the only 3SGTE's that came with automatic transmission ECU's were the ultra-rare Toyota Caldina all-tracs in Japan. if you can find that ECU then you're good.

otherwise i wouldnt try it unless you plan on swapping the transmission to manual.

^^^ shit i forgot about the ecu

**Ratko** · 08-07-2005, 12:08 PM

yeah. using an A/T ecu with a manual tranny is do-able because you can just trick the ecu into thinking that the shift solenoids are there with resistors. however, with a M/T ecu it's just not capable of controlling the shift points and all the other complicated shit that goes with the auto trannys.

learn something new everyday!

**Ratko** · 08-07-2005, 12:37 PM

but you're right though... the auto tranny shouldn't have any problem bolting up to the 3SGTE.

In his case then he'd probably be better off going for a 5sfte then just to avoid the ECU issue

**Pineapple** · 08-07-2005, 04:22 PM

Depends on which auto he got. ECT auto use different ECU. Non-ECT auto use same ECU as manual.

Ratko, dude you know you have 9 million posts? lol

**Pineapple** · 11-09-2005, 09:27 AM

^That's why he OWN this site.

Might be a question that is obvious to you but...cant u use a tuned 5sfe auto ECU, like go to a shop and tune it to your likingf tuning will cost like 4-500 bucks).

**Pineapple** · 11-09-2005, 03:22 PM

^Nop, it can't handle boost and don't have boost cut function.
