To remedy my oscilating voltage (dying alternator) I put in a new alternator As this is the second standard rev3 turbo alternator that died on me, I wanted to use a different alternator with a little more power. So I used a 120A alternator for a Land Cruiser, which has the same attachement points as...

Update: A few months of driving with the new exhaust I noticed that my clutch didn't disengage completely any more. So the engine came out to check the clutch. https://i.postimg.cc/wT9BYbZS/IMG_20170727_191554.jpg The clutch discs themselfes still had some life left in them, but the release bearing ...

I think it is time for a major update. The car is still running and being tinkered with. After the dyno result I had to find the issue that let the boost pressure drop above ~5000rpm. It was found that the intake was restricting the possible maximum airmassflow into the turbo leading to a drop in bo...

Small update. Got my first dyno figure (german dyno sheet, sorry):


More tinkering has to be done.

I use this K&N filter: RX-4140 . It is very small and unrestrictive. And the 90mm flange fits my air massflow sensor perfectly. The fuel rail is made by RacerX fabrications in the US. It is the only fuel rail that will fit injectors with 14mm o-rings that I could find for the 3SGTE. The injector...

For the build, I'll let the pictures do the talking. All of this had to go into the engine: https://i.postimg.cc/jS6tFq3P/CIMG3615.jpg The block bored and honed: https://i.postimg.cc/T2Zy8w04/CIMG3764.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ZY99D38N/CIMG3765.jpg Crank, rods, pistons, water pump, oil pump and oil p...

When I first got the car it looked like this: https://i.postimg.cc/fLWGt2k3/CIMG0926.jpg It had 17" wheels, a decat and a very loud exhaust. After a few years, with the 3SGTE inside and some forged 16" wheels it looked like this: https://i.postimg.cc/HWhqntmx/CIMG1642.jpg And in 2012 ready...

These are the parts I used in my build (some I got second hand from the "Parts for Sale" Section on here): Engine: Mahle 86,5mm pistons Eagle rods ACL bearings ARP bolts HKS 264° High-Lift camshafts HKS cam gears HKS timing belt Toyota water pump Toyota oil pump Supertech +1mm valves Super...

I have been reading this forum for a long time now (7 years) and decided it is time have my own Member Profiles thread. The story so far: - bought a stock Rev2 NA in 2003 - bought a crash damaged Rev3 Turbo at the end of 2005 - swaped the standardish Rev3 3SGTE into my NA in 2006 - bought another cr...

Just to give an update. This has finally turned out OK . Leakie Tbar contacted me a few days ago, saying that he had some issues with a third party. He supplied tracking information, for a package that had been sent on august 10th. This package arrived on august 12th. And it contained the mentioned ...

Well, this is turning out to be quite one-sided. But I for one feel ripped off. If this was intended from the beginning or just turned out this way as the clutch was lost in transit, I don't know. (If it was indeed lost, a claim to the postal service seems like a sensible first step.) But refusing a...

He hasn't read my PMs and he hasn't been in contact yet.

Hi, quite a long time ago I bought a clutch from Leakie Tbar from this Thread: www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=144147 Ha has a lot of positive feedback so I decided to have the clutch off him. At first he was reading and answering his PMs. The last PM he sent me after I had paid for the clutch...

His new website is www.quantumautosport.com . It's only in german though.

I think I'll have to give more details ;). So the car has an AC with a control unit which looks like this (no econ or auto): http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/7983/accontroliw2.jpg And I want to upgrade to an automatic climate controle with a control unit which looks like this: http://img243.images...

Is it possible to upgrade a "standard" AC to an automatic climate control from say a Rev3 GT Turbo?

Received my kit today after it stayed a week at the neighbours' while I wasn't at home...
