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

Then you should change your driving profile depends on the weather conditions and the temperature, this is actually what the WRC teams are making When Toyota used to run with the ST205 in hot weather conditions country they used to tie few blocks with ICE over the chargecooler to keep it cold cuz the place (Above the Engine) was taking all the heat from the WRC Engine.
I think if you have few runs with GT30 using the stock charge cooler and have a look on your inlet temperature will help you to understand if you need a front mount intercooler or original chargecooler.  My opinion is that for just a run the chargecooler its fantastic, because you can prepare it and have the run, after the first run its getting very hot, and hotter etc.The front mount intercooler its getting cold over and over cuz of the fitting place.Another advantage of chargecooler it’s the position and the distance of the turbo, you avoid lag.
