toyota1515 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Did the Intercooler piping today, it came up really fluid and good i like it a lot! Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 This is really a bizarre way to go with the engine but still impressive how much lower than stock is this? Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks, to be honest i never measure how low or how much i lower my rides i only know that i go down till i am happy with the looks! Quote Link to comment
boonedock saints Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Great attitude on the build, I can tell by the manifold...luv it...fabing scares a lot of people, holds them back sometimes..keep it up, I want to hear or see numbers/stories on this ride when your closer. :thumbup: "i only know that i go down till i am happy with the looks!"

DRIVEN Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Cool looking swap. I don't have much Toyota experience so maybe you can set me straight. Isn't this kind of the same as putting a carbed turbo A-series in place of a Z22e in a 200sx? It looks really cool. Is there going to be much of a performance gain or is it more for the visual impact? Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wel the first part of your question i didnt understand it, this came from factory with a 22R 2.4 weak engine EFI, and i swap a 3TC 1.8 proven to be super tuff engine with forged internals, ported head and a turbo cam. initially it was gonna be EFI but the guy change his mind and went to a blow thru carb setup, not so much difference in power output, and by the way it is all functional and power levels will be up in the mid 400's Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Mid 400s? Wow. Quote Link to comment
Wrodz1980 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The 3tc is a beast of an engine. Not a bizarre choice if you are a true old school Toyota fan and probably one of the most sought after, reliable and rock solid poweplants Japan has produced. It's a true baby Hemi :) Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ah, so its like replacing a 103hp Nissan Z24i with a 400 hp Nissan CA18DET. Sure it is smaller, but ... Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 initially it was gonna be EFI but the guy change his mind and went to a blow thru carb setup, not so much difference in power output Huge difference in power output. Nice build though. Quote Link to comment
toyota1515 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Huge difference in power output. Nice build though. Not really if you know what you are doing! Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 yes and no. I have a great deal of experience with carbs. But EFI is just so cheap and easy these days though. Quote Link to comment
humma Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 What company did you get your coil overs off? Been looking everywhere with no lucky D: Quote Link to comment

toyota1515 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 yes and no. I have a great deal of experience with carbs. But EFI is just so cheap and easy these days though. Well i do have couple of guys running in the 4 second zone in the 1/8 mile using carburated setups, i do have being in the 5.57 at 127MPH with an engine like this using dual 45 webber carbs modified for turbo and running em at 47PSI, yeap i understand EFI is the way to go and they are NOT cheap whatsoever if you using a good system, but yeap is the way to go, but here specifically the owner is who ask for the carb setup so, carb it is!
