Where to buy 3s - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #83530 13 posts Started by NewOrleans
In the next month or 2 I would like to do a 3sgte swap into my celi, but didn't want to just buy from somewhere on the internet i have never heard of. Where are some places that y'all have used or use to buy either the engine or whole clip(what i really want)

I would just like an opinion before I send over a couple thousand dollars to some company lol
eBay. Sellers on there with a good rating I'd trust. If I were buying an engine for a swap that's most likely where I'd get it.

most buy from ebay. once in a while there will be some good deals. usually ones without body parts are cheaper than those with it. with a $4500 price tag, i'd just rather get a second car lol. GL on your search!
I bought mine from jdmengineworld.com. I got a quality clip for a good price, and the customer service was top notch
Not exactly sure. Where are you located?? :-p

I'm located right outside new Orleans. Coming into a new job next week that will give me the funds for some fun lol
Got mine from JDM Engine Zone in New Jersey.
Anyone have any luck with buying clips? I'm leaning towards a clip so I can know I have all that I need.
Buy from me i have my engine ready to pull pm me for details!
guess now its really playing the waiting game and trying to find a good clip. so i can be sure im getting everything i need. been seeing st215 clips and thinking of just doing one of those? that a good idea?? *only if i dont find a 205 clip when i have money waiting
3S-GTE swaps are cool, but why not do something cooler.... V6 baby!

They said $3,000 for a ST205 front cut with all the front body parts plus the rear end.
$1,700 for a 3sgte swap kit, which Im assuming includes at least the engine, wiring harness and ECU.
Yeah that was my post on the fb page haha. Smaay you care to exaggerate on a v6 swap?
