I like it, the guy is down to earth - doesn't know the wheel size of the turbo, but that doesn't seem to bother him! Also it sounds like the car isn't an optimal collection of parts but he admits that you just drive it accordingly, nice!
I wish this came as a kit the 3S-GE is so expensive to piece together I just decided to buy a BEAMS to swap into my RAV4. Now I have a spare 3s-ge though lol. If this came as a rebuild kit I guarantee there is a niche market for stages.
Thank you for making this video,. I would love to see a deeper-dive on the live axle negative camber. I am an ae86 owner with a live axle rear. Interested in the rear end set-up. Thank you for releasing ae86 content!
Avgas??? As in low lead airplane fuel??? Do yall have content talking about using avgas, how to not lead up your wideband, and just straight facts about avgas??? Ive heard good and bad things about using avgas in a non airplane piston motors and itd be nice to get some clarification from such experts like yourselves. A+ content as always
@@michaelgunning347 Well yes but you would think cooling would be significantly compromised, which is why I found the comment interesting considering cooling on an edurance engine is a major challenge.
Block would be considered less than Half full of concrete. Then a EWP we see 65 deg lower radiator and 88 deg upper… all day and I wouldn’t say our cooling package is “aero” it’s pretty simple
it's 5th gen tho. Stock block can break at 450 up depending if it is earlier model or later model. I've been told later model blocks are just a bit stronger.
@@DaMan8691 Yeah 98+ 5s block 95 bucks at pick a part lol. Possibly hard to find pistons to suit 5s block (87mm bore) and beams head but psi racing have them.
@@CRsGarage-nz The 3s block would crack after about 1.5 hours of run time, We retained the 3s block for oil squirters and less machining required so we could build new engines within a week of we needed to keep the car going during the season. We cut the 3s and 5s blocks open to measure the wall thickness. And made the decision to stay 3s and half fill the block. Has proven for our application to be the right call.
Really impressed they’re running the stock oil system with slicks and having no issues. Would love to know what weight and “height” they use with the oil system for my 3SGE build.
This is a really common practice for high horse power applications. You can either half-fill or full fill the block, usually the ladder if it's being used in drag races.
@@dan4age Right. All you would need to do is to grind the valve reliefs. Unless you’re trying to keep the BEAMS compression ratio but I wouldn’t do that with boost on av-gas. The different generation GTE engines will yield you a choice of, I think, three different compression ratios from 8.5:1 up to 9:1 IIRC
I doubt they are over-filling. Once the oil level is too high the crank splashes in it. This creates drag and (apparently) can whip the oil into something unpleasant.
overfilling leads to aeration of the oil wich is pretty bad as you can imagine. if you can monitor your oil level while the engine runs; you can fine tune your maximum oil level
Whats a 4H ? Isuzu ? I got the same HP out of the 4AG on pump gas ^ . ^ y Drag raced every weekend for 10 yrs . Car took off so hard the ass end would hop until it tracked up . You dont need all the things this guy did to achieve endurance build ...
There is a huge difference in setting up a car to drag race compared to sprint racing and then even a difference there from sprint to endurance. You certainly probably don't need to do everything done here but it also depends on class rules, what others are running and of course if you like being competitive or just circulating - Taz.

For a domestic build it yourself series, there are some switched on guys running well sorted machinery.
Live axle, Detroit locker, a gas, concrete filled and sleeved iron block
That's an unusual combo, and quite reliable as well.
Seems like they solved each problem as the problem came up and solved it with techniques that work 🤷🏼♂️
@@IcanDriveIt I wonder how much grout is in the block?
This guy is pretty rad 😂
98+ 5S block FTW.
Lot of unexpected solutions. Keeping it as simple and efficient as possible. Super cool build!
I miss these types of videos, hopefully you guys can start travelling again soon!
We'll get more like this later in the year all going to plan, if not sooner. There are some great ones lined up for the @racecrafthq channel too - Taz.
So mint getting a good in depth look and interview with all these grass roots and local cars!

Awesome Blenheim team so well sorted. Great interview Andre
great content as usual HPA! very interesting race car
yeah excellent interview man!
Such a nostalgic car and really nicely done .
Another amazing interview guys cheers
Very interesting build. Some unique pieces in there

Generally kits work out more expensive than piecing things together over time yourself. In my experience anyway 😅 - Taz.

Race products wheel ends 👍
Perkins's engineering channel cover it on one of there early v8 super cars.
loving it

One of the bigger Australien race series also uses Avgas i think, something about it being "cleaner"/more environmentally friendly.
@@p0intdk avgas is a leaded fuel
This guy filled an endurance engine with concrete? How does that effect cooling. I am disapointed Andre didn't follow up on that point.
I see a rad , so probably not full fill
@@michaelgunning347 Well yes but you would think cooling would be significantly compromised, which is why I found the comment interesting considering cooling on an edurance engine is a major challenge.
It would have grout on the bottom of the liners, most of the cooling is done on the top anyway.
@@flyingfox09 also depending on fuel , too

Great interview, but the 14 yr-old in me couldn't help cracking up every time the guy says "deck" 🤣 🤣
Think we can help them sort there block issues, no need to sleeve the block!
Interested to hear some solutions!!:)
@@ryanheagney1733 Entirely different block
wow a genuine ae86. nod glad it’s not an ae85
How are you breaking sleeved 4th gen 3S blocks? Especially half filled, these motors can handle 1200+ horsepower when sleeved and half filled.
It’s an endurance car. 1200hp won’t last 5 laps
it's 5th gen tho. Stock block can break at 450 up depending if it is earlier model or later model. I've been told later model blocks are just a bit stronger.
Yeah, really interesting that they didn't just move to a 5s block... this is new zealand, we have them everywhere
@@DaMan8691 Yeah 98+ 5s block 95 bucks at pick a part lol.

Probably helps that it has over 5 liters of oil capacity as stock.
I have a 1986 celica.Can i put a turbo on a 3sge or is tunnig and shims a problem?
With enough time and money you can turbocharge whatever you like 😎 - Taz.
wait, concrete filled block? I need more info on this
This is a really common practice for high horse power applications. You can either half-fill or full fill the block, usually the ladder if it's being used in drag races.
Google it
Toyota had been building “turbo pistons” for that engine since 1988.
I assume they meant aftermarket
They didn't release that engine until 1998 and it had different valves to the 3sgte using previous gen pistons probably wasn't compatible
Especially with dual variable can control

30 year old racecar with the beams
Someone please get me in contact with someone who can build my beams engine
soo they overfilled the engine with oil to the point the pickup cant run dry?
why isnt that being done on any car tbh.. or multiple pickups? anyone?
