engine swap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #73701 6 posts Started by Candyman661
Hey guys hows it going? im new to these forums. i added to this site because i Love my 94 Celica! its the greatest freakin car ever built! and i cant wait to get it moving again.
point being it has been parked for 3 years I could never sell it, but didnt have the cash to fix it. now I am going to get it running again but. i want to swap the engine.
have you guy heard of www.RPMGarage.com? I want to buy a front clip from them but dont know any history on them.

what swap should i go with and why?
since the engine will be out of the vehicle... what internals should i do?
im trying to get decent power. but im not verry good with the whole mechanics part. i just really like the car.

what should i do?
help me out guys
i dont have personal experience with rpmgarage but they're pretty legit. some people here have dealt with them.

go to the stickies in the engine, transmission and maintenance. a lot of info there. few people have done v6 swaps too. just search it.

All swap related info could be found in performance and engine forums mate. Most people who consider swaps either try to be different or stick with a proven 3sgte swap. Naturally there are far more 3s swapped cars than there are other engines and for good reasons.

well i want to do the 3sgte because it fit right on to my motor mounts. but i dont know if there are better wiring harnesses than the stock ones? and what kind of internals i should go with. if im already putting it in... might as well do it right.

what about the turbo?
should i go with the stock engine mount intercooler or a front mount?
u can splice the stock harness into the 3sgte harness.I would recommend installing a stock 3sgte and make it run perfectly...and see wat 260 horses feels like in our lightweight cars then go from there because 260 may be plenty for u.
