Two years ago doGGy installed on my 7AFE his famous turbo kit (http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=44390). I have received for 100% more power to my 7AFE... amazing experience. Now it's time to move forward again. I want more power so I have officially started "performance upgrade - stage II". For now just few teaser details for you wink.gif :

aim: swap fully build 3SGTE
engine management: ViPEC V44
performance: as much as power can FWD handle wink.gif
more details: secret... (so far wink.gif )
target date: first of August 2009 (so 3 months to go...)

...and at last first cellphone pic smile.gif :



stay tuned... biggrin.gif

It will be for sale. With engine as is or sell out by parts... depends on interest. However must go when project is finished.

Right... for about $2800 you should have complete 250HP engine in your hands... than swap and tune up... plus some small things you need to complete it... I believe total would be somewhere around $6000.

9th of June, 2009 update:
Almost another month is gone but nothing much new with my project frown.gif. I have had some troubles with engine parts, delivery and... sad to say that with guy who is building that engine as well. He has many projects to do and it seems he just postponing and postponing the my one... last info is that 3rd gen 3SGE engine is now disassembled and cleaned. When all engine parts are here assembling should begin...

From my understanding, you're turbo'ing a 3S-GTE? I thought that wasn't possible because of weak internals...

...but I'm sure I read the posts wrong, it's almost 2 in the morning.

I have bought 3rd gen 3SGE. Engine will be disassembled, cleaned, rebored and forged internals will be used. Than turbocharged... so finally I will have fully build 3SGTE capable to hold 600HP*. I want to be sure what I have inside and do not re-seal o re-build engine each 2 years...


>>*it will finally run less so do not panic wink.gif >>

Im not doubting you, but how much HP are you aiming for? And a question to your answer. Wont there be wheelspin?

My aim is not clear so far... Engine will be definitely tuned in two-three steps (engine running-up will be at 250-300bhp about). When car will be running tuned to the max depends on budget. I do not want run fully tuned car on stock ST brakes. So before that I want brake upgrade, install some more braces to make car body more stiff and buy wider tires. That's bit about aim... and wheel spin? We will see... I have great exemplars here to follow and learn from smile.gif
