[All] [Generic] inline 4 layout

[Mike N]

I am looking into fitting a 3sgte rev 3 tubby engine into an "in line" layout on an old rwd car.

I was wondering which "in line" sump from another Toyota would fit a 3sgte, along with a gearbox strong enough to take 400bhp.

Thanks

Have a look at the Lexus IS200

Is200 boxes are pretty weak, I'm actually not 100% sure if the gearbox used on the UK 6cyl is the same as the jdm 3sge beams. In terms of strength the rwd boxes go w58 5 speed, R154 5 speed then the v160 getrag 6 spd from the TT supra - although I don't think they bolt straight up anyway.

They're all expensive and people are now putting BMW boxes on JZ engines, so maybe worth looking into a strong cheap BMW box and a custom adaptor plate/bellhousing.

Good luck!

What car are you thinking of fitting the engine to?

Thanks for the answers so far,

The conversion will be going into a 1974 BMW 2002Ti, it will have turbo arches etc.

Gavinda hold that sump I will get back to you soon, pse pm me a price.

Funnily enough I had looked at some 6 speed BMW inline boxes, but prefer something which bolts straight on without fuss if I can.

I built a BMW turbo straight 6 with a ct26 turbo it went quite well but this time round I want a complete 3sgte turbo lump for the boost and rpm levels which BM's dont have.

fair enough..

however, if it were me, and it was going into an '02, i'd be going for an e36 M50 with turbo conversion, on a 5spd bmw box - i'm sure you know that all the parts are available off the shelf (manifold etc), they're cheap as chips and strong too

that one made 434bhp/404lbs on a stock bottom end and a chinese ebay turbo (which lasted for a few years until he upgraded).. makes spending money on a 3s seem a little silly really?

See your point but I want a 4 pot.

I have enough stuff to build a few and like the way the 3sgte performs with tuning.
