Hello guys i need your opinion i found on ebay one company who make modifield engines for toyota celica st205
the web is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FULL-RACE-3SGTE-...=item3a7b90a22e

does any one order from this guy ? is reliable ? should i trust him ??

please help

You might want to comfirm, But I'm pretty sure you need to supply the engine. The cost that they're showing on that website is simply for their rebuild, not the cost of an engine.

Sleeving the engine and then putting in wiseco pistons and eagle rods...

why sleeve the engine? its an iron block. you can make 500HP without sleeves

They're Honda engine builders... apparently they sleeve everything and anything lol.

hmmm guys uf i change my pistons only can i go to 400 hp ? coz some one told the 3sgte rods can go up too 600-700hp is thats true ??

I've read more than one place that the bore spacing between 2 and 3 is pretty small and as such at high power levels the coolant between them in the water jacket can boil and cause hot spots that can crack the cylinders. The coolant flash boils, the cylinder gets really hot in that one spot, then the coolant condenses and quenches it suddenly. After many cycles it can crack. Sleeves are made from steel, not iron, and are much more resistant to this. Probably just insurance on their part.

ive all ready tried that, the sleeves cracked and data log showed no knock or lean condition when it happened, car made 440whp and cracked the block

If they know the 3SGTE engines then they wouldnt sleeve it.

Buddy of mine down here cracked the bore so he ended up sleeving and cementing the coolant passage...
