self explanatory

sump and box ready to go in, sump needed some mods, its original home was a beams

shot of engine, note clutch

turbo oil return, i match ported it on the inside and everything so it flows nice

 

 

hoarding begins

what started off like this

ended like this

 

 

.

 

picked up sponsorship from the good people at bendix

engine mounts

 

 

more images to post but its merging my posts and saying i have too many images, so if someone could post so i could post some more would be great.

Keep up the pics :y:

can see the fuel cell how low it sits, kinda blurry, its actually higher than ive seen, but much lower than alot of people i have seen just mount it in the boot

with no recess at all.

braced my panard for the hell of it

fuel cell mounted, need to trim straps there

snug is one word that comes to mind

 

making the exhaust on the weekend, bought 2.5 inch stainless and some bends and stuff, should come out good.

Another post from me to help you post pics :y:

 

What sort of power do you expect from the 3SGTE and how hard would you rate the conversion to do? Just curious :)

i want around 200kw at the treads, if not more,

 

pit of a prick of a conversion, but it suits me,

 

could have gone sr or something like that, but i didnt really want to,

the gen 3 3sgte is a really underrated engine, comes with forged internals

and ballanced bottom end from the factory, bullet proof, makes good torque nice

and early with a nice curve for both torque and hp, holds revs, doesnt have

dodgey valve setups, and not cross breeding.

Very nice.

 

I wondered if that sheet metal panhard mount might have been flimsy.

 

With all the modding going on I thought you might putt in watts link stuff?

 

:y:

watts linkage isnt viable with so little travel,

 

any benifit you have is thrown away with play in double the amount of bushes,

 

equal length 4 links with rose joints, decent setting and stuff is more than enough.

Good to see so much progress, Haven't seen it in a while.

 

You still hit archy from time to time?

I'm going to be there this friday but havnt been there since that last compy, basically pulled my car apart the next day,

 

but itll be back in action before too long, around 2 months or something, ive said that a few times, but now it actually looks like it.

Yeah, That was the last time I went too, lol

 

Will have to catch up then..

good to see you the other day justin,

 

good arvos work here

Great choice of engine mate,

This is going to be one hectic ride when your done

Keep the pictures and info coming, your giving me expensive ideas :P

Bealy!

This is turning into one of the most wild rides on Rollclub. This will give toyota respect in the turbo 2L's you better spank those datto powered rollas !! :P

What an absolute weapon.

 

Not many people do the RWD 3SGTE thing. I looked into it years ago and I found very few people had tried it.

as far as i have noticed i have not seen 1 person put in a gen 3, into an 86 ke70 te70 or anything like that, no starlets and stuff,

so as far as I'm concerned gen3 is a world first :bash:
