I believe thats the factory kit that all st162 SX have, except the side skirts look aftermarket, but the front lip and rear have just been sprayed.

i think those wheel arch flares were custom made/one of a kind.i'm guessing you would have to do the same.

i got my gt2 on monday Smile its goes alright, pretty impressed. i'm just waiting on a new set of leads which i ordered becuase the leads on it are stuffed, and the car runs a bit rough, especially when it gets warmer. about 1 hour ago i put my gt4 calipers and 10" st185 rotors on, just waiting for my friend to come around and help me bleed the brakes! hopefully there's no problems. "fingers crossed" Smile

possibly 2nd gen supra flares?

or maybe find some flares off a torana and slightly modify them something like that buy some and find out they can't be worth too much.

Try emailing him directly, his address is listed on his website as ilpoto@planet.nl

He posts on these forums from time to time as well so I'm sure he'd be happy to fill you in.

Enrage - that's been covered before, short answer is for australian delivered models...only the 1986-1989 Celica SX have the 3S_GE.

fellow celica162 loyalists, can you possible help me out with a bad running 3sge celica SX. It runs dog rich becuase it's not getting enough air, or the ECU is getting bad readings. I know this becuase when i unscrew the idle screw all the way out so it sucks more air in, the idle smooths out and the engine runs better.

The engine will idle good when first started then when warmed up the idle will be going all over the place, with lots of greyish smoke coming out the back, fuel economey is crap, and the engine will nearly stall after you give it a rev.

My hunch is the Air meter (is it an AFM?) It looks as if tho it's been tampered with (has been pulled apart and siliconed back together. I have no information to test it, or to get error codes from the ECU (can this be done with the celica 162?)

I tried in Tech and conversions but nobody seemed to even help me, someone had a service manual and said he would give me info out of that, but have not heard from him.

Is the engine light showing up when you turn on the ignition?
I don't think the AFM has been tampered with, they're all like that. Is the air filter clean?
You mentioned that your getting grey smoke, this makes it difficult because people normally refer to it as white or blue, anyway is the smoke dark and hanging around for ages (blue) or quite light and just evaporates quickly (white)? If so it might be you head gasket, this can explain the idle as well.
Need more details.

Re: ST162 dedicated thread Tue, 03 August 2004 11:22 Go to previous messageGo to next message
Yeah the engine light will come on when you turn the ignition on, then it will go out once the car is started.

I did not know the AFM was supposed to look like that.
I tried running the engine without the air filter (as the air filter had alot of bugs stuck in it) Anyway it did not seem to make a difference so i can rule out the air filter bieng a problem.

Yeah the smoke is greyish, even has a tinge of light brown in it when you shine a torch beam as the smoke at the night-time.

Yes it burns abit of blue smoke too, wich would explian why it uses a litre of oil every 3 weeks or so.

I really don't think it's a BHG, it's air related, more specifically it's not getting enough of it, either the ECU is getting wrong readings from something like the AFM or it's something else related to air.

What does it mean when you take the idle screw all the way out so it's sucking heaps of air in, and it makes the engine run pretty much perfect. To me it means that letting that extra air in via the idle screw is compensating for something else that is cuasing the problem.

i wish there was some way i could test the AFM, like with a multimeter perhaps.

All i can tell you is that the fuel economy has gotten crap, the idle has gotten crap (up and down) and it will get close to stalling after giving it a rev. when i open up that idle screw it doesn't have a problem with stalling or the up and down idling.

i hope that is a detailed enough reply

Very Happy

yeah you can get the error codes, the diagnosis port is on the side wall of the engine bay, in front of the wiper motor, bridge T and E1 and count off the flashes on the engine light. and come back to us with any codes, I can give you the answers.

No sillycar88 grey smoke is usually just carbon build up from too much fuel, mine does that, blue is oil, and white is water.

Umm it may just be that screw you can go into say Dyno tune and they can adjust that until they get it right throughout the rev range.

Re: ST162 dedicated thread Wed, 04 August 2004 02:01 Go to previous messageGo to next message
A few things, not getting enough air is fairly odd, you could have the ol' traditional air leak (check anywhere between AFM and the head for a whistling sound). If you're car is blowing grey smoke then it's likely to be built up carbon or you could just be running rich (the ECU is being told it has more air than it actually does).

There are two screws for the idle afaik - there's one that is near the AFM (I think it's blanked off though, or inoperable on 1st gen 3sge?) and the other is next to the throttle body. The TB one is for idle speed (not sure exactly how it accomplishes that) and the other is for the idle mixture.

Lastly, are all ST162 heads stamped as yamaha heads? I noticed this on a head I picked up but I don't remember seeing that on my current engine's head. Does anyone know what the different numbers mean?

Yeah Grey Smoke? Didn't know that one, hmmmmmmm, ohh well anyway the error code should give a better idea of whats wrong with the ecu and if its anything to do with air intake.

Id be going for something to do with vacuum lines/leak (yes straight outta of the Haynes Manual boys) but it occurred to me seeming your playing around with the idle control and it producing unusual results. Anyway we shall wait for the diagnosis codes.

hey dingaling, i had the same problem as you with my 3sge. it use to bog-down really bad at the lights, and blow heaps of black/grey smoke, especially when i floored it.horrible fuel economy as well. part of the problem was due to a cracked and leaking intake pipe, from AFM to throttle body).i taped this up and it improved it, but not 100%. also my o2 sensor in the exhaust manifold was fouled/covered in carbon, and stuffed, so maybe check your o2 sensor. (sorry i cant spell Smile)

Hey there everybody.
I am new to this forum, so i still dont know too many ppl. So far a lot of these Lickas are lookin damn fine.

I was searching for some pics of sweet Celicas, and i came across one in the US with some sweet gauges that glow Shocked . These are for a ST162 Celica

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/356000-356999/356851_23_full.jpg

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/8/web/356000-356999/356851_21_full.jpg


Anyway, the gauges look wild as they light up blue, and was hoping that someone may know if it is possible to get them over here, where from and how much they would be??

Can anyone help?

Hey Wiso, Thanks for informative reply, ok i did the diagnostics check and these are the codes i got:
21
24
31

I'm pretty sure i read the flashes correctly too.
So please let me know what those codes mean.

Thanx Alot!

Code 21 - Problem with oxygen sensor circuit
Code 24 - Open or short in the intake air sensor circuit
Code 31 - Air Flow Meter (Open or short circuit)

Hope that helps, but you were pretty much right on target with you 1st presumtion, though there might also be probs not concerning the ECU.

thanx silly, so where should i go from here? get a new o2 sensor and AFM from toyota? or can i check and fix the existing AFM and 02 sensor?

yes i think your right about other problems not relating to the ecu, i suspect the last mechanic did the timig wrong, you are supposed to short 2 points on the diagnostic box before setting the timing, well at least with my supra you are supposed to do it that way.


FWDboy, yeah i checked for leaking vacuum hoses first up and couldn't find or hear any leaks.

If the ECu was getting more air then it thought it was then it would be running lean and not rich right? the inside of the TVIS pipe is caked with what looks like oil. I can't see how to clean inside that pipe without removing the whole intake manifold off.
Yeah i found that other screw located on the AFM, I haven't touched that screw.

Aust162, How much was a new 02 sensor? The main air pipe (off the AFM) had an unusual shape to it on the end that attaches to the TVIS pipe almost like it was melted, but i think that was the way it was made.

Ok so me and my mate whent to toyota and asked about a new AFM, they said "$1000" FuCK THAT!

anyone have a spare one that works they could sell? also an o2 sensor.

if not then where would be a good place to get one cheaper then $1000.

you can buy an O2 sensor from oldcorollas on the forums here.. he has great prices too.. about $65 I think

AFM.. if you want to phone Celicar Spares here in Sydney to see if he has one.. I will go get it and mail it down to you if he won't ship if you like. Give me like $20 or so for postage, a box from the post shop, some fluffy stuff and petrol and I can get it to you. A wrecked 162 shouldn't be hard to find with one on though dude

That is correct, I said the same thing, just the other way around, the ECu is being TOLD it is getting more air than it actually is - ie it's calculating fuel for a larger flow of air when in reality the actual amount of air reaching the engine is much smaller - ie richer mixture.

Of course in your case it looks like you have some electrical issues as opposed to vacuum leak.

before u guys tell me to do a search, i did n couldnt find anything so here goes - Would i have to put the gen1 wsge intake/plenum onto a gen2 3sge from a jap spec 182 for it to fit into the engine bay of the 162? Or would it bolt straight in as it is already set up for FWD - I know that these have to be changed around for a gen3 sw20 engine, but as its FWD already what the go? Lookin at gettiun one of the 1/2 cuts from the for sale section instead of a gen3 import.

What ya reckon? Cheers fellas

yeah I don't see why not man, it should work fine with the 182 manifolds, after all if the mr2 gen2 manifolds fit, those will.

This is something no one has tried so you can't really ask, you'll just have to give it ago yourself Smile

EDIT:

haha just saw the pics, yeah it should work fine, if you wanna wait for a bit of info though, me and a friend "farmsci_st162" are putting a gen2 with the gen2 manifolds out of an mr2 in his st162 this weekend, then it may be a little while working out some custom pipes and wiring.

No one else has really done this and he prides himself on that. ohh well he really wants the extra power cause he has the bathurst edition one, 125kw Up To Something

um i hate to be anoying but im pretty sure that the bathurst edition 3sge is the gen 3, cos the gen 2 3sge only has 118kws i think.
correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure thats the case also an article in fast fours which outlines all the models and what cars they came in also says this.

sorry if im being a techno nerd but i did a bit of research into the feasability of installing this engine into a st162 and i think its the go. and with a bit of work (cams, port&polish, lightened flywheel, extractors&zorst plus management) Very Happy u could be putting the wind up alot turbo cars Twisted Evil .

of course as always i could be totally wrong. Laughing Laughing

Considering the also get the intake manifold... will the exhuast manifold also fit?

yes there are issues with that, as i know the gen 2 and gen 3 heads are different but there is probally an addapter out there somewhere.

The ecu will be a problem.

Probally easyer to get a Gen 3 and an ecu to match.

Re: ST162 dedicated thread Tue, 17 August 2004 05:38 Go to previous messageGo to next message
StuC, I'm in the same boat as you.....I'm giving serious thought to replacing the tired (263000km) 3SGE in my ST162 with a Gen 2 or 3 3SGE.

I know the Gen 2 will fit in the engine bay of an ST162, and here's a pic to prove it!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid135/p3fd2d4920a5a3f173b12cd960510fc01/f764982e.jpg

This is a pic taken by a friend (you out there Sez?) when they were considering buying this ST162 a few months ago. When the car was inspected it turned out to be a lemon (and considering the filthy state of the engine bay that's no real surprise) so they didn't buy it, but you can see that it fits no worries.

My guess is that if a Gen 2 fits OK then a Gen 3 would be fine as well. (Since they both went into SW20 MR2s and the engine bay on those didn't change) But I'm just guessing here and could well be wrong.

So it looks like these motors will physically fit, my concern would be how easy they would be to wire into the ST162. I'm hoping it will be a plug and play excercise, but somehow I don't think it would be that simple....... But again, this pic proves that it has been done and hopefully the wiring isn't too bad.

Wiso, keep us up to date on how your friends conversion goes! I will be very interested to know the outcome on that one. But I think olihaub is right, the Gen 2 3SGE from the ST182/MR2 (Shown in the pic) has 117kW. The Gen 3 3SGE (with 125kW) was in the Bathurst MR2 (and JDM ST202 Celicas) released in 1994. As an old fart, I have magazines from 1994 that show this!

Sweet!thanx for that Matt. i was gonna go the gen3 but fundin is a bit tight, so im thinkin gen2 with some cams n headwork would be fine! Im thinkin that the wiring up wouldnt be too bad,it was originally in a celica (182) so it should be fairly similar.

thanx again

Sweet!thanx for that Matt. i was gonna go the gen3 but fundin is a bit tight, so im thinkin gen2 with some cams n headwork would be fine! Im thinkin that the wiring up wouldnt be too bad,it was originally in a celica (182) so it should be fairly similar.

thanx again


Yeah I agree with you there, I think the Gen 2 would probably be easier to wire up then the Gen 3, since the Gen 2 is from the ST182 and as you said should be fairly similar. The Gen 3 is likely to have more differences since it is a generation later and no doubt Toyota kept fiddling with them in the intervening years.

And if you really want 125kW, it should be fairly easy to get from a motor that has 117kW to start with....we're only talking 8kW here and that should be quite easy to achieve with a CAI and extractors. It's a much bigger difference from 103kW (Gen 1) to 117, so I think I'd be pretty happy with a Gen 2. Should be cheaper than a Gen 3 and easier to wire up to boot.

For now I think I'll see how wiso's mate's conversion goes, should answer all of our questions!

*cough* expecting a write up with pics *cough* Razz

yeah ill let you all know how much of a pain in the arse wiring is within a couple of weeks, shouldnt be TOO many hassles. by the looks of it ive just gotta track down what plug is what on the gen 2 loom and find the corresponding plug on the gen 1 loom and swap em over. But then again... how often is it as easy as it seems... if it was always as easy as it seems i wouldnt be driving a shitbox magna right now.

The engine goes in this weekend, ill post up some pics if yas like.

Hey hey steve you see that it man, it has been classed as a conversion rather than just a swap you gotta be happy with that.

79rollaboy, 95% of the time the front window leaks it is due to rust Sad . you are best to get it done properly. They use a Polly urethane sealant, not a dodgy sikaflex type sealant. Best to do it right the first time.

Cheers

Jeff

Yeah mine leaks too mate, bestvthing is to take it down to a wnidow place, im using National widnscreens as they are cheap and do a good job - they're gonna pull the old one out, clean up any rust and refit it (if they dont break it when pulling iot out). The rubbers are actually only decorative on the 162s, the just sit under and around the black strip they dont actually stop it leaking. all up if they break the glass im lookin at 156bux.

Hope this helps

Check if the window actually comes up to the rubber, if it doesn't then that's your problem otherwise start looking for them holes.

If it's the first problem just take the door lining off and check that the window mechanism is together and working properly. Smile

sorry to butt in with an old problem fella's.

I had the idling issue, and got codes from the ECU saying the AFM and 02 were cactus, well i got another AFM and 02 for a good price (thanx karl). anyway i installed them and reset the ECU and it helped with the running rich problem, no more plumes of grey smoke out the exuast, abit more responsive when driving and i would expect the fuel econemy will be back to normal. But the darn hunting idle problem still persists. It seems to only happen every now and again, usually just after driving. The engine sounds abit lumpy too, not as smooth as what i remember. I'm at the end of my tether with this. what could it be? I'm going to try better fuel, and also do the timing, just incase the previous mechanic didn't do it properly (ie short the diag block first) Someone mentioned it's a common problem regarding the intake manifold.

any suggestions would be great.

i changed my fuel filter 2 weeks ago on mine. i found it to be pretty annoying but not hard. had to take the left wheel off to get to the outlet fitting.

The part no is z394 for 3sge.

RRP: westfil $68.99 and ryco is $69.99, dont know toyota, but it should be more than that...

ok i know this could go in parts wanted but i thought i might try here first, if not i'm off to the wreckers.

I'm looking for a drivers seat out of a 162, i don't want the seat itself, i want the bottom mounts and rails attached to it.
