3SGTE intake manifold mod

[tom's]

Found this pic in celica hyper rev.....quite useful.......they run a caldina ST215 3sgte intake manifold on ST205 3SGTE which is the same eng as MR2 245hp........the reason they used this is even air going in to each cyclinder....normally we experience piston blow from cyclinder 2 & 3

so i took the risk of buying the intake manifold to measure if it fit onto MR2/Celica 3SGTE eng without knowing if the intake will fit or not......brought back to my place today and took out original mr2/celica intake manifold gasket to measure

exact same fitting hole........so they money didn't go to waste.....hahaha.....next gonna measure the throttle body size......maybe need to mod a plate to mount the celica throttle.....

will update u guys....

how about the ST246??

What about ST246???

 

[khoo198]

What about ST246???

mean can st246 3sgte i.manifold fit into st205 or mr2 3sgte isn't??

 

[tom's]

st246 i.manifold throttle body location similar to mr2/celica.....

 

[iexit]

Sounds like a nice plan... i'm looking for a Greddy one for my RB :-)

 

[khoo198]

Similar tht means not confirm?? tom's...can u buy 1 n try the result for us??

 

[tom's]

why do u need st246 caldina i.manifold as the location of the throttle body same as mr2/celica..... if u want me to find out can......pass me RM1500 then i'll buy the caldina st246 i.manifold n try it out.....how deal khoo198??!??!?

 

[Joyride]

get me one if it not so expensive.

you prove it....i buy it...ngiahahh

very funny....dun ever look for me for any spare part.....ban u for real

Wah.....u look serious man.....joking only nia taikor...mayb wanto find some spare part frm u next time leyh..sparepart king.:wavey::wavey:

Hi all MR bros,
How about this Intake manifold??? A JUN replica......

 

[khoo198]

Wow..!!Bling-bling....:top:

 

[de blue's]

how much n where can buy pls...email me pls [email protected]

 

[Green06]

Hi deblue, too expensive...........USD950.00 for the intake hdr. May be grp buy can nego.......will try to nego.

 

[Green06]

Hi guys, still no good...........too expensive for a replica at USD900. Do not know the perf. and actual dyno figures............ impressive looking.

This intake replaces the T-VIS?

 

[Green06]

This JUN replica intake if made to spec should flow more air not replacing TVIS. You can gut the TVIS. I did mine and it just act as an adapter plate now without throttle plates which aids better air flow. If you take a careful look at the manifold, TVIS assembly and the head all are misaligned by a couple of mm. You can mark them and grind them to align up the holes, that would give much better flow as steps causes air turbulence and that disrupt the air flow. You want a smooth flow of air into the combustion chamber.

 

[EDDYSW20]

Smooth & unrestricted flow I agree, just wondering what would the ECU think? I've been considering removing those butterflies, but did you note any difference at low idle or low rpm?

 

[Green06]

Why don't you pull off the vacuum hose at the TVIS actuator and vacuum plug the hose. Drive around to see if you like it or not before you gut the TVIS. I believe your having the 225 engine?

mickey.....this is the manifold i'm talking about

 

[tom's]

fitted the manifold to mr2 245 engine and it seem to be able to pass the distributor n sit higher than the original manifold
