Over $6k was invested into the motor with new parts while the motor was out. Reused the S54 Tranny from my 5sfe. The motor alone with harness and ecu was $2k.
@@charliexiong6541 thanks man, I got some friends that may be able to help. Just need the space now! Love the celica btw I’m glad the platforms gaining traction like it should
I’m in the process of deciding on an engine swap for a 1992 Celica ll trac with a 2nd Gen 3sgte. Will the 4th Gen 3sgte the best engine to swap with a 5th gen? Looks good your setup! Keep it up

these videos never fail to entertain me
Amazing job. Looks amazing.
amazing car brother !!
Looks amazing!. I'm doing the exact same thing with my 6th Gen at the moment. Any issues so far with the S series transmission?. Cheers.
Hi, the s54 holds up pretty good. So far it hasn’t give me any issues yet.
Hey Charlie...what engine oil are you using in the 4th gen 3SGTE?
I used synthetics 5w30 as recommended on the oil cap. I know many use different oil for their own liking but mine has been fine so far.
Hey man just found ur channel, if you don’t mind me asking, how much was your 3s swap? I haven’t watched yet but did you do the trans as well?

@@charliexiong6541 as someone who has never done a swap, do you think this would be a good first tackle on an engine swap without taking it to a shop?
@@shakita7280 if you are mechanically inclined and have the knowledge and tools to get the job done then yes.

Hey bro where are you from? Looking for a shop that can work on my 3sgte. We're having a wiring problem.
Hi, I’m from Ca. I had my wires/harness worked by Wiregap.
can we swap the 3rd gen 3sgte with the 5sfe celica gt?
Yes you can
@@charliexiong6541 how about the gearbox ?
@@jmuring hi, many prefer the e153 tranny out of the mr2 turbo or the Camry/solora v6 5spd but the s54 out of the 6gen celica 2.2 5sfe works as well.

Hot start issue?
Yes, hot start issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I had same hot start issue on my gen2, I replaced the spark plugs, ignition coil and most capacitor inside ecu.
