You'll love the gen3 once it is all 100%... its a great motor. Starts up right, idles right, good power band, no odd AFM issues.
And you'll really love 17psi.

Took her around the block and worked great so far. Lots of stuff to work out but all in all it's finally a bit of success. Sounds really nice and quiet but a rumble. Alternator bearings are going out fast, there is a whine, not sure if the bov is working i think i have to take it out and check it's operation. Gauge needles are all off because i more or less guessed where they needed to be. Tach is screwy and needs to be wound once more. Timing needs set, tps needs adjusted. Idle was a little high, brakes are mushy because the rust is being knocked off and needs another bleeding. Cooling system needs a good bleed, code 54 and 22 are on now, clutch felt really tight amd spot on weight, pws worked flawlessly. After 45 run time i saw no leaks and it didnt over heat. I never heard the rad fan turn on but then again maybe it never was hot enough (three row rad may help and 70/30 mix and higher psi cap)
I will be using a relay and connecting the NE ground for a switch for the power on the wta pump so it only comes on during running conditions instead of key on.
I have a bigger coil coming in next week and 7mm wires hooked up already plus my colder iridium plugs so ill be trying out 12btdc for timing. A/c will be dealt with next week, body kit development is on hold until its ready for daily use.
Really happy with progress today, a four dollar 95 celica st fuel line fixed everything.. Lmfao.
I have an old boost gauge ill hook up for temp use just until i get a truboost controller.
Ill let the stock system handle everything for now until its 100% then ill start in on performance. Man..
Thanks to this community i have my dream car amd drivetrain.
Thanks everyone!
Many updates to come
Even a normal temp thermostat and a single fan should not make it piss out the overflow. Either you have a bad thermostat or a leaking radiator cap... How was the temp on the gauge?soarer.jzz30":pp38ltrc said:Yeah, on the way home she ran fine until that last mile mark and sitting at lights... Keeps pissing out of the overflow. Ill be looking into a low temp thermostat to run at 71c, hopefully ko racing has one for the 205, plus a low temp fan switch. Even though my huge aluminum radiator makes it so i only have room for a single slim fan that comes close to the compressor.
