Regarding your head: yeah just ship it over I´ll gladly mill and port it :-) But no I´m no pro. Don´t think you can find somewhere I told anyone I ever was :-) But
what I do, usually Works.

Well not much news here. Had my injectors cleaned and tested and they are fine for the job with the addition of an adjustable fpr. Also bought a new clutch. New lightweight flywheel and engine Work are Next.

Yeah a proper racing seat and 6 belt harness is good when racing. Had Corbeau and Trw when I used to race a couple of years ago. But this car is also a dd so won´t be getting those toys for it.

Which also Means I have the Money for a proper adjustable suspension. Oh why do I need new brakes? cos the oe ones are **** and will never survive a track day. Nor will the car or I

"Toyota is not that stupid"" WTF. WHO said that they are? Not me for sure. I love my Toyota :-)

What octane do I plan to use? The best one of cause. We have 99 here. I´m pretty sure the factory manual doesn´t say anything bout tuning your engine. Or how is that mister mechanic? btw thats some wild increments in cr you are operating there: "let´s stick to 11:1 or 12:1" Well what if lets say, 11,1:1 was just on the edge og knock. Wouldn´t 12:1 be just a liiitle bit too much??

I have my head milled and my cams are reground + I´m porting my head as I found some possibilities in there. Now I just need to put it all back together and stick my st205 brakes on it and I´m track ready :-)

Maybe I´ll be back to report later on if the interest is there.

Nope, thats correct.

The add list I´m aware of, but thanks for the reminder.

Theres no damage to my engine. No strange noises and oil is almost clear when it´s changed every 10K km´s. Also NO metallic flakes sticking to the sumpplug.

Unless you are familiar with racing Companies in denmark you wouldn´t know them. It´s a Company that I trust and I tell them what I want and they make it from
the oe cams. I told them cams should still be streetable, and since I´ve learned that mild cams at circa 264* are just that, that´s what I told them to make.

Yes I´m aware what ecu I´m using, and I can still make adjustments. NO, not with the ecu. But there are other ways of adjusting. History of tuning
engines started way before there was something called ecu´s :-)

I know what a Knock-Link is, used it in my WRX some years ago. Same with wideband. Those are for monitoring, just as I´ve explained. What I asked was, if I
could hook-up these with the existing oe sensors.


mi645 I really think you need to start from the beginning. In my first post I specifically mention my reasons for asking how much can be taken of the head:
cambelt tension and piston/valve contact. So read away LOL. BTW what do you mean by "he"??


BUT I still haven´t heard from the NA tuning gurus in here. How much material can safely be taken off the head of a 3. gen- 3sge??

Anyone knows where Pasqual went?

Factory catch can on an 3sge 3. gen.? can you post a Picture of this please.

Lambda/oxygensensor in exhaust might be out. New fuelfilter. New airfilter. New sparkplugs. Change oil and filter. Good luck.

Looks good. Are the tires street legal? link to www?

Yearh thanks for the good info on fpr´s Rusty. Sorry but I don´t know why horsepower is published the way it is here in europe. Those were the numbers I got from a free rolling-road day a couple of years ago. So why bother fixing a good strong engine you ask. Well, because it´s old, has nearly 280.000 km´s under the belt, I want to use it as a daily driver for many years to come, and the most important reason: I might just take up my racing career again. It needs at least new gaskets, seals and cambelt. Then I decided on a lightweight flywheel and I thought, heck why not take the engine out and get rid of all the rust and gunk and give it a paint job. Then I found out I might as well stick some new bearings and rings in there. It´s evolving ;-)

The alu crank pulley has been there for more than 40.000 km´s so it´s staying

As for the camshafts, I just asked a renowned Company if they could grind them to 264* since I´ve heard these would still be ok for daily driving. No serious porting apart from the intake and exhaust ports. no valvejob apart from cleaning and adjusting. Oe exhaustmanifold. No crank balancing. I know somekind of uprated ecu gives so much more (had them in my former race-engines), but for the moment I´m going with a wideband and a knock-link for safe tuning. Power? let´s see, but I wouldn´t be surprised to see 200+. Compression? you tell me:-) but I think something like 11,5:1 is ok. But still the big question is:

How much to mill off?

NO you can NOT just mill away, very bad advise there.

btw, is it possiblel to hook up a wideband and a knock-link to the existing wiring loom, so I don´t need to install extra sensors?

Thanks for the comments.

I´m already aware of all of the above possible problems. I haven´t come across a thinner head gasket for this engine. OE is 1mm. I know there are high comp pistons, but a friend og mine will mill the head for free, and I can spend my Money on something else like better suspension.

Anyone in here with the knowledge of tuning 3. gen. 3sge´s and milling Down the head, and the injector capacity ? feel free to contribute to my project :-)

Ok.

Reason??

Hi. I´m about to do a complete overhaul on my 3. gen 3sge. Bearings, toothbelt, seals, gaskets, and pistonrings. And while I´m at it I thought, hey why not have
some fun at the same time. So now I got St205 brakes and a s54-06d gearbox waiting for installation too. It´s making 188 hp on 95 octane (we have 98 in this
country) with a decat and KN panel filter + an alu lightweight crankpulley.

I ´ve done a lot of research on this engine and I think I have a pretty good Picture of what I want. I´m going for re-shaped cams, a good maschinist shop will make
them into 264*. I´m going to up the compression by shaving off the head, install a Fidanza flywheel, make a cai into the oe box along with supporting mods like
Magnecor leads a wideband lambda sensor and perhaps an adjustable fpr or high capacity fuelpump. No piggyback or standalone at the moment, but it is on the list for future mods.
My thoughts are:

1. how much can I shave off the head? I once read somewhere (can´t find it anymore) that 1mm is ok. My concerns here are mainly detonation,
but also piston/valve contact (but I don´t think so as this engine is a non interference engine), and cambelt slack.

2. will the oe green injectors be able to deliver enough fuel? I don´t know how much they are rated at.

Thank you for reading

What´s the name of those tires?

Hi Demios

Still very interested in the calipers.

Best regards
Claus

Are the brakes still up for sale?

calipers only, or including discs? info about the condition of them and shipping to denmark. Thanks a lot.
