hey guys just wondering to get the sump off what do you need to do besdies unbolt etc ? , any removing of the gbox ? (3sge)
No you don't have to remove the gearbox. Remove the oil pan and you can unbolt the oil pickup. Remove the timing belt & covers and then you can remove the houseing that hold the pump on the front of the block.
the thing that all ur oil sits in lol , at the bottom end of the motor , when you do a oil change you undo the sump plug to let the oil out , you know which part now
mine looked like this when i pulled the 1st gen..new high performance sump $219.99 :O http://www.st162.com/forums/viewtopic.p ... highlight=
thanks nice metal shavings lol , i wont be doing any of the work the garage will be im just soo hoping right now that my crank isnt screwed
I wasnt that mad my crank got scraped up..i had it knife edged..lost 8 lbs off the crank..balanced thre rods..lost another 1.5 there with all 4 Our situations are very simular sprey..kinda funny
if its messed up where the bearings mount onto the crank..You'd be better off buy a new one..might be able to have it micro polished but depends on how bad the crank is, my crank had a chunk of it missing on the ends..whatever those things are called.
yeah i just hoping i dont have to replace the crank more $$ lol but yeah work getn done soon i cnt wait !
Maybe you might be able to find a billet or forged crank if you had to replace it..Might as well upgrade it while your at it man
None. You could get a lighter crank, or a knife edged crank that would spin faster, but a crank won't give you more power. A stronger crank means less chance of it warping if you go after more power. A crank is just yet another part that equals the whole. I know that with SBCs I have run upwards of 300% more power on stock cranks with no issues.
Right no more power but you'd rev out alot faster..I noticed a dif when i installed a lightened crank pulley [loss of about 2-3 lbs] Think of how much harder you will pull with 9.5 lbs off the rotating assy..And if you went forged, Someday if you wanted you could use a nice shot of nitrous at the track with a clear conscious
yeah .. but i think at the mo i just get the bottom end done to standard because this will be my dd and i dont really need a faster car yet , maybe for my 2nd one , tho i woundnt mind changing exhaust on this 1 soon haha
haha tru i found a 1992 celica type g 4ws convertible for sale , automatic ( not that i care) wof and rego ( so it is road legal) for 500-1500= auction estimate i gonna go check it out either 2mrw or thursday , might get it do it up a bit and then sell it , because i doubt ill be aloud 2 cars tho i shud be aloud at least 1 car to do up and the sell , but it depends what it is look so my inspection should conclude , and now since i know what stuffed bottom ends sound like ill be a bit more on top
