Gen III 3S-GTE WRC build - Finished! Options

[GT4WRC]

What a lovely way to spend a day - pulling the motor and box out of the 4

Dropping the subframe...





Subframe and exhaust removed...





Driveshaft out...





Engine and box just about ready to come out (loom was the worst part!)





Part of the WRC version's antilag system...



With the motor resting on 'supports', the car was hoisted upwards...





Thanks to my mate for the use of his workshop



My, what a big gap!



Uses for Holden Ute wheels #24



Looking a bit sorry for itself right now :cry:



Next step is to start pulling the motor and box apart so the real fun can begin

this is his plans
"Bench flowed cylinder head with HKS 264 cams, adjustable cam wheels and uprated valve springs. Will also look at the inlet manifold when it's off to see if the flow can be imprioved. Block to have oilways cleaned up (rough castings as standard) to improve flow and will be reassembled with fully balanced crank, TRD shells, OE rods and ACL pistons (0.5 oversized). That will be coupled to a lightweight flywheel and uprated clutch. This will allow the rev limit to be increased to at least 8000rpm.
Will also be fitting some GReddy 750cc top feed injectors too and a much bigger Koyo aluminium rad. Once this is all put together, boost will be turned back down and the engine will be given time to run in properly. Will also give me chance to sort out a decent intake system using an A'Pexi filter and custom made carbon fibre cold air box.
I can look at a tubular exhaust manifold, BB turbo (probably a GT30) and an A'Pexi ECU"
