Club Racer project : TWO IS200s(LHD) with 3S-GE swap!!!

[mlcoolj]

the hood of the tezz/is200 is very heavy or at least feels so...

[motorklasse]

Attained 4AG black top ITB for the winter project!
Gotta clean it and install with other parts.

[mlcoolj]

whoa! good stuff man! I'm keen to see what the power output before and after the install will be..

[motorklasse]

Started working on putting 4AG throttles into 3S-GE.
It's PITA because lots of modification required to make it fit.
After some good search and discussions, we decided to just weld to 3S-GE manifold.
I will keep posting the updates.

Changed timing belt, water pump and etc while I was at installing ITBs.




Finished mounting ITBs onto 3S-GE intake manifold. :clap:




Also installed oil catch tank while I was at it.



Although I need to wait for the velocity stacks and filter, I already started on AEM EMS-4 tuning.

I love this build!!!

Thanks! Here is more updates.

While I am waiting for the Velocity stacks and Uni-filter for the ITBs, I decided to install poly-carbonate windows.
It should save me at least 30lb since I am removing window motor/regulator and etc.

can wait to see the power does itbs put out

This build gets better every time I look at it.

[mlcoolj]

that's just mad! great stuff man!! Keep it up!

[motorklasse]

I swapped stock 4.1 final gear with 4.3.
With added power with ITB, 4.3 gearing should resolve long 3rd gear acceleration.






Also replaced stock rear knuckle pillow-ball bushing with Hardrace since the stock one had much play.
Had to fabricate own special tool to push out the stock bushing without disassembling whole wheel hub.







Old stock bushing.




New hotness Hardrace bushing!

I want that tool you're using! good stuff man.. how much power do you think she'll be puting out?

I would say 200-220rwhp?

Very, very, VERY impressive! You guys are doing it the right way.
Here in the Netherlands people have tried racing the IS200 but only with the 1gfe engine. They had no real successes.
Competitors raced cars like the BMW 3-series. Putting in the 3sge you showed that a few good races can be one with the Altezza/IS body
Keep up your nice work!

[motorklasse]

Thank you!

Installed Techno Toy Tuning's velocity stacks and Uni-filter.
Now it's time to finalize the tune with AEM EMS-4.
