i didnt know where to post this as there is no 'SERVICES' section but i am after someone in sydney that could come to my place to check that the 3TGTE motor in my TA22 is all hooked up right.
Im not worried about wiring whatsover as i am geting that all done by a sparky, but i just want to know if everything else is hooked up right (hoses, plugs and what not, everything other than wiring)
the motor in the car came out of another TA22 but the guy i got it off didnt complete the transfer though he said everything is there just not all connected.
I would appreciate anyone who could come past as car obviously doesnt start and check it all for me? whether you are a mechanic and know the motor well or just someone who knows the motor back to front.
i am more than happy to pay for your services, but not prepared to pay a ridiculous amount cause like i said everything is there i just want a once over for piece of mind
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be happy for you to compare off my 3TGTE in TA23, but you live about 5 hours from me.
Anyway good luck, hope someone helps you out.
BTW post you car up on members rides when it gets going and let us know how she goes.

if you mean that then i would really appreciate a pic of the plenum side of the motor if you could its the hoses/piping that im concerned about
if you want pics then go here
http://members.optusnet.com.au/fadee
the digi cam i used is crap but you get the picture. please look at pic celica0061 thats the one im concerned about. the top left one loops, and the top right one loops aswell and the bottom one from the advance goes to what i believe to be the fuel regulator.
i hope what i have said makes sense and if i could get better pics would help. the cam i use is that mini digi cam thats the size of a match box (you know which one> danoz direct sell them)
anyway if i could get pics of that part would be awsome. also you will notice that i have pics of other toymods members engine, iv been using that for reference as well. they are pics 3TGTEpic/2 but they are different to each other and different to how mine is done
I AM SO FREAKING CONFUSED MAN

You should talk to Sideshow who is a sponsor of these forums. He is unreal with wiring and done plenty of 3t-gte engines (originally wired mine? and built it also).
Get him to come around for a few hours and check it all out for you.

i sent you a pic of the 3tgte i got to your email, i don't know if it waill help but it is of a supposebly running stgte (it doesn't actually run but this is not because of the wiring or plumbing and is much more of a simpler problem than that).
hope it helps you

I suggest you get Sideshow around to check stuff for you. After he wired my car, he helped me out with a bunch of other stuff like all the vacuum hoses and fuel system and cooling system. The guy is a friggin whizz at everything!

Sideshows details normally come up in the sponsor section at the top of the forums. Sideshows performance wiring. Just do a few refreshes
