Topic #93262 14 posts Started by thatSt204guy
Just bought myself a 3sge Beams and can't wait to get started on this project, cost me $1200 and just had to go pick it up. Finally gonna get rid of my 5sfe whoooo!!!


Pic of the new engine that's going in:




big no no, right there. that yellow strap is going to break the connector off the vvti sensor, please be careful, they are expensive and hard to look for,

These engines are very nice to drive. i love mine, but i cant keep two cars. lol

Oh thanks for telling me about that strap i just re-positioned the straps so no connectors are near any of the straps.

I'll probably be on here a lot know that I'm doing this swap asking a lot of questions and looking for any advise that anyone has to give.

Thanks again.

Nice choice - I want to get a BEAMS when my state allows me.

Can we see some pics of the car about to be swapped? smile.gif

Throttle position sensor is broken. That'll set you back about $50 for a brand new one, part number 89452-02020. Looks like the wiring and a few other things will need some attention but should be a fun project. thumbsup.gif

Thanks for that part #, that should save me a lot time looking for a new one. Can't wait to get started on this project!
Some pics of my lady that this engine is going into:

I want to know too. I spun a bearing in mine, a 99 Celica, and I can buy the upgrade. I don't know what else I will need to complete the swap. I can buy the engine and transmission complete with the harness. What else will I need?

You'll need the engine, uncut engine harness, b-pipe and stock airbox.

We need more information. Is your car a GT or ST? Auto or manual? I have a writeup in the stickied that will be very useful for getting you started in the right direction.

Do you have everything plugged in down by the ECU? There's 3 plugs that go to the dash harness. You shouldn't be having any issues.
