Engine 3S-GTE swap

3S-GTE swap

hi guys the other day i came across a 3S-GTE for my corolla.. problem was. it apparently didnt have a AFM with it. is it worth it? cuz i think without it the motor will stutter and stall.. is it easy to get a new AFm for the 3S-GTE? interchangeable with the 3s-GE or 3S-FE by any chance?

secondly, how can you physically tell if the 3S-GTE is 1st, 2nd or 3rd GEN? i specifically want the 3rd Gen.

the one i saw had "ceramic dual entry turbo" written on it, with an intercooler, but i'm not sure if it was air-air or air-water one..

Please a quick response would be MUCH appreciated.

if the turbine is ceramic it most likely came from japan. what year corolla are you gonna put it in.

differences between 2nd and 3rd gen 3s-gte's

The 3rd gen only came in JDM cars, so if it's out of a US MR2 then it's a 1st or 2nd. You could probably get a new air flow meter from most auto parts stores.

Is an AFM the same as a MAF? if so you could probably find generic ones that could be adapted.

thanks guys.. the engine is from japan actually..the guys said ithad everything except the "air flow sensor".. i presumed he meant it was the AFM. if it had a MAP probably the guy didnt know about it cuz its INSIDE the manifold and its a 3rd GEN?? (please let it be a 3rd gen!!)

swap is for my '06 1ZZ-FE Corolla Altis.

No emission laws here

Isn't it going to be super hard to get a 3S-GTE in to an 06 Rolla?

fensport's done this swap with a celica gt4 motor and drivetrain. shouldn't be hell.

you can fit a small baby into the engine bay of a 03+ rolla.. there's plently of room for a 3s

oh it fits.. its a tight fit.. but it does.. have to redo the axles n shyt though.. but its worth it.. i've been in one.. n MAN.. it is FAST!

while you're at it make it awd

hehe.. as if its not enough headache already.. j/k

okay.. i''ve sourced a celica gt4 ST205... now which gearbox to mate the motor with? suggestions? oh and what about the LSD? i dont think 3S-GTE is going to be much use without the LSD? can i use the one on the 4wheel drive tranny?

hey what year of corolla is this going into?? if its for 98 or similar let me know how much it would cost for motor mounts..thanks.

All in good time my friend.. Allllllll in good time

Yeah I've seen vids and pics of the fensport one. VERY nice indeed.

I almost went with a 3S-GTE swap. Kinda sad I went with the S/C instead.

can anyone tell me where to get the pics n videos?
