Ive been viewing this forum for some time now.
Reason has been to see Rotrex installations. GGelise install is outstanding.
Well a nit about my car.
Its a 1999 SW20 the last sold in Australia. It had the normal 3SGE engine in it, which was great, but alas i found out about the limited run Toyota did with an engine code named BEAMS.
Well it is a vvti engine with 200 horses stock.
I built a brand new engine with Toyota spare parts and in the process stripped the car back to metal. Coated it with PPG 2 pac grigio alloy ( ferrari code - light metalic blue ) and mercedes benz ceramic clear coat.
The whole car has new everything, well im a bit of a nutter over 3,000 pieces .
Now here i am . wanting more power , just a touch really . Turbo was a no go for me . The Rotrex looks like it would give me what i want.
So ive nearly finished my custom installation.
Will post pics if you like.
All piping was made from cast aluminium. I made the moulds.
All that i had to do was relocate the alternator which was easy as i used a Celica bracket.
So custom pipes , brackets etc
a/w intercooler barrel with radiator up front
550 cc injectors , 255 fuel pump
Setrab oil cooler with fan
OEM oil catch can
MoTec M800 with knock sensor module and VVTi controller
and a hell a lot of other things.
BUT just befor i was going install i had another thought.
Strenghten it so here we go again.
New block, torque plated and honed, forged pistons SPS AND Forged Rods ARGO.
Compression of the std engine was 11:1 , the new one is 9.5:1 .
Fear of the week rods and high compression is why i did it.
As far as i know i would be the first to Rotrex a 3SGE engine
