3SGTE into ae92 :D

[Brick]

well ive been talking to Al and this seems like a cool little project for me..
but wat i need to no is how much effort it is and will it be worth it?
my main issue is making new supports/bracket/mounts thingies but everythin else my mate can do.
any help about it will be good

[Al]

What did you talk to me about?

All I can see a 3s doing in an ae92 is fry the tyres

[Brick]

dont you remember? at work it was u that gave me the idea!

just finished reader fasterthanjesus very good info

so will the 3s fit straight onto my g/box then




there only tires

[mr30%jr]

um mr2 turbo gearbox is what you need

you might get away with a celica gtr one

throw some s series cv ends on you drive shafts and you awat laughing or skidding in ur case

[Brick]

um mr2 turbo gearbox is what you need

will i hav to do any other work to the arms or struts etc?

just some other little stuff i had to clear up on

[Akane]

in a FWD you'll be better off with a 4A-GZE turbo'd.

The torque in a 3S-GTE will just make you fry tires all day long.

[Brick]

i plan on putting the gze into another fxgt. the levin woudnt be the daily driver, it will just be for like drags or wat ever, so ill prob get DOT's

but skids are all good

[Malcolm]

oops, didn't read thoroughly enough

so what other things would you like to know? Suspension arms should all be fine, the 3S-GTE isn't significantly larger than the 4AGE, so physically fitting should be no major issue, the intake manifold vs. firewall is the main contention, I'd imagine

[Brick]

my main problems will be mounts, but im sure ill find/pay someone who can do them.

i been told to use the Gt4 engine with the mr2 gearbox?

so if that is really about it it shudnt be to much of a big job ??

[Malcolm]

yeah the gt4 engine will be a good idea, that way you have wiring harness etc ready for FWD config. I can get you a GT4 gear selector linkage thing for converting the MR2 box if you like, just let me know and I will sort it.

It wont be all that easy, but if you take a methodical approach it shouldn't be overly difficult. If you read through my swap diary you'll see some of the problems that you might have to overcome, and add a little more for the difficulties outlined below:

Positioning the engine will take some time, and the wiring could take some time, since you have quite a bit of wiring going to the fusebox in a FWD.

If you want to use/keep power steering then you will possibly need to get custom hoses made up to go from the GT4 pump to the AE92 system.

"THASHZ" Has done this very conversion, (Or was it into an ae82?) he would be a good person to talk to, if you could get hold of him.
