Let me humbly introduce a few 6gc from my club..., Pics are dark, but have a look.... . Options

I think I may have to buy a new digi cam soon... .

This a ST204 with a 3S-GTE(3rd gen) swap using mr2's MT gearbox... I tried taking the engine pics, but couldn't see anything... .


EDIT: This is his 3S-GTE 3rd gen engine.... .



This is a ST204 with a 3S-GTE Direct Coil(Caldina) swap using Caldina's AT gearbox... triptronic workable as well.... .


EDIT: This is his 3S-GTE DirecCoil engine....

Hey Lar-, really great cars. They all look awsome

I have a question about the direct coil 3sgte. Can you provide a link or give more info on it. What is the difference from the standard st205 3sgte?
Looking at the pics the only difference I noticed is the intercooler.
Thanx

Thanx!! _rz_.... .

It's very little info, but this is the only link(with closer pics) I have... .
3s-gte direct coil

Just to add to the link...
=> Yes... The TMIC is different... and it's air-to-air not water-to-air.

=>The Throttle body is side-way(to the right)... A little wider throttle mouth as well.

=> Direct-Coil as is each cylinder has its own individual ignition coil... no more distributor cap... no more spark plug wires.... i.e. Less ignition energy power loss.

=> The Exhaust Manifold is totally different, you can't see it in the pic because of the heat shield.
It is actually a one whole molded piece with the turbo exhaust turbine housing.... I'm not sure if you can imagine the picture.
It's like the exhaust manifold+turbo exhaust turbine housing, but in one whole complete piece.
IMO, this is a very interesting Exhaust Manifold design.... . The exhaust from the engine can sweep straight to the turbo turbine very very quickly to spool up boost.

=> New Jettronic Injectors... .

=> 5 more horse power(260hp) than the 3rd gen 3s-gte(255hp).... .

The rest are the same.... engine block... engine head... valve size... 86mm piston... etc...

Cheers...
