Your ride is awesome, power-weight-ratio must be quite good. :faq:

when engine is not running, throttle won´t open more than 1/3 approx. When engine is running, there is motor which opens thottle when engine wants, you can give order for full throttle, but engine desides how quick it opens it. My engine wouldn´t take rpm and it was little bit :D when I had too open intake, no filter and 3" pipe where afm was. When I choked intake before afm, it started to idle nice and it tooked rev nicely. Stock aircleaner box is not so free flowing, there is approx 3"~76mm pipe where afm is in stock aircleaner box. But I had to make 57mm destriction before afm, to get it work somehow properly. rpm meter won´t be affected by throttle. I think more of something later.

valves, titanium valves :D automatic altezza have slightly different figures, 10hp less power and max torque comes in 4800, when in manual it comes in 6400 iirc. Rumours says that automatic model have different cams and even slightly different head, can´t confirm this yet. Intake valvebuckets seems to have somekind of problems, I know 2 cases that cams have grind almost holes to top of the buckets. Buckets stays always in one position, won´t rotate as they should and cam hits always in same position :(

3S-GE beams comes in 2 form, Redtop and Blacktop. Red is from MR2 and Celica, it´s with VVT-i. Blacktop is from Altezza and it´s with Dual VVT-i, intake and exhaust variable valve timing intelligence. Beams comes from words Breakthrough Engine Advanced Mechanism System. Those are completely factory engines. Natural aspirated sceamers. Redtop 200hp and Blacktop 210hp. Japanese small horses thou :D I have 195 @ 7800 in my Blacktop.

and here is one of my newest project, girlfriends KE17 restoration project. front pic from the paintshop and on the background my "new" AW11. this is before pic. After pic is not ready yet :D

thanks, here is latest pic of 3S-GE beams carina.front I made something new to front suspension coilover Now I have driven with it few days and otherwise works great, but differential makes howling noise, have to change that and exhaust is a bit too loud.

good luck mate, its going to be fun, when its done. I put beams to my carina 2004-2005 and it was really hard to find wirings. Now it´s done and works fine. Give us some pics.

if you have altezza rear brakes, those are quite simple to attach to hiace/hilux rear. I´ve done it. But that axle weight is huge, so not good at all. I have changed/built front hubs to 5*114,3 so altezza brakes fitted front also.

I have that same sway bar problem in my car also. I have found a company which will make one just like I want to. otherwise like original shape, but "little" loop in the middle, which goes between sump and axle. You figure that gear thing when you see the box. No internal things, just outside parts and those are ment to be both ways, mayby some other model have it otherwise.

btw, you can easily move that gearstick approx 2" more front. Just swing that part vertically where gearstick lower ball stands. Which is held there with one 8mm bolt and on "stud", which you can hammer out. And that gearstick "housing" can be moved to the other holes that 2" more front. hope you understood my weak "english" explanation.

looks familiar, done that conversion to my TA12 carina. Keep up good work, it will be great, I know :jamie: had no problems with gearstick

I think there are lots of different kind of good headgaskets for -GE and -GZE engines, I think those should fit to plain 4A-C engines as well. But I think also it´s better to use your money to 4A-G series engine.

Little by little, 228rwkW is a good start. And there are lots of potential, so lets wait you have fix those minor things and have few more km to it. It´s really nice looking, good job ;)

damn, I thought she...

looks nice, but first buy something like that and then write "romutettavaksi" to that cardboard box below. Are you just collecting those to destroy them :P when flame is going to sing, I can´t wait anymore, hurry up dude summer is near, only -4 decrees anymore :P

here are few old (2004) pics of carina: TA12 from rear engine front nowadays there are those bigger wheels because of bigger brakes.

thank you guys. Few specs of that '72 TA12. Unwelded body, 165000km driven, stock white interior. Engine, brakes and transmission from 1999 SXE10 altezza. 2 litre 16 valve 3S-GE, 6-speed manual transmission, ~300mm disc brakes every corner. Hi-ace narrowed rearaxle. 7*15" 5-lug steel wheels. Once re-painted in the 90´s. Natural aspirated screamer, max hp and rev limiter in same place, 7800rpm. Usa/japan lights rear and in front bumber, JDM fender mirrors, no music things, tinted windows. KE20 was with 5K, otherwise stock, 159000km driven, bought from first owner. I had idea to charge it with toyota sc14 supercharger, but I sold it, so that wasn´t complete yet. Charger was in it, but no boost actually. No that charger is going to 7K publica. Summer tires were 175/50 13" with chromies and there is 175/65 14" studded winter tires in picture. KE11 is bought from first owner also, just over 60000km driven. Original red paint is little shaded, almost pink now. In quite good shape. Completely stock, just little wearing from 36 years of use. TA12 which is with blown 2T turbo engine at the moment. Not in use at the moment, because of a melted piston. RT51 and RT89 coronas are "extremely" rare in finland. Those are waiting for better days. 20 of those RT51 coupe coronas came in Finland 1967. Not many exist anymore. That RT89 wagon is '73 and came to finland in 1975 from usa. I think no wagons of that series of coronas came to europe?, and my wagon "is" the only one in Finland. If someone have something knowledge to that, please let me know. One AE92 is waiting to be done, came from usa 1993. It's going to be regular winter car. Nowadays driving with loaned (from mom)AE111 2D corolla. -KRN-

crappy engine pic of my best car TA12 while doing electrics to it

Here are my cars and projects listed somehow. KE11, completely stock. Just keeping it in garage and if sun shines sometimes summer I might take her out. Girlfriend have KE17 sprinter and I´m restoring it. TA12 carina, which have blacktop beams 3S-GE. TA12 carina, which is with 2T turbo engine with AE86 axles and brakes. One newer AE92 sedan, which might turn to something wicked. Two coronas, RT51 and RT89, which are coming projects. I also had KE20 with 5K engine with SC14 supercharger, but had to sell it. few pics of those cars. KE11 TA12 TA12 turbo RT51 RT89 ex KE20 SC and then I help my friend Marko with his KE20 lil pink and with his charged publica.

hello toycrash, it´s a small world this internet :P

hello mate, awesome cars you have there. (link my carina pics also :P someone liked carinas, but this ain´t carina forum) have to take pics of my rollas somewhere.
