Cheers Yeah, I'm not much into looks, if you want to swap rocker covers we could probably do that, you would have to pay all costs though. I have a fairly overrated set of plug leads spare, I payed $50 for them, you can have them for that, I'd put them in with the rocker cover. Completely up to you, thanks for your interest in my car.

machg Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Having interesting dramas with 'factory' 3tgte setup, will let pictures explain... ... dump pipe can only be bolted 1 way to turbo, looking at 3tgte pics, turbo is facing the correct way in engine bay, it physically fits O.K. but there is no clearance between exhaust manifold and dump pipe. Before I get grinder out and force it to fit, why has this happened? Maybe its a "late" CT20 turbo on an "early" 3tgte exhaust manifold? Please help, have just about got everything sorted to turbo it, now this shit happens. :dance: Edited April 11, 2009 by machg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Why is the dump pipe pointing up? I don't think you have the right one! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Rochester Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Idealy, all of your 3T-GTE bits would be from a actual 3T-GTE motor (TA63 Celica / Carina/ Corona). And in this case, the dump pipe would be facing down, as someone has said. Clearly your turbo or dump pipe is off something else, as it faces differently. Maybe you should call up som Toyota wreckers/importers around Australia to see if they have any 3T-GTE stuff. Or put a wanted notice up on Toymods. Or, custom dump pipe.

machg Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys, went back to seller, he agrees, its not a 3TGTE dump pipe, hopefully the 3TGTE one will be one the way soon. Picked up the MT-4, loom and 3TGTE manifold complete with everything needed to wire her up, WOOOOOOHOOOOOO! Getting real excited now, can see some sneaky late night exhaust-system-less runs coming. LOL Then maybe transplant of driveline into something slightly more modern and less ugly... Edited April 13, 2009 by machg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machg Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 A bit unusual for me, but I actually bought NEW parts today! LOL Seals for the 3tgte injectors. Total cost less than $10! How "un-dodgy" is that? Not my usual style at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you "jesus" you have taught me much about life, death, engine swaps and general dodginess, LOL, your sacrifice will allow "lazarus" to live on... Interesting info (and cheeky preview) for all: TE72 and AE71 wagon wheel bases appear to be absolutely identical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
