engine rebuild + mods

Subspec, sc2jz and myself are the only ones I know of that could potentially be successful in the endeavor you plan to undertake.

Personally, it would take me the better part of 6 months working at my full time job just to afford all the parts you need and probably another 2-4 months to put it all together. Unless you have done this exact mod several times before, allow twice as long as you deem necessary, to do the swap. This way you can fix the little issues that always pop up and fix them right while the car is torn apart so you don't pay for it in the long run.

Trust me, you will be putting an ungodly amount of strain on an engine not necessarily designed to take that level of abuse, so it will need all the help it can get.

I don't want to peg you as the same type of trash as GTS19, but that is the road you are going down until you prove you can fund this project and/or pull it off.
You said you have loans sucking up all your cash? It took me 90% of every paycheck for months at a 40 hour a week job to pay for my project and
I had no large debts going in like you do.

Read the entire thread at the link below before you ask anymore questions, this forum and its members will not sugar coat their replies to questions about wild mods.
To see my reference to GTS19, look here:
3sgte....2zzge?

i didnt mean to offend anyone if thats wat i did, im talking thoery right now.

maybe i should say that i have degrees in Automotive technologies, High performance powertrains, and chassis fabrication. the two things i lack are hands on experience and the cash. if i do twin charge it wont be for a year or two at the least.

and on the note of GTS19.... no way in **** would i attempt that (trying to be nice)

my celica and one other car are the only two cars i plan doing any kind of build to ever and the other is just as insane and just as difficult but i cant do normal its just not in my nature, if i fail or change my mind thats all well and good cause i know i learned more than i ever could doing the samething others have done

[subspec]

not to be a downer. but degree's dont mean anything, ive proven ASE master techs and toyota techs wrong. and i hold a bachleors in information system security (computer security) and am a aerospace propulsion journeymen(jet engine mechanic), i should be a craftsman, specialising in the t56-15 motor (c130) tallon ii, combat shadows, and kings. and have worked on cv-22's


with that being said, i belive you can do this and in theroy it all sounds sound, at least in my insane mind with an insane engine build. but id like to see some action and what have you considered. what do you know about building a 5s? do you know the diffrence between a thick block and a thin block, do you know the diffrences in the 3s block and 5s block. also with considerations of the 3sgte heads, do you know any diffrences between them? if you dont let us know. we/i can educate you on the diffrences. and do you have a HP goal?

i want to see this build progress. but you maybe over thinking alot of things

[CantiTheFireStarter]

i agree, thats why i am on this form, to learn everything i can, while i do the rebuild and get the some experience i need in real life.

the thin block is wat i hav right now in my car right now, isnt it the 98 camry- solara 5sfe that is the thick block??? i know the way you identify the difference between the two is at one end its rounded on one and squared.

the 3s head is a gen based type deal, hav to match everything up to fit right....
some gens have squared ports and some hav oval ports( cant remember if its exhaust, in take or both of the top of my head

anywhere between 350hp and 550hp, its more for that N/A responsiveness, and the power and torque you can get from forced induction

[subspec]

your best option i belive is to get a 3sgte and dual charge that. bottom end is pretty much bullet proof.

Having access to hydrajet equipment makes these builds so much easier.

Ditto here, my father is a ASE Master and I have had much more success working on my Toyota than he has. I do give him a ton of credit for teaching me most of what I know though.

I hold zero technology degrees and barely attended college, but I spent the better part of my adolescent life working on or around automobiles.

I have maybe a cumulative of about 8 years automotive experience so far and I'll admit last the 3 of the 8 were spent tinkering on Hondas. I earned my chops by staying neck deep in grease instead of eye deep in books.

Not to be cliche, but "I lol'ed in my mouth" again.
It is possible, but unlikely you will ever reach that power goal in a street car.
You will end up with a car that is too powerful to steer unless you beef up everything
