Since im not using the water cooler would I just weld a bung to the intercooler cold pipe?
Green Bullet ST205 Re-Born - 6G Celicas Forums
Question on the wrc stuff. Should I just block off the two vsv ports, the water injector, and that bung on the no.1 intake runner? I'm not going to try to use any of that system. I would like to run water injection, but I'll be using devilsown.
Just leave it, that's what I did. And you still having problems fitting that intercooler? If you want I'll trade you for mine, which is like the Mishimoto slim, and it's one of those "stealth" black intercoolers LMK. And just shoot me a text if you have any questions, I'm not on here too often anymore. 859-912-2880

i had to cut a notch out of my crash bar for my intercooler to fit, it slid right up behind it and made small brackets that attach to the bottom of the intercooler to i believe the bottom of my radiator support.. ill have to run out to the garage and take some pics for you if it will help.
im also using my stock bumper and crash bar too idk how much of a difference there is between the gt4 and preface.

Ted please feel free to post up pics. New ideas are always helpful. I only have a few more items on the shopping list, and I will be ready to take the big plunge.
Got all of my wiring done. Decided to post a small how-to as well

some pics of how I did my crash bar the front mount
i cut the lower fins back to help let more air come up underneath the crash bar,
it now makes it weaker so im goin to put a 1/8th" plate bolted to the front for support,
36"x4" is what im going to bolt to the front of it
I'm still playing with it, going to clean it up a little more and rattle can it so its clean but gives you an idea I guess

Looks like a lot of work man. Thanks for the ideas. It's time to me to get started on mounting mine.
you dont actually need to cutout the bottom fins completely, but i did just for better flow. it fit fine before i cut the lower ones out.

What do these connect to? I can't find them on my wiring diagram.
I believe the plug by your condenser/downpipe for an O2 sensor. Mine isn't plugged in.
ya the top one is for the o2 sensor and mines not plugged in either, and i think the second plug connects to the ignitor on the firewall? i might be wrong on the one tho
st205 powered ss3 coupe
Already got the wiring for the ignitor ready to go. It looks like it goes to something nearby, but I just can't find anything!?!?
Looks like quite a project, engine looks beautiful.
It's been a while since I've been active here, but before you get everything put together, you may want to reconsider that SPEC clutch. The tabs holding the springs in failed on mine and one of the springs got lodged between the disk and the fly wheel (after bouncing around a bit). I'm not certain if the cracks in the clutch are post failure or if they contributed to it.
I've heard from a number of people that they have had similar issues. I switched to ACT and haven't had any problems. I usually run around 10 pounds of boost for daily driving and have a full AWD setup, so there's a fair bit of stress on the components.
Here's a link to the Google album with pictures of the clutch that failed.

Just received the seals and gaskets that I needed from TCB over in the U.K., and the new oil pump will arrive this week, which means that the motor will be ready for install this week. All I have to do is order the fuel pump, intercooler piping, and a few exhaust goodies, and D-day will commence. I'm stoked!

Ted I love you! Thanks!

where did u get the oil pump for a gen 3 from
What I think when you think I care

I was just going to do an ebay kit as well. I'm kind of nervous about how it going to weld, but I've got my fingers crossed. It costs a TON of money to have one custom fabricated.

These guys are able to source a pretty large amount of gen 3 parts, and for the really hard to find stuff I used:

do you have a tig welder?
st205 powered ss3 coupe
Yup, got a tig, mig, and torch.
You can go ahead and assume that I'm an idiot, but I did some searching around on this site and google, but I still have a question, and it likely has a pretty common sense answer...
What oil filter are you guys using on your 3rd gen 3sgte? Is it just the 2nd gen filter that I can buy at any local toyota?

Im just using a K&N filter from a 3SGTE mr2

im running a mobile1 filter for a mr2 turbo. when you go to a parts store ask for one from a mr2 turbo, or you can get one from toyota as well.
st205 powered ss3 coupe
I figured that was the simple answer. Thanks for the responses guys.
Small update... I got my new oil pump installed, and the timing is all set to go. Just have the oil pans left.

Two days ago, my roommate and I went to install the upper oil pan, and get the motor completely sealed up only to find that we had a big clearance issue.
These bolts right here stick down to low and were interfering with the oil pan, which was a HUGE set back. So we had to clean all of the FIPG off and modify the pan to fit. We took some measurements, and took a grinder to it.
After a S#%t load of cleaning between test fits we finally found success.
Motor is DONE!
