definetly mechanic, my mechanic is the god of the 3sgte swap... he has done it in every gen celica including the new celica, imagine a 7th gen celica with 3sgte running 540 to the wheels.... it cost me 9k for everything... $2k labor $6.7k parts. $300 for 3 hours of dyno tunning. FYI: my intercooler core came from one of the evos used in 2 fast 2 furious. They had 5 evos. Mine came frome the one that they used to bust threw the gates to get the cigar from the ferrari. if you pause the movie you can see that it wreked it's front pumper... he took the intercooler, cut off the broken part and used it to make my core... he wrote abou it... check it out
Custom Intercooler building tech article. i reccomend you post it on the site.... since it is for a 6th gen celica. my mod list is in my profile .... but here it is again 1. 3rd generation 3sgte Engine and Tranny from a mr2 turbo. 2. Custom Front mount intercooler 3. Greddy Profac B Spec II Electronic Boost controoler. 4. Greddy Full Auto Turbo Timer 5. SDS EFI 4f Coil system with backlit display. 6. Custom 3" Exhaust system with Magnaflow Performance Tip. 7. HKS Super Sequntail Blow off Valve. 8. Haulmeter's Digitail Air/Fuel Gauge 9. Wallbro Supra Fuel Pump 10. Unorthodox Racing underdrive Pulley This post has been edited by XXX_Mina: Dec 17, 2003 - 1:21 AM |

so far, i beat a 3000gt LS, Turboed Prelude at stock boost, which is 9.8 PSI... 250hp to the wheels.... my mechanic beat a corvette at 18psi... 295 to the wheels. ive only had it for 4 days...
funniest **** thou.... this 240sx came up from behind me wanting to race like a mofo, i catch up: he hears the BOV, and goes "Sorry, sorry... didnt know it was turbo" by the way, there is a wastegate or boostcontroller problem, we cant turn the boostup past 18psi, but once we do, we should get some more power out of it.

That is awesome. How long did the swap take, just to get the engine working in your car? I might have to drive down to FL for it if the guy is that good.

Woooow.....i have to post again just cuz this is such an incredibly well done swap...
So who is your mechanic?? Is it a tuning company with a site or just somebody you know? Give us some more info in case i get the money sometime down the road to do this. Hmmm...i could stay with family down in Florida for a while, get everything swapped in and drive back home a very happy person....or just stay in florida where the weather is warm all the time to enjoy such an amazing engine...lol Sorry, im thinking aloud. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

OK... the shop is called JAMASCO auto repair... they do everything: from oil changes to turboing celicas ..... you can see some of his work HERE (2001 Celica with 3sgte) the guy you need to talk to is Jayson. it took 5 weeks, but they were understaffed for 2 weeks. Its a family shop, run by 3 brothers : Jayson, Marc, and Scot: thats where the name JA MA SCO comes from. i got the engine from thier uncle
. you can see how clean the installation is.. they had a 5th gen thats been swaped for 3 years and is still running fine: it was there getting a turbo upgrade. if you need any more info , just call them: 9549859958. they have also worked on 2fast 2 furious. when it comes to this swap: i reccomend you go with the MR2 engine and tranny... 2nd gen 3sgte is both cheaper and easier...also, you should get a front mount intercooler, and iam pretty sure dyno tunning is mandatory. it should be a nice 5500 including all the above...if you guys need anymore info, just tell me... or go to newcelica.org forum: he posts there allot.also: i just beat a 350z and a Sentra SER tonight the SER was a friend of mine that beat me when my car was ST.... He was nice enough to rematch , even thou there was no way in hell he was gonna win.

Looks like they do very nice work. I'm ususally pretty critical of the workmanship in swaps but that is very nice. Did your tranny come with a limited slip? Does it even matter when the boost hits in first gear?

thanks... all mr2 trannys come with LSD, boost hits early i think in first gear... i plan on buying the remote switch for the boost controller, this way i can start out with normal boost, then halfway threw races switch to higher boost with ease.

I was destroyed by a SRT-4 today, so I am feeling a bit low. It's nice to hear about a celica winning! Jon Edit: I heard the 3rd gen engine had clearance problems with the stock hood, did you have any problems? This post has been edited by FallenHero: Dec 19, 2003 - 12:40 AM |

What octane gas are you running? Are you running water injection? Cuz 20 psi is a lot of boost. I'd like to hear your results from running 16+. Cuz here in Cali, our highest available found at regular gas stations is 91. I'm afraid that if I boost above 14 that I'm going to detonate and ping like crazy.

Thats some wicked stuff dude. What is your topspeed and your 0-60 ? Are you faster then the GT4 ?
And what about the cornering ? Cause 300 hp at the front wheels seems pretty hard to keep on the road. |

if his engine was 100% stock, just by putting it in a fwd car it made it faster, in most cases. gt4's dont have traction problems and can launch with way more power. im guessing his top speed would be around 145-150, maybe more, but he is using an mr2 tranny and im pretty sure mr2 turbos couldnt go faster than that. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

i made it such a sweet car. top speed should be a over 150.... so far ive gone to 130.... i dont floor my car when iam turning at all.... i should be faster than a gt-4, probably not gonna have the oppurtunity to run against one thou. iam only running 250 hp at the wheels right now.... i havent turned it up to 300 yet. i havent timed my 0-60 yet... but i will soon.... i am gonna take it to the track sometime in january. |
