NEW BEAMS OWNER, joined the 3sge crew Options

[94GreenLantern]

I am now a proud owner of a BEAMS! i know there hard to find parts for them but can anyone give me the hookups to find parts! i done alot of research before jumping into this project so please don't come on here and tell me to search! if you cant tell, i am pretty excited about this and i cant wait to have it in and running! im just happy writing!

the answer to all of your questions! ha ya I think you did jump into it a bit to quickly

[Rusty]

congrates, and welcome to our 3sge family

do you have any info eg what it came from what you get with it etc.

[94GreenLantern]

it is a complete swap, ecu, downpipe, mounts, fuseboxes, **** linkeage, shifter with knob(i have TRD shifter), axles(the boot is torn on one), fuel pump, HKS air filter. i need to upload the pictures to a website first before i can post pictures.

[sugarfree]

Some of the OEM parts are from the v6 3.0 motors. Such as the MAF, the vvt-i solenoid, possibly the o2 sensor also. Welcome to the fam.

welcome, it takes patientce.

**** linkeage

Sucks that your linkage is sh!t.

Congratulations, post pics! And what's your timeframe for installing this bad boy? It would be AWESOME, and I reiterate, AWESOME, if you could bring this to our next FL meet, which should be happening sometime mid-summer.

[njccmd2002]

i rebuilt the axles, and they are working, I took my car for a ride today, with no exhaust, and its crazy!!!

If you need help let me know... read my post and dont make same mistake i did...

[SwissFerdi]

^ And no video?!?!?!? I am disappoint.

jaja i guess i forgot the F, oh well, umm i think im planning to have it done in the summer. Dont worry, im pretty sure im going to harass some members with a lot of questions.

check page6 of my post

[94GreenLantern]

so if i want to do maintenance things to the motor while its out, like timing belt, what car should i ask for parts from??

[Smaay]

join celicatech and host pictures there.

[Rusty]

how many kms has it done? oh wait 10 years yeah best change them then


ask for a SS3 (E-ST202-BLMZF 98) you might find it diffacult since they weren't available where you are, check with other USA BEAMS swaper's where they got theres.

[94GreenLantern]

They told me 60k, but who really knows right, well the beams is in, just have to figure out this wiring now...

[SwissFerdi]

Siiiick! Think you'll be able to bring it to the FL meet?

[94GreenLantern]

Well I don't know, i just finished all the connections and it's turning over but won't start...

[Rusty]

firstly are you getting a spark?

secondly you where asking about a timing belt, did you change your timing belt? If you did, are you right?? (I remember 2bcelica had trouble staring his and had idling problems due to the timing was out)

[94GreenLantern]

No I never did change the timing belt... As for spark, not really, I tried using starter fluid to see if it will start and it doesn't come on

[94GreenLantern]

i found oil in the spark plugs... that cant be good, i put in new ones while cleaning the oil out, and i am still having problems starting it

maybe during shipment the engine fell over or tipped upside down leaving oil in the chambers. but as for the not starting i have no idea bc it should still fire. post some pics i wanna see this beast. where did you get your engine i was wanting to get one as well

[njccmd2002]

yeah, any luck?

[94GreenLantern]

Yeah, motor is up and running now but I can't get the rpm gauge to work... And I'm trying to get that figured out before I start posting videos

[Rusty]

the beams enbgines requires a working vvti rpm guage. either in the form of the vvti white guage or
the 3rd gen 3sge rpm guage (would seem sensible since this revs up from 0-7,000rpm and stops at 9,000rpm rather than the USDM one??) with some form of control box to switch the rpms signal over for the BEAMS ecu to understand.

trying to find the link regarding that info , which is on this forum somewhere

[Batman722]

you can either use a Beams RPM counter or use the one you already have in your car.
To make yours work you need a tach signal adapter.
The beams ECU uses a 5V signal for the rev counter and the non-Beams celicas use a 12V signal.

so either get a Beams cluster and swap out the rev counter or get a tach signal adapter.

[94GreenLantern]

I swapped in a BEAMS rpm gauge, and it still doesn't work... I swapped in the rpm before I swapped the motor so I would already have it but it ended up not working

[njccmd2002]

thats odd... mine worked flawless.

[Rusty]

check the wiring then, maybe somethings not connected??

[94GreenLantern]

Well I doubt the wiring is messed up, the cluster was reading accurate before motor swap, does anyone mind sending me there cluster so I can conclude that it's the rpm gauge that doesn't work
