Well i havent really posted on here lately being the really busy person i am,,......lol but i have been wrecklessely overworking myself at my job doing over time and all this due to the new project i came upon about 2 months ago. well to cut it short i had a e153 converted all trac tranny to fwd platform with a cusco lsd and well to go with it i needed an engine,..... so the guy that sold the tranny to me and also converted it told me about his mr2 and his 600+ HP 3sgte swap and well i asked him about his motor currently in the mr2 turbo (3sgte) and well i ended up buying everything i will ever need for the 3sgte to run in my car,.......and well also advice which was how he blew about 4 3sgte's and it was his first time building one up from scratch and reccomended me to, soooooo after i pulled everthing from the mr2,......i trailed it home and put it on the stand and i took it completely in pieces and well now the block is currently in the machine shop getting bored out .002 over and well i guess i took his advice and well im reaching a goal of 350 whp as a RELIABLE motor at 20 lbs of boost sooo YES i am ready to dump alot of money and btw i have a f10x haltec ems system and here are some pics of me in the gray undershirt and my friend pulling the motor apart

looks good kid...hope ya pull it off

have fun!

nice tranny. clean.

Definitely good choice on the tranny.

Good luck w/ a motor from an MR2. Make sure you get all the brackets 'n stuff form an all-trac to convert the motor to work in a front engine platform...

How much did you pay for it? I want to put a 3SGTE into my 95 ST once I get some money, but don't know how much I need to save.

welllllllll soryy about that brian but i havent been on in a while and moneys been tight on this 3sgte rebuild so i am going custon exhaust manifold (well built one) so i shoudve let you know before. but as for the rebuild thanks all who have left good coments and well i hope i achieve my goal but i have pics of the engine put back together withought internals but just for the fun of learning my engine inside out and well the pic below ( piston's ringland is brocken off and thus the reason why the rebuild is being done) and well rebuild brings better things,................forged internals .0025 over pistons, etc soo look out im trying to get mid 12 sec pass but more importantly,........reliability!

nice valvecover

ive been workin on appearance, since ive been waiting on money soooooo.........my valve cover , intake manifold, exhaust manifold, fuel rail, belt cover and throttle horn are all polished now and lookin sexy!!! butt this friday the block is going to machine shop for boring out cleaning and testing and well the short block will be assembled by next weekend (begining of july). and waiting on goodies ie: arias .0025 over pistons, ats fuel rail, fidanza gears, greddy timing belt, t3/t4 turbo kit, external wastegate Tial. etc i think by end of jusly be ready except wiring

if your going to do all that why get a modified stock fuel rail from ats budget shop?

get a wolfkatz

>
my guess would be the extra 300$ the wolfkatz costs.

yuppp!!! but i am currently taking into consideration a top feed fuell rail........we'll see i just have to get the machine shop business out of the way

Nice project.
Are you Mexican?

well i dont know how to take that question,............offensively or not?!?!?!? but no im not i was born in providence hospital washington dc my background is guatemalan

I don't know why you'd find that offensive, I didn't mean it like that. Was just wondering, cuz I am Mexican. Was just curious. Keep us posted on your project bro

no hard feelings i just didnt really know what you meant at first, (thought it was in a joking way) but its cool ill let yall know whats up because this weekend im heading over to paradise racing to buy the je pistons and arp rod bolts

can i ask how much you are putting into this

well i only need a couple of things left and well it should be about 3500-4000 total just because engine and standalone were very cheap

keep goin strong

dude you have said arias pistons and JE pistons. which are you getting? and you said t3/t4 kit but then say holset hx35 (turbo from a cummins diesel).

just observing. lol

nice build.

going hx35 also lets see this

>

I think you need to drop a zero there.

yeah i wanted to go garrett t3/t4 and it was going for 600 dollars but a buddy of mine was telling me he could find holset turbos brand new for 500 dollars and he told me of the reliable of these cummins truck turbos then my mind was made up for the holset. as for je over arias pistons,......arias pistons is distributed by paradise racing here in Maryland and i can get them for a good price pics of parts will most likely go on tonight

very nice, is there a reason going .025 over as to the more common .020?
