3stge Swap?, Do it?

So as you know iv has a bad run with the toys latly 2 dud motors and my gtt gets written of by drunk driver so I'm thinking swapping my 3sgte into my altezza... I work in a fab shop so il do all my fab work jl make new intake an exhaust manifolds and mounts what else do I need to do I know I need to tilt engine about 20deg to the intake side but yea what else needs done??? Cheers guys

have u read this http://z4.invisionfree.com/lexusaltezzaclu...topic=10331&hl=

hay mate cant view it no permission haha but if i can do it i have a like new greedy kit with rebuilt td04 with 20g wheel and power fc to sell to

Easier and more beneficial to just do 1j imo

Oh how I'd love to but iv got the 3sgte so I thort I'd just do that ae

Leiden did it in his one. got a pretty good result from memory. Send him a message.

pretty sure he used the altezza sump arrangement and pickup so the motor could sit upright.

I sent you a pm, its a more cost effective option than a jz.. wiring is really the only major

Leidin can you check your pms running into trouble can I use my power fc and altezza manual v box???

So I'm going trough with the swap and iv got a full turbo kit for a beams but I can't use most in the swap ul have a power fc rebuilt tdo4 with 20g wheel hasn't been run since rebuild denso 540cc injectors down pipe with wastegate plumb in, im going to need an ecu to run the 3sgte so could do some swapping to get what I need so let me know what you got and can get something sorted

Hey man where abouts in Chch are you could be keen to come around and grab any bits that I don't already have. Cheers

Hay mate I'm in oamaru what bits you after??

do you have an oil feed line by any chance?

I do have a braided one mate I'd rather sell the lot rather than all the wee bit separately ae

sooo ina a hole on witch turbo to use on my 3sgte transplant il make my own mild steel mani but what turbo??? t3t4 t04e or some thing bit smaller??

Go for a GT2871r. Great size turbo for ST215 Caldina engine

Disco potato?? Would be keen as but Pretty tight for cash ATM!

Nah disco potato is GT2860r the 71 comp wheel is better suited to the later gen 3SGTE's.

Just wait till one becomes available second hand. You would be much better in the long run as the TD04 is rather small. Turbos are expensive for a reason!

Il have to keep an eye out! Iv got to get the thing wired up and sitting right so that will be my 1200 gone with out buying a turbo

Disco might be a little small IMO.

Thats all good man what size are the outlet holes that go in to the banjo bolts on each end of the feed line?

Il measure it up tonight for you mate

Hay guys would a gt3076 be to big?? Has a 4'' intake that's what scared me??

Did u manage to get that oil feed line measurement?

Hay mate sorry been flat out will try for tomo yea?? And guys I got a turbo on it's was a garrett TA3410 with the .48 exhaust housing...

so iv got my engine mounted, oval to round transition exhaust mani flange tuned collector built turbo choosen and postion set intake mani modifyed to use 3sgte runners and flange next to weld up inatke fully and do exhaust manifold... not long now...
