Thanks for the info I got the tacho eventually.
Do we have any part numbers for engine parts here?
I have my second beams engine sat in my garage and was going to have a good look at this one as I dont want to touch the one I have in my ST conversion!

Kev

Do you know how long i have been searching for a BEAMS TACHO

Big thanks MALPASO.

are you going to the PECM if so i ll buy you a beer somewhere.

I also need the part number for the brake actuator as the beams one is smaller than mine and mine fouls the timming cover so you know that one?

Kev

Put your higher octance fuel in, it makes so much difference.

and your right winter tyres for Dyno run prehaps not a good idea.

I ve de catted mine and running 98 octance fuel with lightweight pullies and i m getting nearer 200 bhp.

Also disconnect the aircon unit there is near 5 bhp without that.

Kev

I love my BEAMS too. Still aint got the Rev counter working tho. Big thanks to outsider for his help.

here she is in all her glory!!



Kev

I agree here with taking off the heat shield. I done that. I also sealed up the intake in the wing and followed the inner wing down to the large box behind the wheel/ front bumper.

I then cut a hole in the front. and with my veilside front bumper the cold air goes straight in the box and up to the air box mixed with a K&N panel filter seams to do the job for me very little if any heatsoak. i got 210 Bhp (btw i ve got a beams engine fitted to my ST and some lightweight parts). Its very noticable when it cold outside.

Kev

Well guys i ve just read this thread all the way through interesting reading.

Well the seed is planted in the UK through veilsideboy and Johnny our club meeting organiser.

I for one am definatley coming and will be bringing my wife.

we will organise from our end to be with ya for Friday 1200 - 1800 hours in Parma where you decide?

This is something that i cant see being repeated in the near future we want part of it too.

We re looking at over 5 cars all Gens (mainly Gen 6) and members but we will keep ya posted.

I will read this daily and post on our forum results and cost.

Kev

i did a full ST to GT swap UK cars and had to change the full wheel station to get the GT front disk in. the ST rear plate was just too small to house the GT disks.

have you any pics of swapping the GTs on to ST plates. Maybe its the US models are different.

i also stripped a SSII (completely) and they are the same size as the GT



Kev

Well thanks Gary. great link.

mm does this answer my question i dont know.

so with the differences on PON RON MON etc what do you run in my money?

Kev

i lived in Germany and i know they has 91 octane there and its as good as water the engines pink(dont know if ya get what i mean here) all the time.

why is our Octane rating different i m confused even more now!

I thought octane was octane a chemical term

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

But thanks for the post.

Kev

Hi guys,

Wot are the fuel octane rates over there with you?

Over there in the UK we can get 95,97, 98, and 99 octane depending on the garage used.

I ve just put a Beams engine in my Celica and run 98 Shell fuel (called V POWER) the engine is a Import straight from Japan. i know they run higher octane there and i thought you run lower octane over with you.

So what fuel do you run imports on? how do get around not being able to get 100 octane like in Japan?

I know this thread has a few questions. I am genuinely interested.

Kev

I ve just contacted the guy i got the engine of and he is sending the clocks over to me tomorrow.

Woo hoo

I am really BEAMING (like the pun)

Kev

the ignitor wires needed bridging. they are different on the ST from the Beams. so i needed to power the fuel rail and the injectors.

I got loads of help from Outsider (Club Member) and my wife who scanned the net for diagrams and the wiring pictures.

Took about 3 hours with a curcuit tester to find the wires. but when soldered the right ones together she fired and i took the vid.

Been out in the car all night WOW i love the difference.

the smoke is cos it was the first run and after oily hands all over it the oil was burning off.

Its awesome to drive just like the 45,000 mile engine it is.

and if ya think i m taking it for 1200 USD you kidding me you got no chance LOL

you guys seen this

re done the link try again

Kev

Hi guys,

well i just got it in and its running thanks to some advice from OUTSIDER about wiring. she is running so sweet.

Heres my history.

I bought the celica 3 years ago with 35,000 miles on it an a 7AFE a UK ST model
After a year i decided i wanted more power as we all do. so i got hold of a donor car in the shape of scrap UK GT with major side impact perfect for the swap.



I did the complete swap over a weekend starting friday night.

heres the 3SGE in my car



Well after running it with no problems for two years i craved a Beams.

I got one for a absolute bargain £600 (i dont know what that is in Dollars prehaps 900)



I got it last week and fitted it this week but it would start but not run.
So i searched for advice from all the forums and web pages and of course, i got the correct advice from here (Thanks Outsider)

Well I ve bored you enough heres the vid and some pics

enjoy

Kev

I ve already done a 3SGE Swap into my 7AFE no problem but i suggest you get a donor car as you need loads of bits and pieces.

If ya want any info feel free to pm me, i have just swapped that 3SGE for a BEAMS and with a few wiring probs its running as of today.

Kev

Beams all the way, i too had a 7afe in my celica when i bought it, i ve changed it to a beams and OMG its like awesome.

There are a lot of things to change besides the engine. SUch as tranny, radiator, accelerator cable, gear linkage, brakes inc rotors also add a strut brace to real feel the power.

I am sure there are loads of guys here who can advise on other swaps but its beams for me.

Kev

Yeh done that mate, i ve pm'd outsider and he has sent me some quality information when its running i ll post up a thread. I m trying it today.

Kev

Sorry to dig up old threads guys, so take this an a bump.

i ve just changed my engine to a beams and can t get it running. i m after some help please.

Its fully fitted in and cranks over but i m not getting any fuel to come through. I thought it was the toyota alrm stopping it but after reading this thread maybe i need to splice some wires!

Kev

Bit far for me to come and get it. or i would jump at the chance having bought 3 for spares in the past and made some serious money.

Kev

What are the power gains from adding a turbo to the 7A, I had a 7A and swapped it for a 3SGE for a 60 BHP upgrade i am still smiling and i believe the amount of work versus power was well worth it.
