6G Celicas Forums

I know this is an old question no offense to anyone, is upgrading 3sge 3rd gen worth it, i mean how many hp would you get for it, cams piggibacks for how many hp? the costs to upgrade will just amount to a 3sgte, or just leave it stock, my engine is out and im just thinking if its worth to up grade it

any comments on lightening the oem ones

thanks fgvillegas, regarding cracks not on the pipe itself but on the joints where it was welded, guess it depends on the workmanship to

would like to ask about piping size when we say 2inch or 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 so on, is this the inner diameter or outer diameter? and what gauge or pipe thickness is best if I go stainless, some say that you connot use stainless on a turbo set up pipes will crack is this true

how much does a stock 3sge third gen flywheel wiegh? are they the same as the other gen's.

i know many may not agree but is it ok to lighten it, if so by how much is safe

or wich is better to lighten crank pully or flywheel or can you do both

just like to add in how about the inlets in the TB seal them to or leave them as is

fgvillegas, what tach adaptor did you use for your MSD 6A, did you use msd pn 8910-EIS, nothing esle.

looks like very good idea

3-195-A Camshaft

640USD

how you think these cams would do

what happened to your dyno

thanks for the offer sir pasqual, i will seriuously consider that but i will have to save first, and like i said i am from the philippines there will be shipping costs, we have decent machine shops here that can do the head, how much did you shave off it, and what gasket did you use

as for now i will just prep the engine, will post pics

thanks guys, so stock springs are ok, just dont beyond 11.3 lift, i will try to find a good machine shop that can do the regrinds, thingking just 272deg with 10.5mm lift, how about cam gears, is it useless to use bigger values

i looking if i can mill the TB will not go itbs for now, what is a good piggyback system that a can use?

my 3sge cam from a JDM automatic, is it true that the intake cam of an 3sge 3rd gen auto is 240deg 8.7mm lift than the manual 252deg with a 9.8 or like what you said 10.115mm, havent opened it yet, i got the engine with out tranny

hello guys i dont know if this is a dum question, can i use the valves and springs of a 3sge 4th gen beams red top for 3sge 3rd gen, intake value is 1mm and ex is .5mm bigger, for springs which gen has stronger springs, was also thingking if it is possible to use the cams of the 3sge 4th gen beams redtop for 3sge 3rd gen would take out the vvti, can this work

thanks for the reply sir pasqual, is it safe to do regrinds, what valves did you use, did you have isuses with megaquirt2, how many hp did it get on the dyno

Helo guys im new to this site, im from the philippines and just got a 3sge 3rd gen for my st 171, was planing of upgrading the engine while its still out of the car, was thingking of puting itbs from a black top 4age and changing the values and springs from a beams which are allitle bit bigger or from a gte im still sourcing for the specs of other ge or gte and if they can be swap with minor machining, then go adjustable cam gears and cams with better lift, its kinda hard and expensive to look for 3sge parts here so im looking at the options from other gen that can be an upgrade for the 3rd gen, any sudgestions will be most appriciated. Thanks
