GTE, the exhaust needs to be fabricated a bit and i need to modify the top hose of the radiator to accommodate the intercoolers water lines... Is there anything else that I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance,

Ok thanks for pointing me over there... lots of great info like you said...

I have a questions though...
The 3S-GTE is a JDM... my celica is not... am I going to need a different wiring harness to accomadate the difference in the RH drive engine vs LH drive car?

thanks
