i didnt beleive the machinest i brought it to the first time when he told me that the crank was much smaller than what it should be... so i sent the engine to poland to get the work done... and he said the same thing... acl bearings wouldnt fit they were too loose soo the machinest in poland had too buy them and he measured the crank and he said it was the exact same as the new one from the 1.8 ... not my wod... im just saying what the two machinests told me...

i dont know what octane you have in america but in the emerald isle we have 98 octane
if you want more pics ill post them when i get time but the whole cylinder head was ported and fully refurbished.

he put all new coated valves and cups with tighter springs...i thought myself that it was a bit off but it seems to pull a hell of alot more than any of the other 3sge's ive seen?? so i was just taking it for granted thats what it was??? because that was what it was rated for by the machinest?? and with a compression ratio ive never seen so high on any other engine??? well im happy to agree with you if you can just help me boost it up near 200...then ill be thrilled! i dont honestly care what has too be done to get there ill get it sorted! but i still want my engine silky smooth is all im goin to say!!

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

ya it blew out the first steel head gasket that i put into it and that had to be replaced... problem was , cheap head bolts so i just got a toyota set and they worked just fine!!! i would actually love to get it dyno'd just to see how much there is and what else i have to do to get some more ponies! an the moment im running on 13.5 bar the old pistons i took out were totally different to them ones... there was only about 3 millimeter of a dome in them...and the new wossners came with the sides teflon coated and were seriously light!! there was about six piston rings on each!! that included the oil ring...
i want new cams and if it blowes the head il just get a stud kit.... that shud hold it!!! the 3sgte head gasket is the same and how much compessions in that when the turbo spools up??? :?

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

ya the gte gasket and the 3sge are identical... i had a lot of trouble in the past with head bolts on my celica i tried the first time reusing them but i just ended up blowing the headgasket again iv got a collection of about 4 in my shed all screwed up...ya i can see that slowly haping already in the block... what exactly do you mean by getting it o-ringed...i dont think this headgasket thats in it is goin to last that long either so if it goes again im just going to put normal headgasket with an apr stud kit that should do the trick hopefully!!! i was going to buy the cams when i was doing my engine first but i didnt because i wanted to break in the motor first so there wouldnt be as much stress as it would have running it in with extra camshafts.... 8)

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

i had a cosmetic and i blew it!!! bloody thing... i think next time ill go with a trd one!! probly a better job!!

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

yes your right!!! it was a 1.1!!! iv a standard one in now and its fine?

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

crappy bots....i found the problem... the should have been uprated for the higher comp ratio so thats what ill do again when i get money... stupid thing!!! whole new suspension system coming thou!!! cant wait!!! will be smooth like silk!!!

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

hmmm.... i just got great news today..... 4 bent valves.... and a screeching water pump!! the joys....

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

ok so today i stripped the head off only to find that the valves were all ok and the very loud banging from the top of the engine was actually the head gasket... screwed...AGAIN!!! iv got a little collection of blown headgaskets now just hanging up in my shed so its kinda getting annoying now that i cant just sit in and drive!!! :evil: but anyway!! im going to order a new timing belt , pump, tensioner, gasket and headbolts monday...im just so god dam sick of changing it!!! :evil:




the pistons come up almost twice as high as the old ones did!!



ok...here was my plan with the seats... i was planning to get the alltrac ones with the lumber support and try and order a good second hand one in from a country with left hand drive so i can have two in the front!!! i think this would be pretty nifty if ya ask me!! so both the seats could be adjusted! has anybody else dont that with there cars maybe?? can it be done... i think i could make it work! mine are knackered as you'll see!!
steering isnt too bad but is a bit worn on the outside and discoloured

this is what i play my TUNEZZZZ wityh its a full jbl system with a 800watt amp and a mac audio sub! did all the trimming and covering and made the box and parcel shelf myself!! arent i good! but all the old live sound speakers have ben replaced with jbl...sounds so sweet...looking to buy an alpine stero next... i have a good sony but i think alpines are much better
this is just a bit of rust i need to sort but its no biggy as of yet i am a fairly good welder so i should have no prob!

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

oh i almost forgot to post a picture of my head gasket... totally screwed between piston 1 and 2...


yes im holding it backwards

 

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

ok...l right... is there any chance at all that my block could be warped??? and what are the advantages of using a steel gasket???

Re: my fourth gen, 1990, 2ltr gt

thanks for the reply!!

car is sweet but i was hoping to get a full respray!! ya i was hoping to get a good ecu... but i can get ALOT!!! of parts cheap imported from poland and i mean for a third of the price!! if not a quater.. so which ecu would u recommend that i get?? im looking to get over 200bhp+ if i can becuse i only ever seen two other celicas like mine and there were both scraped!! and i think it would show some of the other ten ton celica's a bit of a run!! i have a fairly decent mechanic , i usually do all the work myself but seeing as i sent the engine away i dont like to take too many chances becuase it can be all money down the drain!!! so i get him to torque it! but for the last gasket i think it just couldnt take the pressure and decided to die!!! in my own opinion i think that the 3sge and gte are the same gasket because when i went into the motor factors to get mine it was listed as the same... so i think i can and the last steel gasket i used was a 3sgte and it fitted perfect but the bolts just gave up on me.. sickened!!! have you got any good sites were i can find out more on which ecu to go with...

are you serious??? would you mind about the inectors? that would be soooo sweet!! ill give you something for them dont worry but it mightent be alot... i was looking for a good header but there so god dam hard to find!!! but i will continue looking!

yes...the seats! i know they might weigh that little but more but they would be soo much more comfortable!! i have a decent mig welder and i did alot of weding when i was younger and in school, i used to make peices of art from scrap metal!!! if you want i can make you anything in return from the injectors??? check the link!! i made a 7 foot tall giant all out of car parts and i do some crazy animals!!! if you want to see some more let me know!!

at the moment my chassis is a total disaster so i was thinking about going with these bushes down on the bottom...
from fensport...and i dont know about the shocks yet...im thinking about putting in kyb adjustables but im not quite sure... iv had so much trouble with scrubbing and i just want a good quite car that doesnt scrub... but i want too lower it but then again im afraid of scrubbing in corners!! i have a new set of 17's to put onto it but i want to get them powdercoated white first.. is the st202 box a direct fit or is there more modifying to do?? i can pick up a box no problem!!! you see its very hard to get a good gearbox becuase every gearbox is 20yrs old!!! and probly left out in the rain with no drives!!! i had to clean the old gearbox out with crappy oil first before i put in the good stuff w85/90 ... thanks for the post
