Are 3t-c Motors Worth A Damn?

[beatdownte27mango]

DDDDAMN, that sounds like my kind of car!!! With my luck, I would wind up dead or without a liscence in a week with that kind of power to weight...

 

CUCY, thanks for your .02, I think I'm gonna stick with the 3t-c for a while and see what she'll do. I like the idea of going fast with an old ass engine =)

The guys in Puerto Rico do 8 second passes at the drag strip on 3T engines ! Old engine maybe, but like anything it can be made to make serious power.

 

CUCUY, welcome to the board, glad to have you here with us! We don't have a lot of 2T or 3T experts here just yet.

yup, the guys in puerto rico are fast. and yup, alot of power =)

 

Grimwolge> thanks and good to be here. not an expert, but very informed and an old schooler myself.

i drive a TE72 (1980 liftback) corolla with a 3TC.

 

mods so far area Doug Thorley header, maganflow round muffler with side exit before rear tire. gutted interior, ripped out A/C and readjusted carb.

 

future mods are going to be a set of dual side draft webers or mikuni's, complete overhaul of motor, new engle cam (EP25 grind), head work, roller rockers, forged pistons and connecting rods and mororso oil pan.

[CUCUY]

Nice ! what a setup. That should haul arse with a pair of webers on it.

 

Any pics?

right now motor looks like this

 

not actual picture becasue my car is left hand drive versus right hand drive everywhere else.

 

 

but i want it to look like this when i'm done

 

 

but all in due time =)

Keep us up to date =)

You know you can get roller rockers =)

[irokin]

200 RW KW @ 520nm of torque on 11 PSI of boost, now running 20+ PSI of boost through the Garrett GT27-81r ! Insanse! I was scared to be a passenger back when it ran the stock turbo =)

GT2871R ;)

[irokin]

They just released the GT3071R =) ;) :lovin: its huuugeee. Sliced 1000rpm off the spool time of the GT30R

I hear that rotaries are pretty big in Puerto Rico too. If I was going to get rid of my 3t-c I like the prospects of a 13bt in my mango... You gotta love a motor that putts out over 200 bhp and is light enough to pick up without any help =) I know that you guys in Australia got Mazda Cosmos, have any of the old school toyota guys over there swapped in 20b's into their cars? Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing ;)

i'd stay with a 13B instead of a 20B for weight purposes and cost wise.

 

 

but you can still make more power and toruque with the toyota engine than the rotary.....IMO

[beatdownte27mango]

Really? Even better then... Has anyone dropped a 2JZGTE into a rolla? That would be a MONSTER!!!

[CUCUY]

well, hopefully my major future mod will be dropping in a 3S with a 6speed from an Altezza and boosting it like there's no tommorrow......but all in due time.
