WTB- Toyota 3y-e engine/parts

looking for a 3y-e complete engine loom ecu but will consider just parts you may have

[3VILC]

Good luck..seem to be rare as hens teeth I've been looking for a while too for manifolds etc to retrofit to convert a 4Y to efi. Ive only once seen 3Y-E parts on trademe, $30 for everything except ecu..shame it was pickup only and miles away from me

[RustySurf]

yeah I got that stuff and had a friend pick it up for me

[3VILC]

Haha true, what a score. What was there? Looked like pretty much everything required bar ecu, loom, and fuel pump. What about running an aftermarket ecu thats what I was thinking of doing

[RustySurf]

Still haven't got it yet, was going to do similar but would add a sc14 to make it worthwile

[3VILC]

Ah ok yeh that'd make it an interesting project..don't know how well the engine would handle it but supposedly there are a few Y series turbos out there so could be doable. I was thinking about one of those megasquirt ecu's. If you are handy with electronics you can buy it as a kitset for like 3hundy. Are you working with a 3Y or 4Y ?

3y in my 2wd xtra cab
Should be fine since the compression ratio is so low and there pretty bulletproof.
Intercooling and a good tune are the key.
I was going to use a megasquirt but they need a bit of work to run nicely with the VR sensor output from the dizzy and can be full of little niggles.
Will run a Free EMS ecu once the kit comes out later in the year, its the brainchild of a local guy who built a megasquirt but was not happy with the problems encounterd.

Handy bit of info there thanks for that. Yeah pretty robust motors..just thirsty and gutless Have to keep an eye out for another manifold setup for myself now. FreeEMS definately looks like a good project, havent had a decent read yet but always interested in electronics projects..built a piggyback mixtrure controller for my skyline a few years back

what parts you after exactly?ecu.i pulled the 3ye out of my surf years ago but may still have ecu some where.loom sold for like 150 aswell so they've been rare for a while i think

[3VILC]

yup i think i've scrapped that idea just leave it carbed til it dies then chuck a different efi powerplant in there
