Did my project have future??

Hi folks, I have an st162 3sge, and my idea is pass to put turbo, I have already some parts to do that, but I wanted to know what you think about that:

- St162 3sge with harness and all sensor that it contain
- St 165 pistons ( Or St185 that I think its works too in st165 engine)
- Supra CT26 turbo
- Megasquirt, With 3sge or 3sgte map's I don't know yet
- 440cc Injectors
- Fuel pomp of supra MKIII turbo
- And compression of 3sgte

Do you think it will work?'

Thanks

 

Yes, I'm sure of that, but I live in Portugal and yere is not easy to find 3sgte, I can buying one in England or USA but is too much port to pay...
See I have already much of that stuf, it's better and easyer ( € ) do the transformation like I say before...

 

Yes but the 3sgte ECU meens 3sgte harness, and I don't know if the 3sgte harness fit on the 3sge block and head, so that why I going to use a standalone like the Megasquirt, because I can fit the 3sge map's ignition, and the EFI map into, and make the correcction of fuel/air...

 

im pretty much doing the same thing as you right now

 

what happens if you dont intercool

 

Yes for intercooling I'll use an FMIC, that a point that I forgot but just in this list, not in the project...


My only problem are the MAF 3sge, I don't know if it's diferent that an 3SGTE MAF, and if that will be a problem to me..

 

Rssss My Inglish is not perfect, but your portuguese are...lol :wink:

 

lol im going to use a 3sge MAF and see what happens too

 

if i were you i would get the 3sgte ecu. That way you have a base map to work with. As far as needing a 3sgte harness...its not necessary. For me I am using a 5sfe harness and just ran my own wires where needed. But if i could do it over i would have sent my harness somewhere to have them do the work for me. for example http://www.phoenixtuning.com/services.html

The most important thing is to buy a EWD. For the motor and for whatever harness you are goin to use.

I have to say megasquirt is for serious tuners. You have to know a lot about tuning and creating your own fuel/ignition maps. I don't know ur knowledge level but i am just letting you know.

 

What a EWD??

Yes I know that megasquirt is more dificulte to map, but is the cheaper standalone too, I know some people who used megasquirt for his car, and they can help mi, like a friend who make file for all cars...

An other question is, can exist any place on web where I can find the ignition map of an 3sge??

Thanks

 

EWD=eletrical wiring diagram.

As long as you have someone to help you set up the maps and building of the unit itself then you are good to go. Price is one of the main reasons why people go with megasquirt and letting the tuner have complete control over all the inputs. once you figure out those maps...it would be very useful for the community if you posted up your settings. Just so someone doing a similar job can have soemthing to work with.

It is a great standalone and i wish you luck.
