3sgte swap

[$TRD]

hi i'm thinking of swaping a 3sgte engine on my 96 celica gt but i want to use the same tranny from the 5sfe since the 3sgte is awd they told me i can use it but i have to weld the back part of it so what would i need to complete the swap




3sgte engine,ecu,wiring harness and what kind of clutch would i need to put in it ,is that all i need for the swap.
Thanks and please reply asap.

Use the stock GT tranny, and the 5S flywheel with a high performance clutch. The bolt holes on the 5S flywheel need to be drilled out just a little bit for it to fit. You do NOT want to weld the AWD tranny.

And you're going to need a wiring harness conversion, which I can do for you.

yes i heard of phoenix tuning they are pretty good but what else would i need for the swap

[Dr Tweak]

Besides the clutch setup, you need a front-mount intercooler and piping, and I recommend a fuel pump though not required, and of course getting the exhaust set up.

Hay guys its been a long time. Since the 5sfte have cracked all 4 pistons, i have buy a 2nd gen 3sgte to go into my 1992 toyota celica gt. My question is does the 3sgte clutch work with the 5sfe transmission? In the rush to get the engine in i just bolted the 5sfe transmission on to the 3sgte using the 3sgte clutch and the 3sgte pressure plate. I then got worried so before i continue i want to make sure i done it correctly.....

No, you need a custom clutch disc using the 5S hub on the 3S disc. I have them in stock, give me a call at 404-474-4573 or email, drtweak@phoenixtuning.com

Dr Tweak,

May I ask why you said that the AWD is NOT a good idea for a swap in a 6gc?

Do you mean welding the AWD tranny? That's not how it was designed to work, I don't know of anyone who successfully did that. It is possibly to convert the AWD tranny to FWD using parts from an MR2 E153 tranny, but with all of the parts that you need, you might as well just get an E153 in the first place, except for some special circumstances.

I recommend u get an e153 tranny (v6 camry or mr2..some mr2 have lsd so even better) and use a 3sgte clutch. It has treated me very well to date.
