TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Heya I'm not a big fan of the CT9/12 but I believe they are interchangable, but personlly don't waste your money, save up for a T25/T28 and get a new manifold banged up ... now you can have a decent starting point on getting more power from your engine. One person I strongly recommend you getting in touch with would be Stasi, he is building up a 3ETE and his put on a T28BB from the latest S15. Somethings to watch out for when playing with your turbo etc... your fuel cut on the 3E is around 12.5psi, the ecu will have trouble at anything more... the thing is a lot of people I have spoken to have had little gains when using the stock setup for performance. 1, Front mount intercooler 2, Turbo + Manifold 3, larger injectors 4, ECU upgrade (something suited to older 4cyl turbo cars.. I don't know yet) 5, might want to consider internal work The best place to get ideas from is EP70/71 owners who have worked their 2ETE's ... which are 'small block' 3ETE's. Hope it helps, Tom P.S: Email extract from a starlet EP71 owner WELL DUDE ITS LIKE THIS I HAVE A 2ET WITH FORGED PISTONS AND RODS CUSTON INTAKE MANIFOLD CUSTOM EXHAUST MANIFOLD 65MM THROTTLE BODY SDS STAND ALONE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CUSTOM TURBONETICS T3/T4 HYBRID 60-1 + STAGE 3 .36 TURBINE BLITZ BLOWOFF VALVE 440 INJECTORS SPEARCO INTERCOOLER LIGHTNED FLYWHEEL RACING CLUTCH AND PRESSURE PLATE HKS WASTEGATE FULL JACOBS IGNITION SYSTEM WITH TIMING CONTROLS MSD FUEL PUMP 125 PSI AEROMOTIVE REGULATOR AKIMOTO HOSES MSD BTM I SQUEEZED OUT A LITTLE BIT OVER 315AT THE WHEELS ON 21 PSI SO I FIGURE IF I USE THE 3ETE AND BOLT ALL MY STUFF ON IT I COULD MAYBE GET ROUN' 360 WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF TORQUE MORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20v4agteEL31 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 i have one with a 20v in it, but most conversions i've seen have been 4efte. I bought mine with it done so I'm not the best to ask about this one. But, I can confirm that a 4age 20v turbo fits and works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMsGPTurbo Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) hi guys my names gareth and i just swapped my ute for a gp turbo can't find alot of info about these 3ete motors mines running really rough got a quote to fix it not to bad but i just don't know how much faith to put in these motors? would it be better to swap motor to a 4age or something about more sourced any info or point in the right direction will be appreciated. This is my forth corolla 2 sprinters and an ae82 twin cam thanks guys Hey Gareth, You're in unique position if you still have the 3ETE, as you can play around the E series toyota engines and basically make a 1.5ltr DOHC version of the 4EFTE - I don't know the exact details on how to do it, but I know you use the top end from a 4EFTE and leave the bottom end 3ETE. Anyhow, it all depends on the size of your wallet! (and the time the car can be off the road). As Andrew stated the 4EFTE is a straight forward swap - strong engine, a lot of options regarding parts. 4AG route - just look at Andrew's beast - maybe the fastest GP in Aust? As far as I know, no one has done the 3E/4E swap using the 3E block - most use the paseo 1.5ltr and fight over the 3ETE fly wheel. all the 5efte's are pretty crazy. Or keep it stock, restore the car and keep it as a collectable. The choice is yours! P.S: It's great to see another GP owner on the board. Also, if you decide to go down the route of swapping engines - try and keep the 3ETE, their pretty rare to find - I regret selling mine.

gp3e Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Does anybody know for sure weather the 4age would fit onto the gearbox straight up? Also a ct26 turbo off a supra etc. Is there a possibility one would fit the 3ete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
