Finishing up 2slow2nervous's 3SGTE Swap, What a nightmare! Options

[x_itchy_b_x]

You don't have to remove the head to replace the valve seals.
Guides yes.
Seals no.

Yes there is a tool that can hold the valves in place with air but you still have to remove the timing belt to remove the cams so you can remove the springs and change the seals.

^^^--- So True.

[2slow2nervous]

[playr158]

CT27 www.atsracing.net

its a stock turbo upgrade good for up to 300whp

and that turbo isn't it a GT35? I've seen that motor on MR2oc got pics in the personal gallery

its a gt42r

this is his new setup. he was running a blowzilla (t4/gt40) before. his timing belt slipped and he bent a valve, which ultimatly opended pandoras box.

hes shooting for 1000whp. he should get it pretty easy.

i wouldn't say "pretty" easily since it takes a fairly large budget and enormous amount of work to get that much from these motors

I believe his whole point is that with his fairly large budget and enormous amount of work that he's putting into it, he should get it pretty easy.

bingo!

everything is built for it. all hes got to do at this point is finish up the little things, get a tune and push the gas pedal.

hes running gas this year and supposedly alcohol next year. not sure yet.

all i know is i can't wait to get a ride in it.

[2slow2nervous]

yea that car sounds like its gonna be sick as hell. Maybe someday i can get that much hp outa my celica!!! lol

Got your car back yet 2slow?

Angrymike - I have an MR2 friend who is in the market for a WTA IC. How much would you make a copy of that setup for? Let me know what other other parts he would need [ie pump, heat exchanger etc.] Also where would he mount the heat exchanger? In the now unused side scoop where the stock IC was?
We were thinking to get our hands on a ST-205 setup but if yours is cost effective this may be the better wya to go. It appears to have temendous volume but it's hard to tel from those pics.
