I'd just like to say,... Big up to Gaz for helping me with this project Thumbs Up!

Without him this would not have been possible. Our combined knowledge of Toyota's 3S-GTE engine must be now second to none, not only do we know the mechanics of the 165 185 205 but now also know the electronic behind it.

Its been a steep learning curve, with many evenings having to try really hard not to kick the crap out of the car but with a lot of patience and discussion testing and diagnosis. I've now got 1 of only 3 know rev 3 conversions on a 165 Cheers

He's given up evenings weekends to help me get this done, and had to put up with his partner giving him beep for coming home late and covered with old engine and trans oil Laughing

Once again Cheers Dude yoru a trooper Cheers

the rad was repaired mate,
the joys of an ally rad.

theres still a fair bit of tidying up to do in the engine bay, make a proper cold air intake, lag the fmic pipes, relocate the battery, fit the turbo jacket and heat shield make it look pretty

also need to source and fit a rev3 mr2 turbo ecu too cure the fault code 54 problem but bob needed it for wednesday so we had to make do,
