- This is about three months of work rolled up into one video. We took this 1990 Toyota Celica GTS and put a 3S-GTE engine in it. This is how the GTS should have come from Toyota back in the day. Fast, Fun, and Unique!
Stock engine (3S-GTE)
Stock turbo (Clocked)
ARP head studs
Cometic MLS head gasket
HKS BOV
Front mount intercooler
2.5” intercooler piping
2.5” stainless full exhaust
3” turbo down pipe
Microsquirt EMS
MORE TUNING TO COME!!! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I love this car
Awesome dude, we'll keep watching if you keep on posting. BTW, what Turbo installed?
Hi from hellas I have a question.. Is the air-conditioning working? I have the same modification and I have problem with that
Hey I know it's been a few years. Wondering how many miles were on the new engine. Those are hard to find
what would be the total in USD to get a 96 celica gt 3sgte swapped up and running?
Hey i love you job, i have one 90 toyota celíaca st
Not sure if you are still reading comments on these older videos but I have a question about clocking the turbo down. Is there anything in particular that I need to look out for?
Also I’m still trying to figure out how you got the intercooler pipe down in front of the Alternator, I don’t see any room for that at all on mine.
I have a 1990 GTS with a 3S-GTE, but I’m going to upgrade to a front mounted intercooler.
Also one more question,
Did you have to buy a Fuel Pump Relay to get your fuel pump to work?
Thanks!
For clocking the turbo pull the compressor housing off and remove the small pin that locates the housing in the factory spot, then you can put it back on in any direction. The wastegate actuator bracket was the worst part about doing it.
The intercooler pipe is very tight infront of the alternator, he has all his accessories so it was very tight as well
I didn't have any issues with the fuel pump, I would check the fuel pump jumper in the small fuse/relay box by the cruise control
Thanks a lot for the info! I’m jumping into the same situation with a 1992 Toyota Celica Convertible putting in a gen 4 3S-GTE engine…. What were your main obstacles doing this? Thanks again!!
The wiring harness was the hardest part
Did the 4th gen swap into a 1992 Celica all trac (2nd gen 3sgte) anything else needed besides a custom harness
How much a set up like this cost? I have a 92 Celica GTS ,the motor need more power is old and I think is on its last days, it has a 360xxx miles on engine
Is it AWD as well??? Or had to be converted? Been looking at importing a GT4 but not to sure
It's a fwd celica with a 3sgte swap
Hey quick question I know it’s been a few years but I have a 1987 Celica gt FWD thats got a 5Sfe in it I’ve been looking into engine swapping it with the 3sgte but there’s only very few forms to read with little information.
Question is will the 3sgte bolt right into the stock transmission (automatic btw) and if so would a 3sgte engine from a mr2 fight right in or would I need one from a all trac Celica ..? I only ask since mr2 3sgte are way more common than the all trac Celica. I really love the car but there’s very little mods and stuff out there for it I don’t really mind but I really would like to upgrade to a 3sgte instead of turboing my stock 5sfe Dont really wanna spend more in tunes / other ecu problems when I can just swap out for a 3sgte na turbo engine with lower miles
You will need a 3sgte flex plate, the 5sfe one won't bolt up. Everything else will let it bolt up to the trans and engine mounts. All the 3sgte mr2 or alltrac have almost identical blocks but for your purposes it doesn't matter. You will need the alltrac accessories like crank pulley, Alt bracket ect. Dollar to dollar it would be cheaper to invest in a ebay turbo kit and run a speedy ecu.
@@velocityperformance8574 ahhhhh shiiiiit ok ok I’ll take all this into consideration and prolly just turbo it
Any chance you could do another celica build like this? Haha, I’ve wanted to mod my 92 celica
I have a 90 Celica coupe I’m working on but it’s not quite like this one.
Velocity Performance It’s been hard to find performance parts, Toyota engines were really never designed for modifications unless you had an all-trac. I’ve seen a lot of custom made stuff on TH-cam and all
how much $$ to do this engine swap in australia? asking for a friend
Which one ended up being faster? Your turbo 5SFE celica or the 3SGTE swapped celica
The 3sfe made more power than the 3sgte.
I have a 90 celica GTS with manual transmission. I would like to have a 3-sgte swap. Where is your shop located, and how much would you charge to do the swap.
Would also like to know
Weird how they never answered.
I’m in Mt. Orab, OH. Any quotes for work please Message me on Instagram victor.velocityperformance
@@velocityperformance8574 will or have yous done a V6 Camry turbo on gen 5 Celica converted to awd?
@@ap3stax v6 swap isn't too difficult, awd is a little more involved. Definitely would be fun but I don't plan on doing it at this time
Sucks that you’re not posting anymore
What transmission did you use? Will stock 93 celica gt 5spd work?
Yes it bolts up, 6th gen celica s54 was used in this one
@@velocityperformance8574 what axles did you have to use
hey so how expansive can it be to do this exact swap ? thanks for your help.
I believe he had around $2500 in parts for this build
Velocity Performance American ?
Yes USD
@@velocityperformance8574 how much did he pay you for the swap? total hours needed ?
While swapping did you have to swap the transmisson out as well?
It’s the s54 transmission
@@velocityperformance8574 thank you so much, is there any place I can talk to you? Me and a buddy are working on the same swap and would like some advice from a person who's done it before
Doing the same swap 93 Celica ST going from 4AFE to a 3SGE Beams Red top. I need help with the engine mount brackets. Also does the engine go in from the bottom? I can't get it in from the top. Find me on facebook project megan
It’s easier to put in from the bottom. I haven’t swapped a 4afe out with a 3s before but I thought the mounts would still line up.
Hey what did you use for a ma's airflow sensor delete
It's running a standalone with speed density
What transmission did you guys use?
S54 trans from a 6th gen
What gen 3sgte was this? and how did you convert the 5s harness with 3s? just by looking through celica bible diagrams?
It is a gen 2 3sgte. I just removed what wasn’t needed for the microsquirt/body/AC system and tucked what I could. I have the BBG for this car and those are the wire schematics I used
What tranny did you decide to mate with? Stock s53 or s54 or E153?
It’s a s54 for now
Did you use the 5sfe wiring and computer
It got a microsquirt and a custom harness for the engine
Velocity Performance so would I be able to use the 5sfe wiring and computer or have to get 3sgte stuff
Jordan Robinson you need a 3sgte Ecu or a standalone Ecu for the 3sgte. And a 3sgte harness or a custom harness.
@@velocityperformance8574 where would i get info for the custom harness schematics etc?
@@danieldelphi6021 I had to make my own harness for every thing I've done so far, the toyota "BGB" has all the schematics you need. It used to be download able but I think it got taken off.
Where are you guys located?
We are in Mt.Orab Ohio
Velocity Performance really need my car to get worked on. You have business number I can call
I personally would've gone from 9" to 6" not the 7 but whatever floats your carburator.
I need this!! I want this HOW MUCH???
Its not an expensive swap, but its just finding a doner with a decent motor.
I drive a '94 Celica GTS, been looking for one for a bit.
Good luck finding a decent MR2 to rip it out of.
