Alltrac swap help! - Toyota Celicas

CelicaGTS90 · 02-25-2013, 10:40 PM

I am looking to do the swap but I have run into a few issues. Mostly where can I get the swap? I have been looking at front clips but they are all right hand drive and it is near impossible to locate a clip that isn't right hand drive. Also does the GTS tranny bolt up to the alltrac motor?

I can answer one question, yes the gts tranny bolts right up to the 3sgte

So then technically all I would need is the engine, ecu, and harness? Instead of the whole front clip?

This topic has been visited before, the cost of the swap exceeds the price of a real all trac Celica.

Yes. Only issue are the clutch setup. And possibly wire harness

idk if i believe that just a straight 3sgte swap would cost more than an all trac....

I doubt it. I found a motor with harness, turbo, the while 9 yards for 1400, and have a friend who is only gonna charge 1000 for the swap. Just after researching the swap, everybody says different things. Some say it just drops in and goes, others say things don't line up and sensors need to be changed. I'm on the fence about this swap. I love alltracs but at 12000 dollars, I don't love them that much. My gts cost me 2300 and assuming the swap works then ill have an alltrac (FWD still) for around 5000. But with my experience with cars, I have learned that NOTHING is ever simple. I just need some guidance with my decision and to find out what a swap would really consist of!

Sensors have nothing to do with it unless your talking about automatic transmission. A engine can be broken down into 2 or 3 pices. Long block and tranny. If you want to break it down more then its head, bottom end then tranny. Sensors usually tell the ecu whats going on to help with optimum performance and engine health. Or long block health. Alot of things are interchangeable, I know I have a 5s block and a 3sgte head

I was talking AWD conversion with the 3sgte on a normal Celica
