so... couple of weeks ago.. i heard some noise coming out of my engine..( it was coming from the head .. i was running low on oil so i though its just a lifter tap..) i put more oil in noise never went way.) start driving it again and this morning got into my car and went to college right after i passed 5krpm car struggled little bit.) didnt give a ****) drove it home. went back outside driving slow.all of sudden i hear click noises( and tapping loud..
checked the oil.. it was nothing in there( spun a bearing?****ed up rodS?)idk drove it home 20mph.
now looking for a 7afe long block or 3sge.. question is how hard is to wire up 3sge..(i only need to find an ecu and wiring harness)
some one help me out:(
thx

I was interested in a 3sge for awhile and was also curious about the wiring...I was told it's quite easy and you can do it in your own drive way with patience. My problem was the shift cables...I guess you have to modify them or get longer ones?

You might want to edit your title to reflect your actual question, it looks like you need help with a spun bearing, not engine replacement choices.

Easiest would be a 7A obviously.
Anything but an A series engine will require you to replace the trans and a whole bunch of other things.
Doable, but a lot of work.

A 4AGE version should fit in fine, though wiring would have to be done.
I don't know the specifics of what else would have to be replaced, but I can't imagine it being more than for an S series engine.

ah the memories...

this is from a talon pushing 400 some hp at the wheels on a narrow band and safc tunning huge injectors



you could ghetto fix it and sell the car, then pick up another celica for what you sell for.

or swap away

4age's should run you about 800 for all you need, same transmission can be used, send the harness to dr tweak or dave (if he'll do it for you) thats $400 then its just a matter of putting it in.

ive never done that specific swap, but i cant see it being too hard

as manny says, get some balls n dive in!

well i bought the 3rd gen 3sge already
need GT axles and tranny.. mounts.. shifter cable and ECU
