Just added a new photo gallery of the Toyota 3SGTE Engine
Posted on February 25th, 2009 by Tim in VW Beetle Turbo Build
This is the initial alignment of the Toyota 3SGTE Motor. As you can see it sits in a wooden frame that wraps around the entire rear end. The engine should sit completely within the body lines of the VW Bug's body shell.

I have removed the VW Bugs passenger side frame plate to clean up and enlarge the 3SGTE motor mount hole. I marked the plate when it was on to get a more accurate cut.

VW Bug MR2 Cut out pass side 3SGTE motor mount hole #50

Before I can build the secondary VW Bug frame plates I must insure that the 3SGTE passenger side motor mount lines up. I am cutting out the hole in the initial frame plate with my plasma cutter for the mount.
