[mycelicagt]

Congrats on the swap. Now i think i need to work ALOT more to get my swap done

P.S. when your radiator is starting to go pale like that its a sure sign it dosnt have much life left in it (prone to cracking just in front of the rad cap ) IIWY I would replace it as soon as you can.

Thx for the tip. Will look into that. But I think it also has to do with the lighting. Engine itself came from a 1996 ST205 with 100K km on it.

Already ordered some new goodies.
HKS Turbo Timer, yup after a few days I'm already getting lazy, don't want to wait 1-2 minutes in the car to let things cool of.
HKS BOV: Having to much "ricer" boys in there honda's or VW golf GTI/VR6 who think they can win. I let them win the takeoff then when 2nd gear cames its bye bye, but want to add a nice touch to that

Also going for an Aussie 3"downpipe and will go for a full custom 3" exhaust. Now still using my Dual exhaust (st205 exhaust did not fit) so the 2" old exhaust is keeping some horses to find there way on the tarmac

nice setup and congrats

not so sure on the Turbo Timer since your water and oil cooled..and a stock motor there really is no need for one...the 300$ or wat not i could see spent in a better area

good luck!

ditch the turbo timer and go wideband

edit: other than boost i believe wideband to be the most important gauge for a turbo car

Did not know the CT20b was watercooled?! But I'm learning new things every day!

I live next to the high/freeway, I know myself I cant drive at a reduced rate to cools things down hence the TT. it was only 100$ about 82 euro's so I dont feel that in my pocket really. TT and BOV are not really necesarry but the same thing goes for EDFC for that matter.

I wouldnt bother with a turbo timer either...

...watch out for boost creep with a 3" exhaust you`d be much better off with a 2.5" exhaust on a 205 engine

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

3rd gen???? wow

lucky!

Using the ST202 Tranny. If I hadn't had a 3S-GE I wouldn't have bothered swapping since 3S-GE or 5S-FE tranny's are quite rare here.

[chacha]

let's do a trade, im in the USA, 5SFE engine all around...I want the 3rd GEN 3SGTE...not the 2nd...hard to find a clip for same price like the 2nd GEN 3SGTE...^_- BTW, congrats...

The CT20 turbo had many oil cooled only versions, found in the Hilux turbo and Camry turbo diesel in the 80's, Early 90's. They were rather small units that only churned out about 6 PSI on a stock wastegate. CT20B is a much different beast, churning out about twice the boost stock as well as being water and oil cooled. Thats what was enlisted for duty in the 3rd gen 3SGTE motor.
