Caldina St246 Manual

Hi, maybe you have heard about the 3sgte gen 4th, an engine from the Toyota Caldina ST215. This swap has been done on some celicas since last 3 or 4 years. I buy this engine too but I discover after that there is not a lot of information about this engine. So I decided to make a big file that include pics of the engine, some differences between this engine and other generation of 3sgte. First of all, the 3sgte gen 4th come off a Toyota Caldina GT-T ST215 make in 1997 to 2002 in Japan. This car can has automatic or manual tranny (very rare). Here?s a pic of this car.

This engine is similar to other generations of 3sgte. Here are the main differences: -the turbo is a CT20b (as on ST205 3sgte) -the turbo and the exhaust manifold are casted togheter (its impossible to remove only the turbo) -this exhaust manifold will not fit any other 3sgte head because it doesnt use the same bolts pattern (7 bolts) -the turbo exhaust housing does?nt use the same bolt pattern (so the downpipe is different) -the intercooler is air to air -the injectors are 540cc/min -the ignition is different: no distributor. There is one coil/spark plug. This system is more known as COP ignition (coil-on-plug). The ECU control the ignition timing using two Variable Relocutor sensors. One is triggering a toothed wheel at the crankshaft pulley, the other is triggering a little arm at the end of the intake camshaft. -The intake manifold is side-feed manifold.

-The oil pump is different because it has to locate one VR sensor. -The head is slightly different because the exhaust ports are bigger (look at the drawing) -There?s no EGR or TVIS system because its a JDM engine. (more pollution but? Does?nt matter ) Here?s the specs of the ST215 engine and the one of the ST165, ST185 and ST205: YEAR COMP DISPL.
