Re: Looking for my old car
I own the car and took it off the road for a while as I was going to turn it into a race car but instead just ended up sorting a few problems out as previous owner had messed up the suspension etc. So the car is now better than it was when I bought it 2+ years ago. The down side is the car is now su...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
Well on the plus side its getting my posts up whether you lot believe me or not that's fine and if you read all my posts I haven't asked how to do it the closest I have come was asking if I would need to upgrade any components on a head swap and it was more rhetorical. Ashley I'm glad to hear some ...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
I am just about to finish off an Austin Healey Sprite for my customer and have already built him a hill climb mini and helped him with his Austin Healey 100/4 I also did some work on his Porsche Boxster and his Ford GT40 so apart from the Boxster most of the stuff I work on is a lot older than my MR...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
Like I said you can't read! As I have already said I have more than 1 car and that I am not going to bother changing the 3sfe engine just fix it as everyone has advised against it! My other car is a turbo and already has alot of upgrades and was talking of doing these upgrades to this engine. Also n...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
Yes I mean 89mm bore and 86mm stroke making it a short stroke 2.2 making it a higher reving engine unlike the 5sfe/5s which has 86mm bore and 89mm stroke meaning it will produce more torque at lower revs but won't rev as highly. TRD built this engine in the 90's and I've already sourced the pistons ...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
No actually I took it all on board and you have answered my question in that its possible but may be unsuitable so as I said before I think I'll just fix the 3sfe engine in this car and do the upgrades to my 3sgte version instead it was more a curiosity, of whether anyone had swapped the heads betwe...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
Because as I said if you were going to spend the money anyway whether your buying a 3sgte engine or not on upgrading the engine then why not use any 3s block it would probably be cheaper to use the existing 3s block than buying another complete engine costing at least £1000 and still spending £3000 ...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
So the question is why would you assume that it is going to use stock anything? I've already said its going to get upgraded components so obviously turbo would be changed too and if your using an oil cooler as well then you plumb the new turbo in off that. As for the expense it does not have to all ...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
[quote="slipping clutch"]I'm sure that you could source all the parts required from the forsale forum and build your own 3sgte engine? may work out cheaper than buying a full clip and as you obviously don't mind getting your hands dirty you will have a motor that you know the history of an...

Re: 3SFE upgraded to 3SGTE
Well it sounds like I'm best off just repairing it and either selling it or just use it as is, as the cost of getting a complete rear clip is more than the cars worth but body work is too good to scrap it. I quite fancied doing this as well. One last question are the heads of the 3sge and 3sgte the ...
