Stef's 7A-FTE to 3rd Gen 3S-GTE, its time for a change Options

[hurley97]

So some people may already know that I've had 7A turbo in my car and running for almost 4 years now. We did have our ups and downs in the beginning but the JDM Guy team and I figured out how to make it run great. Obviously I realize my little motor won't last forever, so when Dustin decided he wanted to get rid of his car we decided to part it and give his 3rd gen 3SGTE a new home while still keeping it in the family.


Some people also know about the 98 Rav4 we have that we put a Redtop Beams motor in. I'll be using the LSD S54 that came with that motor.

I just did some cleaning and painting on the 3S, changed the timing belt, water pump, all the oil seals, valve cover gaskets, drive belts, etc.










Right now I'm just waiting on a clutch. I ordered a Clutch Masters stage 2 hybrid clutch kit.

There are a few things from my turbo setup that will be staying but naturally there will be a lot of things for sale.
The WebCams custom reground cams with all the shims, 7A turbo manifold with the Tial 38mm MV-S external wastegate, Garrett T3 2052 turbo with the custom made flange and downpipe, RC Engineering 370cc fuel injectors, also have a set of Toyota 3SGE 372cc lime green injectors, we'll have a spare Devil's Own water injection kit, an unopened JoeP manual boost controller, Walbro 255lph fuel pump with foam insulator to make it quieter, my PWR water to air intercooler with the inline filler neck/cap. I will put up a formal for sale with pictures once everything is out but I just want to get the word out on some of the things that will be up for grabs pretty soon.

So its been done for a while but I haven't taken the time to post about it

so continuing from the last picture that was posted,







Was in and started on July29th



Then test drive the next day after a few little finishing touches. Went down the street to put gas in it, Dustin got in the drivers seat to take it around the block when this happened...


Took it apart and found that when I put the cam caps back on I put on a little too much FIPG and it go into the oil journals for the intake cam causing it to lock up







Got another cam, new seal, checked the exhaust cam which was ok, new seal there too, new timing belt, and all has been well since then.

Once thing I can't figure out is the bov makes this weird squealing noise while it is closing, I tightened the boost source on the bov and its a little bit better but not much.
