Turbo Engine Swap Consideration
Been reading a couple of threads over the pond on this engine being used
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-CALDINA-3S ... 3a5e93d6eb
OK - Nippon Auto Spares is probably not the best place to buy from but is supposed to be quite handy
It's a coil on plug engine (like the beams) so no dizzy and is quite handy for doing a proper sized Chargecooler install..
this is the best i have come across so far...

Re: Turbo Engine Swap Consideration
The caldina intake manifolds are sometimes used with the GT4s when they do FMIC conversions AFAIK.
Is there much benefit on using the rest of the engine over the MR2's 3s-gte?

You've also got no dizzy to mess around with, I hated my dizzy and plugs, they are a constant pain in the "censored".
The power is also more gradual compared to the older 3SGTEs. I've also been told that you can just up the boost and have 300+hp on the standard engine + bits but I don't know how true this is.
If I was doing a turbo conversion this is the engine I'd use but you know me, I always like to go for the "stupider" option.
Just like the beams is the best 3SGE, this 3SGTE is the best 3SGTE. Has the advantages of both the 2nd gen (torque) and 3rd gen (strenght) all combined into one.

Re: Turbo Engine Swap Consideration
Dan, DO NOT buy from Nippon Auto Spares, they are that same company as MKDL Motors, MrEngine, A1 Jap Spares and the rest of the robbing gits that sell engines, pick up the faulty one give it a clean and sell it on as a refurbed engine.
Myself, Wibble and quite a few others have been caught by them, I cant beleive that e-bay still allows them to trade

I know Nippon are a shocker - mark thorpe's rev 2 engine came from them. Would never consider them carol - EMS imports engines from japan to usa so he could probably organize a container this way

Re: Turbo Engine Swap Consideration
I didn't know that the Caldina had a Gen 4 tubby engine, it looks like a good alternative to the usual Rev 3 upgrade, especially if it can handle more power with less mods
Are you thinking of doing a tubby conversion Dan? I thought a V6 & a V8 project would be enough!
Edit just found some figures on this:
256 hp @6200 rpm
239 ft·lb @4400 rpm

Not at all Craig, I just thought a stronger alternative to the gen3 (rev3-5) would be welcomed for consideration
As far as I have discovered there is no difference between any mr2 turbo engines revision 3-5...
4-cylinders just ain't enough for me

Ahh i always love it - if someone highjacks my pictures for other forums.
Could have at least asked to post.Seems i have to rehost everything.I hate this image spreading along the Internet..basically because the guy /credit behind this project is completley forgotten - at the end its made by a guy in russia.. at least we are in the mr2-community here.

I think you should feel honoured that the op has basically congratulated you on such a high class build - don't take offence mate, he may not have known who you/the originator wasDaemon_slayer wrote:Ahh i always love it - if someone highjacks my pictures for other forums.

The internet is made for sharing. That's the whole point of it, forget copyright and privacy open source is the future.

I apreciate he used my mr2oc link to the thread.But as i said i hate the big image spreading.
you got to see the big picture - all this open source no copyright "censored" comes right back at us - resulting - in everyone knowing everything about nothing..

True, but without seeing threads/pictures like this - many folk would have nothing to aspire to. If those images are indeed of an engine that you built - then congrats, it looks stunning
It also helps us learn about other options available in the seemingly bottomless pit of 'tuning' !
