Hello, my name is Ger aka ZGear from the Mid-West. Haven't really responded to this forum in all the years I've joined. Though I have supported this site in Minnesota with my 6gc passion.
My initial plans were to save up and buy a blacktop 4a, but in doing so I managed to come across a good deal on a 1st gen 3sgte locally. Whole motor without tranny and a few extra parts for a shiny nickel. My car, stock as ever for about 5 years.  Then an exterior renovation in 2007  Also an engine face lift  This is how she sat for half a year with a case of bad crank bearing.  ---------------------------------------------------------- Now for the good stuff: ---------------------------------------------------------- BCCentaur and associates: "Blizzard Tuning"  Sorry, wasn't able to do the signature Dr. Tweak pose.....  , but it is shiny!Not shown: deleted AC, power steering, and egr.  7afe Part-out time!  ----------------------------------------------------------- What will be going in........ Da Da Dum Dum  1st Gen 3sgte with a TRD low comp head gasket. Comes with a 6GC converted harness for a GT, now all I need is motor mounts, tranny, intercooler, bov, downpipe, seals, etc...... This will be my first turbo motor and a good learning experience before I play with the big boys. I'll try to update along with the progression. --------------------  |

Lower horse power rating at about 190-210, what a 7afte would produce under mild boost, but with the stronger 3sgte's internal components. Single-entry turbo, but I was told that the one on there is the twin-entry from the 2nd gen CT-26. Also W-to-A intercooled and equipped with TVIS, but on this motor the TVIS was blocked off. Bunch of what I read and researched, maybe the pros will shine in.

He will more than likely need the oil cooler stuff. Maybe the stock oil hard lines too, since the previous owner hacked that into pieces.
I honestly can't wait to see this thing up and running. It has been sitting for quit sometime. I miss the 10 feet launches lol!!!! -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

The stock 200 hp is good DD power for me, maybe 220 - 240 at a higher boost. Later down the road, with a rebuild and a different turbo set-up to maybe about 270-300.

This past weekend has been glorious. Although the MN crew did massacre a 6GC, but in doing so to save the lives of many 6GCs.
Smoked Tails. Anyone Want?  Came with side skirts! Alas, my car can bling.  Big no no on hood scoop. Although I see an intercooler.  Painted GT Alloys  Oh my! A second gen 3S. Unfortunately a mr2 owner will be getting this. There was rod-a-knockin.  Could of done a better job with the ground wire tuck.  AFm just flopping around the engine bay with a plastic bendable pipe.  Greddy Type RS Bov for the taking.  Hacked igniter  ------------------------------------------------------- MN 6GC crew at it. RunningLow, Muggs, and BCCCentaur. (not shown: ZGear "taking some pics")  Someone's Molded project becomes my worst nightmare project. Had to grind the paint and bondo to bare metal and fiberglass. The screws also were not the very best at come off again. By pulling a bit too hard the skirts did start to crack, still rebuildable.  About another 10 minutes into it with no progress.....hmmmmm I wonder why.  What!!!! Polyurethane was a pain to break off from the body.  ------------------------------------------------------- Auto To Manual  Shifter Assembly from the donor car  Drilled clutch pedal and mounted  Drilled master cylinder and mounted  Shifter cables over and out

So who was the owner of the donor car?
-------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Runnin-Low's buddy I guess.
The 2nd gen spun a rod in the donor car. So Zgear (Ger) will be installing the gt front spindle to accommodate the GT front brakes. And he will also be using the rear discs for his ST too. GER, I'm waiting for you to drop the harness of to me lazy ass!!! -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
