ill pm on the weekend, if i forget pm me

iv got 6 or 8 standard size coilover springs your welcome to try out, would be 2 different spring rates atleast between them

cheers mate, they had alot of troubles with gearbox so could well be a bad connections down there.

he has moved to aus so has sat for a few months now but it used to drive like it was a non turbo and you could visually see the boost gauge go up to 10-12psi etc then it would sometimes run fine and go as good as it should. he had the turbo replaced, no difference. all vacumm lines and clamps looked good.

there was no abnormal noises or apparant from memory stuttering or backfiring.

Speedo is working correctly. Im unsure about whether ecu is picking it up, codes might tell all. Will spend signal effect performance, limp mode etc?

Will have a better look over and check codes out hopefully within the next week

It still goes perfectly well just lack of power, sometimes it goes as it should.

Hopefully doesn't turn into electrical nightmare.

I remmeber reading the caldina engines are alot different in terms of what i cant remember from the celicas?

Hes overseas and cars mine for cheaps so am gonna give it a go.

Ill keep blow off valve in mind.

yo tgb or other 3sge minded people.

looking at purchasing new daily of st205 celica, intermittent not boosting, still has boost pressure although.

Any common 3sge related issues? Its had a caldina engine installed and since then its never ran right but it was dorment for some time sitting.

Cant check it out untill weekend/next week so will be trawling net for any help untill so

/stuck in wellington on course, its killing the time.

I was planning on wiriting ill be there cause im a useless cunt but it apppears its this week and cant attend due to being in wellington for the week, next time for sure.

When i talked to my local cert man he said aslong as unit in removed and so is wiring its fine?

Whats the new "aves" then? Is it simply not a case of us moving somewhere else? surely the council must realise that there is other substitutes to the aves and the "problem" will only move.

by "us" you probably mean more you.

laps are gay.

sure a couple while you finish you drinks to go to town is alright

^^agree

so much custom work.

oh in lol news i pulled that engine down you grabbed for me the next day, 2 pistons had broken ring lands

are you going to swap your plates and tags over to this new shell?

I hope not, that would be illegal

cheers, saves wasting my time some how i had it my mind they didnt fit.

Um just a weekend car bro, something more gangtown and less datsun.

Ill give it a test try, mine has 15" honey comb stz mags thought this was the norm/smallest.

Cheers, should be in a nice shade of flat black by the end of the week

Does anyone no whether 14" steels will fit over front of xf brakes?

Does the new engine have vvt? /variable cam timing. This is shown via large bulge in cam cover on inlet side

If it doesn't you could use the old loom as everything will be the same.

The only new plug on the newer vvt engines to worry about would be for the solenoid to active it.

You cant remap the newer ecus which are from the r33 but if it is an early 25 from the r32's it can be mapped. Your mods sound pretty common, a ecu tune place should be able to get something pretty close without it being on the dyno.

Upgrade to a purple sticker one, not important at this stage can be done later on.

Basically, buy a new plenum or get someone/u to weld on an extension off standard turbo manifold with a wastegate flange on the end

check water pump hasn't actually snapped off impeller

new radiator cap

give cooling system a pressure test aswell to see where its going, might just be coming out the overflow cause of above problems.

seriously.

how can you go wrong.

Just for the + t option put new rings and bearings in and don't go silly buying other things you dont need, this will keen costs down alot.

engine looks tidy as

^^ He wont, very average.

wait you got that for $24.....

Seeing this is the highlight of my day tbh

So any idea on if i start my cert process before the 1 May, can i avoid the CAT law?

spoke to technical guy today about this, official reply was the cat rule will apply to cars that have had the engine swapped after 1st of may. so if you can get some proof that the engine was fitted prior to may 1 then you wont need to worry about it.

A simple picture will suffice you think?

would chopping the sump off at the mounting flange and rewelding 180% around give you a better position? i have just done this with an rb sump

pressure test the cooling system.

It doesn't matter which it is when you take the head off you get it checked and or planned and a new headgasket fitted.
