Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior 3S-GE swap?

hey.. i blew my engine for the 2nd time.. yeah.. i know.. im a retard haha.. i was wondering if I can get a 3S-GE swap.. will it work?? the 3s-ge out of an Altezza is 245hp na right?

yes it will work

by the way, just get the 3ZZ if i were you!

I don't know if it will work.

You don't know if both engines share the motor mounts.

What configuration was the 3S-GE setup for? FF, AWD, FR or MR? If it was setup for FR or MR, have lots of fun finding or converting it so it mates with the proper transmission.

You can also have fun when it comes time to do a SMOG check on your car. If the motor in your car is older than the car itself, you'll fail. If the motor in your car was designed for a AWD, FR or MR, and you have it in your FF, you'll fail smog. That goes for SMOG in California Scott. I just thought I'd share some information before you did anything serious.

if anyone has a 2zz-ge that they dont need like if you crashed it from the back or wahtever.. let me know..

i asked the place.. they said the 3s-ge will be pretty easy.. just have to make custom motor moutns..

id like to see that. keep us updated on what you decide to do,

i saw a pic a while ago the engine doesnt' fit very well had to have a lot of custom cutting and fabricating it is not as easy as just changing motor mounts.

the engine is also extrewmely tilted to the back of the car as well.

that would be awesome... except it uses 110 octane gas, and gas prices are a biatch these days

its a 3sgte, but same concept

found the link

sorry you all posted as i was looking fo rhte link my bad. why would you want to put in a 3sge over a 3sgte i think swapping for another na motor would be silly

very true. you should go the route the guy i posted went. if ur gonna swap, might as well swap F/I
