miib14 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 saw this one ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-starlet-track-car-project-2-0-n-a-drag-car-requires-finishing-/181120246742?roken=NiW2Xx wondering if it was owned by anyone on the club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Why would you swap to a 3sge engine it has far less potential than the stock one ? Edited April 15, 2013 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 the 3sge is 175 bhp, can be pushed to 200bhp NA... and its safe to boost this engine to 275bhp on stock internals thats why Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 + you could drop a 3sgte in there.Same could be said for why i did my 4age swap. 2 reasons 1 Because i could and 2 i got bored of the norm. Heres my n/a, going turbo or rep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think you'll find that the only the rev3 3sge was over 170bhp the rev 1/2 was quite a lot less and as for pushing it to 200bhp would require a substantial amount of money spent on it, far more than upping the boost and a fcd on a 4efte Lol at the boosting on stock internals that's why so any people Do 3sgte engine swaps on n/a's believe me I've blown the rod out the bottom on a na there's no way you could boost one safely if that was possible everyone would buy one :-p Quote Link to post Share on other sites

russ78 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The reliable bit may be true but you'll be compromising the reliability by pushing the engine to its limits, and i researched the 3sge engine when i had my mr2 and found the only one worth putting time and money into was the rare a fook rev4 beams engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 the beams is 200bhp from factory and has vvt however is less reliable than the acis 3sge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 well if the drives where done then this might be somthing special but if there not there, just scap it costs almost 800 to 1000e for tha shafts to be made Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I got one made for £225 but you would need the other side and Cv's as well. But it looks like its got a wider track so maybe they were planning on using the stock shafts? Either way quite a lot of work left and without knowing where to start and how bits have been done you are half way to shits creek with a termite ridden paddle lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
