You need also the tank of a GT4.
Don't forget also to cut the back floor panel.

Sorry, maybe I am not so clear.

When I told that the block of the 3SGTE it's not so strong in comparison with the EVO, I mean that my engineer (BARBARIS) with his GT4 - more than 600HP on the wheels- above the 1.9 - 2.0 bars he has a lot of problems with the block- it chaps.
At the same time the EVO at the same boost from the same tuner it 's OK...

Any way, I will visit CYPRUS Magic as soon as possible, because I am very impressed with the tuners from CYPRUS this summer.

As for the gearboxs, the C-ONE is just perfect ....

Well I just become father yesterday… I will start to search for a baby sport seat for my son now….

Magic, the bottom end it’s from a BEAMS VVTI 3SGE engine.

Until now we had broke a lot of 3SGTE blocks (include the caldina version) when we push the boost above the 1.9 – 2.0 bars.
We try the bottom end of the BEAMS VVTI 3SGE block because we know that the latest COROLA WRC had a turbo conversion of the BEAMS VVTI 3SGE engine.

In comparison with the EVO, the TOYOTA 3SGTE engine it’s better engine but it has one weakness. The block it’s not so strong…

All the internals is from HKS, no stroker kit.
The bottom - end of the block is from a N/A SS-III.
Until now we have a lot of promblems with the bottom - ends. We have try any version of the 3SGTE and we found that the block from the SS-III is the stroger.

I the next days I will post complete details of the modifications with photos and videos.
But my enginner has his secret...

Tufy I believe Barbaris is still running with standard gearbox, but he plans to install a XTRAC 6 speed gearbox.

We wasted a lot of dates on the dyno and the on the road, programming the ECU so that we achieve the curves of the torque and power that I wanted, putting in second order the absolute numbers.
Our target was to have the maximum torque above the 6.500 rpm - to take advance of the C-ONE close mission – without a power flow so that we can have a driveable car especially on the corners.

The curve of the torque is depends mainly from the duration of the cams and from the programming of the ECU.
I am sure that you will have seen cars as the AUDI turbo, with constant torque from 1.000 rpm until the 6.000 rpm….
Also how fast is a car it’s not depend only from the horsepower, but mainly form the way and that he puts the power on the street.
Until now I have overtake EVO’s with more than 600Hp on the wheels…
But as everybody knows, I know that will be always a … celica faster than me…( my engineer’s GT4 makes low 10’s in the quarter….)

After one year I just complete the engine modifications .
I have now 400 Hp on the four wheels( about 500Hp from the engine at the 1.5 bar).
Togethet with the C-ONE's close mission it's very easy to overtake any EVO or SUBARU.
The acceleration it's tremendous, with no lag at all.

I will post later images of the engine.

I believe that the celica GT4 it's the last true sport car....
