What conrod bearings did you use and what was the clearance? I am assembling a 3S beams block using ACL 4B8366H-STD bearings which gives conrod clearance of 0.0025", the STD spec is 0.0009 - 0.0022", is my clearance too large? When i measure the clearance using the original toyota bearings i get 0.0015".
@hawes_power559013 күн бұрын
I used factory 5S bearings, and my engine builder set the clearance to 0.0025" which he recommened for a race car (slightly looser than factory). I would consult with an engine builder but it sounds like your clearance is the same as mine and should work nicely

Do you do any injector cleaning? Might want to invest in an injector cleaning machine and clean every so often. E85 and old gas combo totally gunked up my Injector Dynamic 2000cc injectors and fuel system. I am going to do it as regular maintenance now. I had white yellow hardened gunk. Your dyno might have gained more HP if you did that. I'd even check your FPR diaphragm. I have a high boost 5th gen and its something you might want to look into. I found out by oil analysis and then it got progressively worse. As for the head damage maybe don't rev as high?
@hawes_power5590Ай бұрын
i wouldnt usually clean the injectors unless there was a problem. the fuel wasnt that old. the fuel we use is pretty much 95 octane with an additive to add octane. this additive is known to desolve after a few months, effectivly making it 95 octane (equivalent to 91 in the USA). what amkes you say the diapram. i log the fuel pressure and it was rock solid... I rev it less than the factory beams engine, i went over the reasons for failure in the video.
@clairebear5029Ай бұрын
My fuel pressure was good too. Now im overhauling my whole fuel setup due to a cracked FPR diaphragm (e85) residue on it and an injector that I suspect was dripping and got worse over time. Backwards benched cleaned and blew a piece of junk out which I suspect was from not running a 5 micron filter. Just saying if you race it and take it apart you should at least check your fuel system while its apart. I didn't know till I had Blackstone Labs told me in oil analysis.

I am currently running an unbuilt Manual Blacktop Beams in my MR2 (only full swap I'm aware of in an MR2). I will build it now that I am confident I got the swap in there correctly. I was considering using the 5S block for a big power build when I realized the blacktop block was made in the same generation as the coveted 98+ 5S block so casting material would be of similar quality. When i compared the two blocks side by side, I wasn't able to see why the 5S block would hold up any better than the Blacktop block. Having said that, I didn't do any sonic testing or any other in depth analysis comparing the two blocks. In my opinion sticking with the blacktop block may be a more straightforward build for anyone considering running the blacktop head. Either way I love the 5S + Blacktop combo idea and am very interested. Cudos for taking on this project and for sharing!

its holding up perfect so far. seeing as i mainly use it on gravel, it doesnt see the same loads as you would on tarmac. Yeah exactly as you say, they are certainly heavier and dont bolt strait in. If i end up having problems, then ill look into it
Sounds amazing! How is the handling balance with the H6? amazing job.
Love it, great work. Was noticing your arm setup too, I've been considering building a pair of tubular arms for my Celica. I hadn't really considered making a vertical to horizontal bolt pocket back where the single vertical bolt was stock. I was going to use a uniball. But after seeing your arm, I'm certainly rethinking it.
Was thinking of set of arms for mine, do they help ?
I wouldnt say they transform the car, but a little extra caster certainly helps turn in grip. plus being able to dial in camber where the factory has no adjustment is quite nice. many small upgrades add up to a nice handling rally car, the arms are just one part of the equation
@@hawes_power5590 what suspension are you running?
@@kadebugler9 it has MCA dampers
looks amazing, that there are people like you developing celica stuff. keep going love your chanel
thanks for your kind words. i often think that i should move on from a 35 year old chassis, but im rather stubborn haha
@@hawes_power5590 no the celica gt4 was an amazing winning machine, the head of Gazoo toyota wrc now is building these in a facility flat out and he rallys one all the time,they are queing upfor them in Finland.
very neat , how did you take measurements to get the drawing into fusion ?
old school techniques on this one. calipers, rulers, angle-ometers and reference planes. I have since brought a 3D scanner which would have helped nicely.
@@hawes_power5590 scanner is an absolute gamechanger
I’m blown away 🤩
I would be keen on a set for my St165 and for my st246... Can we buy the pre cut plates from you.... Or you should look at getting a short run of these made... This will save alot of Celica and Caldina owners lots of hassles👍👍👍... Probably most of GtFour owners club NZ will buy them... Probably a lot of overseas interest as well
They will be up for sale at some point, potentially as both a steel fabricated component but definitely as a billet alluminum item. I can almost guarantee that no one in NZ will buy one haha. i have sold many LSDs and control arms over the years they 100% all go overseas.
@@hawes_power5590 most kiwi guys don't have big budgets.... The steel ones are a good option I think
@@nigelsmith7366 indeed. unfortunately the fabricated knuckles wont pass certification here in NZ. and to be honest, they are probaly unnessasary for a street car
@@hawes_power5590 I have started to encounter that brake issue with my Caldina st246 and I could not figure out what the cause was
@@nigelsmith7366 on the street or on the track?
Super slick. I believe i burned up my stock wheel bearings in dirt in a very short period of time, i was just thinking about going down the Prius knuckle route so this is incredible timing.
yeah they are a pretty terrible bearing. they didnt last long for me either
@@hawes_power5590 Do you think part of it is environment as well? I haven't torn mine out yet, but i suspect dirt/grit might be in places it shouldn't be despite being a sealed unit, based on the sounds they are making.
@@ABeans07 id be surpised if crap managed to find its way into the bearing, they should be sealed up pretty well
How does shortening the steering arm effect the steering? Can you feel the difference on the wheel? Looks like a shorter arm with less leverage on the Prius. That's why i ask. nevermind!
it will quicken up the steering which is good, but make it heavier. It also adds some bump steer
Nice Work! Are you going to the rally in Whangarei? You have some fans that live here
Yes im planning to do that rally for the first time. It will be in my 86 as part of the NZ rally championship :)
@@hawes_power5590 I look forward to it! If you ever do an event in your GT4 in the North Island I would be keen to see that too!
@@blizardbear come say hi if you make it the event. Im not planning on taking the GT4 up in the foreseable future but would love to at some stage
@@hawes_power5590cool I am in Upper Kaipara area so will head out in my red st246
@@nigelsmith7366 I think I have seen your car around dargaville in the past
Did you check the drive shafts splines are deep enough to allow the Prius bearing face to meet the flat part of the joint. So 2 flat surface touch when torqued up On the st205 it’s hit and miss, some run a small spacer , I removed a small amount of the splined area inside the bearing.
for me, the flat surfaces mated up perfectly. i guess there is a few slightly different designs of CV. So you have changed your 205 to mcpherson??
@@hawes_power5590 Yea I only do UK circuit racing, I originally changed to McPherson in about 2015 using st202 parts. But used to eat through front left bearings in about 2 races. (Using 245/40/17 and a trd/kaaz front and centre plated lsd) I’m friends with Eric on Facebook who’s st165 did the orginal Prius conversion by TCS Soon after I copied it …the conversion on to the st205 is a lot easier as the lower ball joint on the prius is the same as the st202. For steering I’ve flipped the tapered cup in the hub and use ct200h tie rod ends I’ve made custom adjustable lower arms, but st202 arm could be used I’ve done a bumpsteer test and a few other checks, it could be slightly refined but has not failed in a few years and has taken some big curb hits. Trd/kaaz diff is a little damaged so need to repair it . Using oem front setup with a Phoenix power gearset. Yokohama a052 (245/40/17) next race Been thinking about a dog box, but have to use a manual gear change due to regs
@@hazeegt4 sounds like a pretty cool car! interesting that the 202 ball joint is the same as the prius. That trd/kaaz diff setup is certainly a unicorn. the SQS dogbox has worked great for me so far
Awesome runs! Would love to hear some outside car noises of this thing!
Thanks! There are a couple of short clips on my Ashley Forest video
Could you please show us the new oil drain from cylinder head
It didnt help at all unfornately
Hi. What kind pistons are you used?
custom Truam
@@hawes_power5590 Thank You. I’m looking to build 5s beams engine too, do you have a part number for this pistons by any chance?
@@nickg4174 contact Truam or PSI racing, they should have the job number saved
