3T GTE Tech

[AE25]

I know I posted this before, but I'm urgently in need of the coolant bypass hose. They are discontinued from Toyota and I can't find them anywhere.
Does anyone have a used one in usable condition or know where to get a new one from?
Cheers,
Al

have you thought about adapting a 2tgeu outlet or modifying the 3tgte one so that the hose only requires one bend? the 3tgte version is different to clear the sensors. but if you have brazing skills, it shouldn't be hard to hack off the 90' bend (steel outlet) and weld a different piece in there.
Considering the age of those pipes, good luck finding one that hasn't already ballooned

anyone have a stocko oil cooler for the 3TGTE? mine has died

I Just noticed an oil cooler in the classifieds section $50 plus post

[steeko]

its all good, ended up getting a new one made.

[schnickles]

Speaking of oil coolers can anyone tell me if there is a thermostat in the factory cooler system?

Yep, the factory unit has a thermostat. Its inside the backing plate that sits behind the oil filter. From memory it opens when the oil temp gets above about 80C.

This is only on the later model 3T GTE's as the early ones didn't have oil cooled turbos.

Cool thanks for the reply Simon i was looking into running a rx7 cooler on mine but it also has a thermostat built into the end tank...

Radar,

Just go for wasted spark, use something like 2 x hyundai coil packs and mitisbishi j121 ignitors. Cheap easy and you have the CAS to fire it already.

Hey all

just a quick one about coild packs and igniters. I'm running adaptronic E420c with forged internals and a GT28r with about 18psi. I'm not to sure about ignition systems. Would what 3jcelica suggested work with my application?

Cheers

I believe that it will, except you will need to use 4 x hyundai dual output coil packs, not 2 as outlined by 3jcelica (remember yours has 8 spark plugs).

Diz44zy,

Works for mine, forged internals, 20psi gt28rs.

You will need 2 wasted spark packs and 4 ignitors (if you wish to run all plugs, many people don't with no adverse effects)

or 1 wasted spark pack and 2 ignitiors if runing 1 set of plugs

(the hydundai packs come with 2x dual post coils)

Some type of crank angle sensor (there are wheels which can bolt striaght on from www.diyautotune.com)

the mitsibishi ignitors j121 can be found on vr/vs magnas and TE V6 magnas, heaps of these at the yards

Roger,
I don't follow. Are you saying that you're running 8 plugs with only 2 coils?

When running the 3TGTE head on mine, we used 4 dual output coils and 2 x M&W dual ignitors.

[Diz44zy]

Thanks Jas

Phil mentioned he had called you a couple times already and that you have been a huge help. Thanks for that.

Cheers

[YelloRolla]

No worries Josh

[3jcelica]

Sorry should clarrify I run 4 x dual post coils and 4 single channel ignitors basically the same as yours.

When you get them of the hyundai they come joined i.e 1 coil pack = 2 x dual post coils
