hye again to all ravers, i completed the engine swap and the car run on the road already, but have some few problem on the way,
1. speedo meter doesn work
2. when driving 1st gear to 2nd and rest gear with boost, run perfectly no CEL but when 3rd gear running and start to pull( boost come in), 4th and 5th gear, the CEL come out,
other than that, the car run smoothly,rpm idle at 1000rpm,quite happy with it.
my car specs,
engine: power kevlar II timing belt, works adjustable pulley, tomei AFR, BLITZ blowoffvalve,2.5' intercooler piping include intake pipe, apexi air filter, works oil cooler, walbro 255lph fuel pump, custom fuel line to AFR, original celica gearbox cooler,
gearbox: celica st205 gearbox, shifter cable, shifter manual lever, 3sfe manual gas,brake and clutch pedal, ae92 clutch pump, toms lightweight flywheel, stock clutch for now, slave use the celica st205, rear differential still rav4 bcoz mounting position of the rav 4 and celica st205 are different, need make new bracket for it and mounting,the original long propeller shaft are rav4, forgot to mention, when convert to st205 gearbox, u need st205 mounting bracket at the st205 clip to put into rav4, the rest use back rav4 mounting,the driveshaft 1 side rav4 and otherside use mr2 driveshaft( best if can find new rav4 aca21 engine driveshaft and mod the outer shaft bit thats a perfect match, the mr2 is can use but need shorter 1/2 inch freeplay)
brake: front 4 pot, rear 1 pot rav4 ,front 4 pot need to mod the caliper hole little bit and the bracket at the knuckle( make thread for the screw to lock it), dot3 brake fluid, brake pump and booster st205,bodyvalve also from st205 bcoz original my rav4 have abs but st205 don have abs, wanted to use abs but ecu don have for abs, anyone mod before for the 3sgte no abs into rav4 with abs( wiring)??, and for front brake 4 pot, i use the 5 stud knuckle from st205( it was same size bearing with rav4),use 1 inch convert knuckle bolt from 100 to 114.3x 1.25.
wheel: work vs 18x 8.5jj
this conversion take a longer time due to many problems, as family problems, my friend mech( coz i don have the experience in welding and body parts for the gearbox mounting )and wiring i get a friend for it bcoz i also don have experience in wiring)
total time swap for me with problem i had. 9 month of swap until running and rego,
money spend i not sure but surely more than rm15000 ( in malaysia currency)
the picture i will upload later coz too many pictures, anything can ask in the swap as for now i need help in CEL issue, i have tricked the ecu the water coolant level sensor with tape the sensor level up high and issue with the coolant pump as i don use the coolant, i use FMIC, the coolant radiator broken and no place to mount it due to rav4 fit engine bay, my mech have trick somehow the ecu that there is coolant pump,...
main problem is anyway to trick the code 54 for coolant pump? and when driving on the road, 3rd gear to 5 gear boost come out CEL but 1st to 5th sometime come out CEL but sometimes doesn't come out, the code CEL haven check it yet but want to ask anyone had encounter this problem before?
