Changing 3s Motors in a hilux

Postby antnic » Tue Feb 08, 2005 10:00 am

Hi Guys, I have a question, and kinda wondering if anyone else has done it. I have a 3s engine in my hilux ute, think it is a 3sfe, im wondering if the 3sgte outta a older celica will just bolt in ? has anyone tried this before, also wondered if it would mate upto the hilux 5 speed. Think this would make a mad combo, would loose a little low end torque because of the turbo, but would gain rev's and more sideways action :)

Ummm...


Should fit the existing mounts without any trouble, unsure about the gearbox.

I'm pretty sure it'll fit with minimum hassle though.... and go like shit.

I think I might have to do it, even just for the fun factor !
