Re: oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

Yes short and wide, the pickup area deep and narrow. Yes yes. Anything to increase the total capacity to prevent the pickup from drying up in the event of any oil getting stuck in the exhaust side of the head.

Gotta do what I gotta do, the best way I can with what I've got. I can blow 9 motors ...

Re: oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

Okay so gen4 oil pump, modified pickup
Gen3 water pump
revisit the head for oil drain locations
Shorten the oil pan height and add external reservoir with -20 line to sump. Move oil cap from the rocker cover to reservoir, and extra drain back line can go there too to keep it full.

Add ignition cut ...

Re: oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

Does the crank angle sensor bolt to the oil pump? Why don't I have a crank angle sensor? Sorry I haven't looked closely enough at it yet.

Again 5k for a dry sump is out of the question for me, the steel pan can be cut and reshaped with steel plate if need be. The end goal is reliability, but by ...

Re: oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

So from the sounds of it, I should probably go st205 on everything with a modified pickup and strainer to suit the altezza sump. Again for clarification it's st215w motor, sxe10 sump and gearbox into a kp61.

We will also add an external oil drain in the corner of the head by exhaust port #4 and ...

Re: oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

Dry sump setups are 10k, that's out of the question for me.

So should I choose blacktop pump, pickup and head gasket, or

St205 pump and modified pickup


In any instance ill increase my capacity to around 5 liters and add new drains to the exhaust side.

Should I make use of the FWD/AWD dipstick ...

Re: oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

What are you measuring? I'm going off the pickup diameter to see which is the highest flowing pump. If it's st205 then ill buy one of those. I can also look at increasing my sump capacity

oil pump for rwd 3sgte. altezza 3s vs caldina 3s

I'm building a rwd caldina 3sgte with altezza sump and j160 box.

I've seen the two oil pumps side by side and the pickup is hole wider and the bulge in the casing for the pump is slightly bigger. Would the altezza pump be a good upgrade for me or is it better to keep using a turbo pump. Is st205 ...

different, ct20b exhaust side is alot better for spooling, i think the exhaust wheel is slightly smaller, and the housing flows better through the wastegate ports

depending on the car, factory equip may or may not be adequate

generally the high performance version of your car (if exists) will have factory specified optimum goodness

eg, 195 or 205 for a regular Celica, 215 for an SS-3 and GT-4

so any of the lower models will be great up to 215 for ...
