help with 3SGE into 1993 caldina? (pics of 3SGE wanted)

Postby moogoose77 » Tue May 17, 2005 12:50 pm

hey could someone post up the basic picture of a 3SGE please?
these are just a 4 cyclinder NA 2.0L engine eh?
ive heard the term long block a few times on this engine? are there different block sizes for the 3SGE? which one should i be using?

also does anyone know if the caldina gearbox will bolt up to it? or could someone take a pic of the gearbox on the engine so i can see what position the bolts are in etc to compare?

also some pics of how the engine mounts up or if anyone knows if they mount up the same?

if any1 has done this b4 any wireing loom/ecu changes to be made? i pressume i will need a new ecu but not sure about the loom/pin outs?

any tips/help/pics is much appreiated!

thank you

First, it would help if we knew what motor is in your car to start with! the gearbox/mounts MAY bolt up, but we need to know what is in there first. And you will definitely need a new ECU to run it. The block sizes for all 3sges are the same, but I would reccomend getting one from a celica or a caldina as opposed to an MR2, as the piping etc. is a bit different. You may need the mounts as well, depending on what engine is in there already.
