okay, so i blew the NA 3SGE in my 91 ragtop celica since i have to replace the engine anyway i think it is a perfect time to do a turbo upgrade.
according to this:
3S-GTE Fitment to NA Celica
it is a straight forward swap as long as i use the same vintage 3SGTE.

so

anyone have any advice?

i located a complete front clip
and
a complete engine tranny turbo intercooler setup

now it looks like all i need is the second option since the engine in the convertible is a 3SGE...

after much research i am going to jump into the swap... once again, before i drop some cash...any advice?

now this is a RHD donor engine going into a RHD project car so extensions of wiring will not be needed...

cheers M8s
 
to be honest, i know s*** about front wheel drive cars... i know cruisers and that is about it.

when doing a diesel swap into a cruiser you have tons of room around the engine and one wire to make it run...
when looking under the hood of the Celica i see black snakes all over the place, i see tight fit for my big hands so fabricating parts could be a huge PITA.

hence the plea for advice before i jump.

cheers guys
