June 3, 200917 yr comment_349530 theres a guy over here in NZ that has a gen3 in his carina race car (n/a tho). ive always stayed away from the 3s cause every rwd one ive seen running rwd (not counting altezza's) has run a bearing, but now i know you can just use a acusump to fix that dope ride man, i've love to take it for a spin Report
June 3, 200917 yr comment_349543 .....dope ride man, i've love to take it for a spin ......Yeah but you'd friggen break it!!!! :bash: Report
June 3, 200917 yr comment_349582 nah it all looks strong enough for a beating si... accusump = basically a surge tank for oil, to keep oil pressure at all times Report
June 3, 200917 yr Author comment_349610 you mean a dry sump setup, the problem lies in the fact that the standard sump on them is meant to be at an angle, and even then they hold very little oil, the beams sump holds a fair bit more, is dead flat, has a much better baffle and pickup design and when overfilled shows no obvious reason for failure, even if oil does pool in the head, which it only really does because of the shear angle the things are at in a fwd setup, in rwd it acts no differently to any other engine Report
June 3, 200917 yr comment_349612 Freakin' awesome. Heaps of respect your way for actually attempting the 3S-GTE RWD setup, and even more for using an ST205 motor. I like! Report
June 3, 200917 yr comment_349642 not really a dry sump, more of a pressure valve with resivoir so if you suck up air it keeps feeding oil, big sump should do, mine holds 5L before the oil cooler Report
June 4, 200917 yr Author comment_349776 a mate of mine has put a gen 3 3sgte into a rav4, and he basically speaks of nothing about oil problems, he basically obsesses with 3s and has built many including 700+hp examples and he rarely talks about oiling issues. He says the standard block and internals are good for almost 450hp and thats reliable street driven power. Report
