[mak5603]

Damn, nice GT4

[SupraKid]

Very nice gt-4!!!Should be an awesome car!!

May i ask why you chose a 4th gen 3sgte to build instead of a 3rd gen?

This post has been edited by SupraKid: Nov 15, 2010 - 3:49 PM

[Remy]

LHD GT4 nice lol

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks

i decided to use the 4th generation for the following reasons

- coil on plug (cam angle sensor & crank angle sensor)
- allegedly no cooling ways between the cylinders (which can cause a cracked block), like the gen.3

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

just a picture of the adjustable cam gears

[Sunny]

Hi,

small update

2nd version of the fuel rail, now with damper



slightly modified water outled, AN6 water connector for the turbo



blanked throttle body connector



and who knows a gen.3 water outlet know the difference, there are no 1000 sensor in it just one for the ECU and combi meter



denso 850cc injectors



that is it, i just hope to buy the turbocharger in january or february

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

new post was comin in yesterday, gen5 throttle body and valve cover



the intake manifold has to be machined to so that the TB fit and it could be hard but the IC will possible fit with the valve cover

@ admin

meanwhile i think i'am a little bit wrong in the section, can you transfer the thread in the forces induction section? thanks

greetz

[Ted95]

very nice my friend. build looks great!

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks, but it takes so much time in R&D and to source the right parts, hopefull i will get the engine ready this summer.....

Switch to English since this is an English Forum:

Nice Project but I still want to see it
Maybe this summer if you have time.

[Sunny]

Hi Chico,

i'am sorry for the late reply, should i know you from a other forum?

there is no problem for a small meeting in summer, from where in austria are you?

You probably know my from the Toyotafan Forum, same Name as here

Ich bin aus der Steiermark aber eh recht viel unterwegs im Sommer.
Wär super wennst mal Zeit hättest für ein Meeting gibt ja eh einige im Sommer
Ps: kommst du eigentlich zum Mountain Rush? (is ja im Toyotafan Forum angekündigt worden)

Hi,

gut möglich, der name kommt mir bekannt vor.....

vielleicht, momentan lass ich mich dazu gerade überreden, genau weiß ich es aber erst kurz vorher

Jo würd mich freuen der Mountain Rush in Gosau wär ja top da kommen ja einige.

[malpaso]

Hi Alex
see you are everywhere . Just would like to ask what is benefit of gen5 throttle body and valve cover?

[Sunny]

Hi folks,

Gelesen hast ihn sicher schon mal

Jo würd mich freuen der Mountain Rush in Gosau wär ja top da kommen ja einige.

mal schauen wie sich alles ausgeht, versprechen mach ich noch keine.....

Hi Alex
see you are everywhere . Just would like to ask what is benefit of gen5 throttle body and valve cover?

Hi Martin, there are three problems to solve with the valce cover

- find one that fit the top mounted wta intercooler
- that fit with the gen.3 center feed throtthle body
- and i need threads for the COP setup

the gen.4 will 90% not fit in front of the side feed TB and the higher intake manifold they used so i decided to try a gen.5
cover as toyota went back to a center feed TB on the latest version of the 3S-GTE so there space in the TB area
and hopefull the intercooler will fit but i have a bad feel.....if no one works i will modify the gen.3 cover.....

in front of a talk to a friend which uses a haltech ECU on his engine i got told that the ECU can 't can controll the ISCV
100% well so i will go for a haltech and the gen.5 TB don't have the valve attached as it is mounted on the side of the
intake manifold, the other reason is that i can use a standart hose from intercooler to TB which i want if i will use a
phenolic intake spacer to get a safe fitted hose

i hope that answers your questions but feel free to ask

Hi,

update

more parts arrived me



- gen.4 oilpump
- crank position sensor
- tensioner and idlers
- water pump

the gen.3 part number delivers the plastic impeller pump with his way better design



corolla wrc exhaust manifold, 207spec





possible we modify the design to fit a T4 twin entry or we machine a adapter, the one thing that makes a adapter attractive is that we can change the position of the turbo so that he fit the IC again, but with a adapter there is one more gasket in the system -> one more thing that can faile

and today some pics from the SARD/ Denso 275L/H fuel pump

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

and here the SARD fuel pump, she is 99% plug&play you just have to use the delivered connector (same style like oem but with different pins), and she fit the rubber

theoretical she should be the strongest plug&play fuel pump on the marke



greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

little update

changed for a apexi 70mm exhaust pipework against 60mm blitz





Toyo R1R on oem facelift-wheels (225/45 R16)





next step is to reposition the battery, what fuse size would you guys advise to me?

greetz

This post has been edited by Sunny: May 10, 2011 - 1:10 PM

[Sunny]

Hi,

some threads are pressen in the boot for the battery





greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

job done, thanks for all advises 8)

i let the wire a little bit longer, you never know
cutting is possible everytime



there is a M8 thread next the batterie (thanks toyota), i blanked it to get a good connection



you can clearly see nothing even the wire is in a tube, i walked behind the relais box (relocated the box ~1cm to get enough space) through a unused rubber into the fender



into the engine bay in direction old battery pole



and pressed the connection, here i also deciced a longer wire as to much could change in the engine bay



next week i should get the black diamond brakes, perfect as there is a bigger toyota event on weekend 8)
and i also pick up the repaired blitz hybrid turbo

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

the black diamond brakes are installed, where the hell are my brakes









in front of that the surface is still black you see that i doesn't tested them yet but i hope they work well

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

yesterday i saw that my ic-prerad is leaking
looks like the time has come to build a uprated custom radiator, i just have one alu-welder as a friend hopefully he can help me

greetz

[Ted95]

how much did them tires run you? ive been lookin at gettin a pair for track tires, u like them?

[NYp8tBaller07]

Want your rims...just sayin

[Sunny]

Hi,

did you mean the white facelicft rims? just ask for them in the marketplace

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

here we have the damapde radiator

overview



here we see good clasps



here one that leak soon



and here one that is damaged



i think the age is the reason

i now have a masterplan for the upgrade IC and a alu-welder so i just need a radiator core and we can start the job

greetz

[Batman722]

looking damn good.

[delusionz]

hows that gen 3/4/5 hybrid cooler,valve cover & tb setup going?

[Sunny]

Hi,

hows that gen 3/4/5 hybrid cooler,valve cover & tb setup going?

unfortunetely i can't can tell you the exact setup for now, i also have to
learn by doing so after the build i can tell you

is there any special question you have i can possible answer yet?

here the story why i stock the parts

- a gen.3 cover do not have the COP mountings, a gen.4 cover have them but in front of the side mounted manifold there is no space for the TB when using
a center feed manifold, a gen.4 intake manifold is also higher -> so this is why i decided to buy a gen.5 cover as i use a gen.3 manifold with the ready mounted
water injection valve, and i will use the TTE intercooler also on the new engine

- the gen.5 TH was cheap and do not use the idle controll valve -> i possible go with a haltech valve -> so the setup should be more professional

Hi,

today i received the upgrade intercooler front radiator, now i just have to weld mountings on him and build a air channel, it is a 3row 2flow one with 50mm depth against, 38mm 2row 2flow of the OEM one





if everthing goes right i become my car ready next week 8)
here the company who build the radiator

1A quality

[SupraKid]

It shocks me that this is probably one of the best performance builds we have EVER had on this site, but yet no one seems to really post and show interest. Really shows the mentality of the members on this site.


Anyway this is breathtaking build and this will be one of the meanest best all around built gt4s on this site when its done! Good luck man and I'm subscribed to this thread

[Sunny]

Hi,

omg, thanks for your compliment

greetz

[malpaso]

Is this upgraded charge cooler pre-rad???

[Sunny]

Hi Martin,

Is this upgraded charge cooler pre-rad???

correct, my OEM unit began to drain water so i deciced to go with a custom radiator without clasps that can go wrong, one row more to get more cooling and more water in the system.
all in all i hope to win especially the new pre rad should fit the TTE intercooler better, and i also hope for a lower start ampere consumption of the water pump as the new radiator should
lower the backpressure, now it goes up to nearly 30A at start up which is really the maximum for relays, fuses and wires, the reason for that is the TTE intercooler with his different radiator core

i hope i doesn't write to much

greetz

Hi,

the project is on the road again, the upgrade IC + shroud is mounted















the water becomes a little warm but after all i doesn't have a infrared temp.meter but possible i can get one

greetz

[delusionz]

I kept the standard W2A intercooler setup, from what everyone on this site says, is the best setup.

However at a recent GT4 meet I found all the guys who have changed to a regular FMIC all say there is no loss in the low end and major gains from the mid range up.

I was actually shocked when I looked at mine how restricted it is inside there to be honest, I'm thinking maybe a frozenboost item may be the way to go?

[Sunny]

Hi,

unfortunetly i'am not really using a standart setup
- jabsco 80L/h pump
- TTE group a spec intercooler
- and now the new front radiator

your WTA intercooler is restricted? or your air to air?
what is a frozenboost item? -> liquid nitrogen or ice cubes? -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJR62vsAg-0

Hi,

small subjective report, the performance is constant up to the may rpm. like a cool day in spring or fall

but nothing is for free, i have ~5°C higher oil temp. against the oem pre-rad, so the oil can raise up to ~100°C whe i drive hard

looks like the next mod will be a street under panel, to get more air out of the engine bay

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

more parts,

headstuds & spark plugs
Denso IK01-24





HKS 1,2mm headgasket



ATS Spec2, 1 plate carbon clutch, 1900kg plate, max.500PS





the next is to adjust camber & toe on both front and back wheels, i'am in need to cut the old bolts and to polybush the arms

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks, me too i also want to see it finished, it could be hard but in front of some personal changes i changed from a long time step by step build to a target time project
which is (late) summer 2012. we will see there is a lot of parts buying, development and building left.....

Damn... fingers crossed mate. I know it is not easy to hold big project and finish it on time.

[Sunny]

Hi Martin,

thanks
oh yes, i think you can tell us a story, but the most important think is that i will be a good finish

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

some things are done, i bought a cheap used TRD gauge cluster surrounding becouse a little bit bling bling is allowed





one of my targets for this year was to adjust the rear suspension but after 16year no toe adjusting was possible any more so i deciced to buy a set of pu-bushings, worked out the whohle arm and pressed in ne new ones, for that you have to dismount the longitude arm, the problem was the bolt when i opened him the whole bolt with the buching turns which means i destroyed it so i also had to pu-bush it but i doesn't want to dismount everything so i build a tool for that work









it works perfect and when it becomes to strong just heat it a little bit, but just to press the old one out

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

small update

a modified underpanel with the target to raise the air flow trough the radiators and the engine bay





a small plate to protect the gearbox radiator connectors



tomorrow i will mount a fire-extinguisher, and then it is enough for this year

greetz

[Rusty]

TRD gauge surround, nice find

[match220]

wow..looks great

[kormysh8]

Whaaat. Just seen this build, and WOW buddy good job!!

[Spetsnaz]

Looking awesome! Wish I had cash and knowledge to do same kind of modifications to my GT-Four.

I know, priorities, priorities...

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks a lot, more updates soon

i'am curently waiting for the modified head, next on the list is a modified OEM throttle body, and i started to work on the engine again

feel free to drop me any question

[ricochet1490]

One of the best build threads out here. Impressive. 400whp? haha

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks, 400whp could be hard to arrive in front of the 4WD and his drivetrain loses, but i'll give my best to get the maximum out

[ricochet1490]

haha by the looks of it you are definitely trying to get everything out of it that's for sure. keep it up!

[Ted95]

I'm really interested in trying to further cool my engine, I was curious about the SARD breather tank and where you have it installed, have an pics? Did you notice a difference?

[Sunny]

Hi,

here some pics for you, i cutted the lower part of the radiator cap on the radiator to allow water/air flow to the tank











the limited space is the competition, i decided to use this location becouse there was space but on the negativ side there are the long hose ways

a breathing system is a good way to get air out of the cooling system especially when you use a 2flow or 3flow radiator, but it does not really effect the cooling,
even it do (must) there was no noticeable difference


the biggest advantage gives you a pipe instead a hose from the radiator to the thermostat, a hose pulls together and can effect the water flow up to 70% under high revolutions
and a fully opened thermostat



greetz

This post has been edited by Sunny: Nov 15, 2011 - 4:24 PM

[Ted95]

that came out pretty good. now i kno the breather tank wouldnt cool the engine that much, if any at all. did you notice anything with the oil radiator you installed? im goin to install a water/meth kit this winter and try and get some cooling panels and such, i guess im just trying to get the most out of my 3s with out tearing into it.

[Sunny]

Hi Ted,

i'am sorry but can you explaine me what "out tering into it" means, my enslish in not good enough to understand

the oil radiator works fine with the thermostat i have oil temps from ~80-100°C

here we go, create as much pressure as possible in front of the radiator package and as less as possible in the engine bay to get the maximum air flow

a channel raise the pressure in front of it and a under panel with openings and tear off edges that look in the air flow under the car lowers the pressure in the engine bay, do you
ever had a look to the bonnet air escape.....you will note that the tear off edge in front of it is not so high as the backside, this is not a ideal design becouse air will escape just in the
front 1/3, air enters in the other 2/3, also the car angle of inclination effect this

i build this to solve it

http://www.turbocelica.nl/forums/thread.ph...sid=&page=3

i'am sorry imagehack doesn't work for now

greetz

[SwissFerdi]

^ He means that he doesn't want to take apart the motor too much.

[Ted95]

wow thats a great thread, im very impressed i must say.

and ya i dont want to take the motor apart and get bigger internals, im trying to get the most out of my celi with just bolt ons and such. im going to try and get better air flow now even with my front mount intercooler, going to have to try and make sure i get as much air to it as possible. thanks for the info!

[Sunny]

Hi,

i understand, thanks

you do the same like a friend of mine, he optimize his 3S-GTE wherever it goes

here a quick list of what i remember

- JDM ECU -> 100octane mapping
- TTE top mounted intercooler
- water injection
- 3" downpipe
- 100CPI cat
- aluminium radiator
- engine oil radiator

and now he plan do work with adjustable cam gears on oem camshafts

greetz

[Ted95]

thanks for the info!

whats next for your beast?

[Sunny]

Hi,

you are welcome

the main part for now is to strip down the engine to get the bores measured and now i'am in contact with cp-carillo for a set of rods and pistons
sub work for now is port work on the head and his water ways, and then i'll possible do a modified oem throttle body

should be enough for the winter

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

Ted, there is another thing you can do to improve your cooling system i forget last time

anti freeze has a very low specific heat capacity and dramatically decrease the heat transfer of you cooling liquid,
demineralised water has the higest specific heat capacity of all liquids and no one ever developed a better liquid for cooling

the last years i drive the following ration 1:1,5 + 2% miller extra cool (2% of the water amount)
i noticed faster temp drops in the oil system after hard road driving, and also saw the liquid faster arriving operation temp.

do not drive just with water in front of rust, further tip -> reuse the old cooling liquid if she is ok, every fresh water brings new air in the system

greetz

[RoyO]

I just read your whole project topic, you've done interesting modifications!
A lot of custom work Keep it up..

[Sunny]

Hi Roy,

thanks, i keep it up for you

íf it is ok for you i will answer your PM in here

i didn't use intercooler fans becouse i found them useless and it just means more complexitiy, a fan is typically needed there where not enough air can flow -> slow speeds and corners
the trick with the water is to use his high specific heat capacity! and the other thing is a pushing fan just has ~70% power of a equal pulling fan * wich means i had to mount the fans
behind the radiator but there is just ~1cm space to the oil coolers, so there is simple not enough space

* the fan direct the air in rotation and some mm later she must through the straight fins of the radiator, the air doesn't want this and create a backpressure -> a drop in efficiency is to follow

for you oil cooler project i can advise you to use a greedy thermostatic adapter, the advantage is that he also uses sensor ports

i bought a ST205 specific HKS SSQV kit, so i had everything i need to mount the BOV -> air box blanking, flange, further installation parts

but it looks like you have a very fine machine shop, your work looks perfect

greetz

[RoyO]

Ok, I knew pulling fans are more efficient then pushing fans but I didn't realise you installed the oil coolers that close to the IC rad.
Space is always the problem haha I always use genuine Toyota red coolant, but I'll try your mixture next time..

for you oil cooler project i can advise you to use a greedy thermostatic adapter, the advantage is that he also uses sensor ports

I already installed my Blitz sensors alongside the oil filter: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...mp;#entry944309
So I'm going to buy a thermostatic adapter without the sensor ports. But thanks anyway

Hi Roy,

space is the only problem of our cars
the radiators are mounted instead of the A/C condenser





thats is a great sensor mounting position, why doesn't find myself the position too

greetz

are one of those radiators, replacing the A/C condenser?
or do they serve different purposes (oil/trans cooling)

**EDIT- I guess what I am asking is if you got rid of the A/C compressor, or replaced it**

I was looking into getting rid of my A/C condenser and replacing it with a smaller cooler like the ones you have placed in front of the radiator.

hope i have explained everything ok!
thanks

This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Jan 23, 2012 - 3:06 AM

[Sunny]

Hi,

i understand what you want to ask

i droped the A/C condenser so i will not usw A/C any more, a compromise that i decided becouse i never often used it, i want a good radiator position and also a good oil line routing in the car where they are more safe from
crashes becouse of this we relocated the lower mountings of the water radiator to get the maximum gap between radiator and chassis

left on the picture is the engine oil radiator and right the smaller gearbox one

let me know if threre is still anything left

greetz

[Tigawoods]

yeah that answered all my questions! thanks!

[k-weaver]

Looks awesome!

Hi,

thanks mate, will do a update once some more parts arrived me

[sketchie]

Hey there,
First can I say well done with your project looks great. I'm planning on moving my battery to the boot. What do I need and what size cable do I need?

Thanks Ed

[Sunny]

Hi,

thanks a lot for your compliment, you need the following parts
have a look to this homepage

http://www.gtfours.co.uk/

-> how too -> relocate the battery

if i remember correctly i'am using a 35mm² wire and a 120A fuse on the battery (-> RS-components fuse holder)

hope it helps

greetz

[Sunny]

Hi,

today more parts arrived

86,25mm, CR=9:1, ~334g





and the h-beam conrods, ~584g







nearly to shiny to built in, possible i give them in the glass cabinet :lol:

next on the whis list is the turbo and then i hope that i can built everything together as easy i dismounted all

greetz

[RoyO]

Very nice upgrades! What turbo do you want?

nearly to shiny to built in, possible i give them in the glass cabinet :lol:

[Sunny]

Hi,

it is still a option for me

greetz

[CelicasMan1]

Hi Sunny.
Your project is perfect,but why you didn't buy WOSSNER pistons and WOSSNER connecting rods?They have lower weight.

[Sunny]

Hi,

sorry for the late reply and thanks for you compliment

i had a few phone calls to wössner, and i also compared the weight there isn't a big difference but iirc CP-Carillo was a bit lower in weight
i think it simple was a matter of taste why i decided to go with CP-Carillo, or possible the fact that a good friend drives wössner in his engine
and i want something different to bring some color in the game

.....hope for some updates soon

Hi,

small update,

uprated oem water pump

the following two pictures shows the axial clearance without gasket

oem, is ~2mm + 0,5 for the gasket



and here the machined one, 0 clearance without gasket (target clearance of 0,5mm with gasket)



i also machined all edges, good to see the two angles of the oem plastic impeller pump seat



and here a comparison of the two different pump housings, gen.3 GTE with the two angle seat and gen.4 with the simple one angle stainless variant



and here a how to do,

all 3S engines from gen.3 onward uses the simple stainless pump except the gen.3 GTE
i found that the stainless pump housing has enough material to machine the two angle seat at the target clearance so you need both housings, one where you get the angels measured and stainless pump housing to machine it
we did it on CNC turning machine, and was in need to built a bracket becouse the housing isn't able to get fixed centric without, then we measured the angles and programmed it

it takes ~2hours and cost me 100€, absolute ok i think
feel free to drop me any question if needed

I want that aluminum panel that bolts under engine bay looks so nice!! Great build can't wait to see it all come together. Patience is a necessity but it looks like its coming together great! A+ work on all custom pieces

You've done nice custom work again!! I'm very curious about the rest of the build..

Hi,

just some small things are done

some high heat screws for the manifold





and a selfmade tower bar, so it is easier for me to weld on mountings if i'am in need





a bigger update soon once the block is back from the builder

maschined intake manifold to fit the smaller haltech IAT thread
