Soon to be 3SGZE!

Instead of the usual 3SGTE conversion, im going to be supercharging my gen 2 3SGE hence 3SGZE. Reason being i want constant power and not having too wait for boost. Also, the 3SGE is a good starting base due to the long runners which will make it even more responsive which is what i am hoping for.

First im going to make the 3SGE stronger. Due to the 3SGE sharing the same conrods and crank as the 3SGTE, i already know these are up to the job. As for the pistons, i am wanting to keep the standard compression ratio (10:1). As i can't find any forged pistons with a 10:1 compression, i'm going to use the standard 2JZ-GE pistons. These have the same bore and stroke as the 3SGE (86mm x 86mm), same cmpression, same pin type, can handle the amount of power i am wanting and far cheaper.

Then im going all out on the motor such as a lightweight flywheel, lightweight pulleys (cam, crank, etc), bore out the intake manifold, intake and exhaust ports, 3SGTE injectors and fuel pump.

Then im going for an ECU. Depending on my budget, i will be going aftermarket. If not, i will swap the 3SGE ECU and loom for the 3SGTE ECU and loom.

As for the supercharger, i will be using an SC14 supercharger off the 1GGZE Toyota engine. This is a roots type SC so will have superb mid range power and with the ACIS, should have all round power.

To make this even more reliable, i will be using a water to air intercooler, ARP bolts and studs, metal head gasket, aluminium rad, all the essentials.

To free up even more power, i will be going with a titanium mandrel bent 2.5" - 3" pipe with an Apexi N1 rear muffler.

Transmission

Unfortunatly, if i want this project to be reliable, i'm going to ditch the standard S53 for an S54 out of an ST202 Celica.

Along with this, i will be installing an LSD. Luckily, LSD's for ZZT23X Celicas, MK3 MR2/S and some others fit the S5X trans with minor modification so have lots to choose from.

Chassis

To get the power down, i will be using adjustable coilovers with adjustable camber along with wider performance tires.

To get rid of the understeer, i will be installing a 3 points front strut brace, ST205 rear strut brace and rear anti roll bar.

Again, if my budget allows me, i will be going all out on bracing and installing underbody braces, trunk brace, rear 3 poin race, side tower braces, etc.

Brakes will be upgraded to standard GT4 brakes with TRD pads.

Exterior And Interior

For a start, i will be ditching the standard prefacelift bumper for a modified RC/CS bumper. Along with this, i will be adding 17" White TE37's or 17" ROH Furys in Shadow Chrome with wheel spacers back and front.

Thats mainly it for the exterior except for window tint, possible respray and maybe lightweight panels and carbon RC/CS hood.

Interior, well it it either be all custom wih red suede and black leather or have bride bucket seats. All this with a decent sound system will do and a leather MOMO steering wheel.

Other

To make the 4WS safe, i will be replacing the front speed sensor, rebuild the rear steering rack and replace all the bushings and joints.
