hey guys... i'm a noob here and i need lotsa advice on what i gotta do to my 94 GT..
right now... my car's got a S.I.R with a K&N filter, just added a breather filter to it... changed sparks to NGK iridium, i've redone my piping for my exhaust, installed the ground wire system, waiting for the brembo brake rotors to arrive.. searching for best deals for short shifter. ( know where i can get it at a good price? ) did my tune up... changed my gauges, got eibach sportline coils and AGX struts on it ( got the coils and struts from prev. owner ), replaced tailights with 2nd generation JDM taillights, currently have 16 inches 01 7th gen rims.. doing engine swap by christmas.. found 3sgte engine from Engine Depot in NJ. What else would i need to replace before i'm ready for engine swap?

Holy crud, I thouht this was shind at first.
You might wanna pick up some EBC greenstuff brake pads (www.tirerack.com) to go with those brembos. They'll help stop ya, I love mine.
If you're going 3s, sooner or later you'll wanna get another tranny. So don't get a shorty yet. But go TWM when you do.
Nice to see a n00b who's got his crap together

Which AGX struts did you use? They don't make them for our cars.
QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
Where in NY are you?
And you put in 2nd Gen Celica tails in...from the 1970s...hoping thats a mixup.

id say make sure you read up as much as possible, know the engine like the back of your hand. im assuming that could make a nice easy swap
thanks alot guys. well.... i dunno where he got the AGX struts from, i'll give him a call and ask him... sorry bout the tail lights issue.. i meant the ST205 tailights. i'm still trying to get the projector headlights but no luck finding it..... i pimp my ride alittle in the interior too.... got reverse glow gauges, lotsa glow stick momo shift boot, razo shift knob, trd pedals and the momo door sills are on it's way too. right now.... my current shifter ain't shifting smoothly... that's why i thought of replacing it with a short shifter....anyway. pics will be posted soon... as sooon as i get back my cam... oh btw.. i'm from NYC.

The shifter is just a lever with cables, the smoothness is probably your syncrhos going.
I'm like 45-60mins north of the city, right above Westchester.

wait..I thought newbies are only allowed to ask if they can put a 2JZ into their Celica? ahha..
lol... i may be a noob but i did alot of readings regarding the celica....well... so you're recommending me to only change to a short shifter after i get the swap done? and where can i get the clip?

cough cough the shifter is the same on the st and gt....just the cables are different lengths but the shifter is the same.....get a TWM short throw shifter best bang and the best buck 60% shift reduction
i'd think you could, B16's got what like 185hp, and 120ft-lbs., and you'll have most likely 225hp, 225ft-lbs. (2nd gen JDM 3SGTE), your cars weigh about the same, yours might weigh i bit more, but i'd say you should be able to take him off the line or on the highway.
nice....... exactly what i wanna hear.... my friend's here boasting bout how fast his 98 civic ex coupe is and he's gonna kick my ass with his B16 blowing me off with his V-Tec lol, saying Honda cars are the fastest street car available, smoking even EVOs and STIs lol.... he's gonna be soooooooo sorry he ever said that.... just one question.... how high you guys rev to before shifting... i normally shifts at 4000rpm.

Good luck with everything, and tell your friend to shut up and bite the curb..... anyways, how old are you?
