Will I have problems with a ST215 3SGTE - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #6256 8 posts Started by Jabberwock
Is it really hard to install the ST215 3SGTE compared to the others, with a decent mechanic?
215 as in the caldina version??? extremely difficult, theres a ton of extra wiring on them because all the extra electronics that come with a newer generation of the engine.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
i thought you already bought a front clip then decided it wont pass smog then turbo'ing your 5s-fe now wanting an st215 clip

Yeah someone near us had a front clip for $500 and i was told it needed some components...not sure what, but we had already returned it.

So my mechanic went looking for a better place to get the engine and venus auto was going to sell him the ST215 3SGTE......but he was told it had 230hp and i thought it had least 260hp.

I am not sure if Venus told him the wrong engine or what, but I am going ot make sure tomorrow. Oh, and I am not actually where the shop is so I am supervising totally by phone which sucks.

i gotta 3sgte from them and had no problems what so ever
Venus auto is located in Sacramento. I bought a clip from them that I sold to another person, and that guy had a cracked turbo, and leaking valves. They get their stuff from Hong Kong, which = worse quality stuff.
