I started my swap last night! Got the engine out and the 3sgte mounted onto the 5s-fe trans. within about 4 hours. The motor mount next to the timing cover had to be modified to fit correctly. Ive heard before its a direct fit for the 5s-fe motor mounts. Its not! Only one bolt lines up without modifications. I took the mount to the grinding wheel and managed to make it fit well. If anybody wants pics give me your e-mail and Ill send you some pics of the mount. Hope this will better prepare some of the future swappers! later-

Ok heres my best guess to why my car wont boost past 7 psi. I noticed the coolant is flowing freely all the time through the radiator. Also my car is running cool by the temp gauge. I think my t-stat is either stuck open or someone took it out completely. IF the ecm has a "safe mode" it may only allow partial boost until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. I dont know for sure. But this is my best guess since the wastegate and related parts seem to work ok.
My second guess is that maybe I have a vacuum leak while under boost. You'd think that the car would idle high or run rough or something. It runs fine. I'll throw a t-stat in it on Tuesday and let you all know if anything happens. Later -toyotacrazy |
