hey guys

im posting this in 2 sections to maximise results plz forgive me

ill be replacing my 3sfe in my celica in the next week or 2 coz i fried it and dont really have the cash to do a 3sge conversion

so after reading up on the 3sfe i noticed it is also featured in a fair few new models - including the rav 4.

i can get a long motor from the local wreckers for $100, which makes the 3sge conversion seem like a cheap option, but then have to factor in loom, ecu etc, and i just cbf doing the conversion

so just curious if anyone knows if there are any major differences between the models?

im mainly after a newer engine from say a rav4 so i know it will be in better condition.

i realise itd have different engine mounts, which i assume could be swapped with my celica items?

im more concerned about the loom. from what ive read the main differences are valve timing and ecu settings?

meaning i could grab the long motor and ecu and hopfully itl be plug n play? lol

anyway some more info on this would be good!

as said i know the 3sge conversion is a better option, but this is my daily driver, i cbf doing it and my local wreckers doesnt have any in stock. most other places will charge $400+ for a long motor with no hang ons
