Edwin 3S-GTE Regular Registered: February 2004	Re: Edwin's ex-3SGTE ST162, now for sale with the standard 3SGE back in... Fri, 11 February 2005 14:56 To get it road-worthy again, we had to drive it so a test center for a checkup. This is when the 3S-GE engine went bad on us! There was a knocking sound, which indicated faulty main bearings, and I was just about to give up on this project! At the test center So, we decided to make the 3S-GTE swap a rush job and just put it in there. I trusted the guy, who said everything was going to be OK. 3S-GE out... 3S-GTE in... He used soft hoses to connect the Supra MK3 frontmount he had lying around, which was a low-budget but temporary solution. I myself did some welding (first time for everything eh?) to get the stock exhaust to fit the 3S-GTE downpipe. Again a temporary solution. Meanwhile I found some 16" tires for the wheels I bought along with the car, so I could finally ditch the 14". Looked much better. After a few weeks, I noticed the engine used a rediculous amount of oil. About 1 litre on 400km. The mechanic guy blaimed the turbo, so we took it off and sent it for a rebuild, which was very expensive, and solved nothing. Good as new, but that wasn't the problem In the meantime, I sourced some pipes which I had welded into a custom frontmount intercooler hardpipe system. By that time I had already installed a secondhand alu intercooler. [Report message to a moderator]
