Nice update. The rear mount radiator will be tough to pull off for rally. Since you’ll still want access to your spare tire. Having the inlet on the roof may let a lot of water/snow/ mud into the car. Side inlet would probably be better for aero reasons. I’m interested to see what you come up with. Good luck!
Agreed with your points. I definitely need to incorporate a drain of some sort. There’s no straightforward solution as everything involves some form of compromise. After seeing the aero gains tops teams have realized, I want to take that seriously too.
What about your fresh/inlet air coming in thru the rear windshield-large diameter plastic ducting-suction fans pulling it thru the radiator-the exhaust air going out thru the back door windows. Exhaust pointing to the rear. The inlet can be mounted at the same angle as the rear windshield. Put a horizontal cover over the inlet so that it only sucks in dry (no rain water) air. A frame inside the inlet with a metal screen for support and run a high flowing, cleanable filter media to keep the radiator and fans clean. McMaster-Carr 21205K39. Screened hole in the bottom of the inlet duct so debris will fall out or can be cleaned out. The spare tire can be mounted vertically behind a seat. Gotta keep the exhaust large to keep the air flow up thru the system.
curious to see how you handle the hood, thats been a struggle with the tercel with the gigantic beams 3sge. V1 looked horrible because I was in a rush, probably going to make a fiberglass hood bump that rivets to the hood but that's easier said than done.
@@SamAlbertRally yeah im gonna do some ebay searching and see if anything exists that doesnt look horrible. orr wait for an old dodge shadow or DSM to show up in the junkyard for hood bump harvesting. anyway following your build closely, super excited to see someone not afraid to actually have fun with a rally car build!
What are you going to use for the ECU? Mod the original, or use like a Haltech DIY ECU? I've been wanting to do something with a F136 but not sure how to go about electronics
Sorry for the late reply. I’m using a Motec M142 to handle the direction injection and dual drive by wire. If you a single DBW and swap to port injection, pretty much any standalone that can do 8cyl and 4 cams will work.
Certainly not ideal, but we'll see what the scales say when everything is back together. I took some measures to help offset the weight gain (rear mount radiator, weight reduction on the motor itself), so hopefully it's not too much worse than it was before.
@@SamAlbertRally oh. Surprised that all works together. But you did what I dreamed of for a long time. That's an awesome build. Wish I could try it out. Lol
The way the tubes run make it a little impractical but it's a good idea. I've run some aluminum tube in the meantime but it takes up a lot of space. I think I'll end up running some -20 AN lines in the future.
Looking good! Can't wait to see what it looks like with the new hood!
Probably like a beluga, haha

For the hood you could make a cover that bolts to the engine then cut out the hood. Think Mopar shaker hood
Could even make it clear to let the red shine through. Hmmm.
@@SamAlbertRally that would be sick

At least the 3sge doesn’t look like it sticks out too far on the Tercel. Probably could find an off the shelf reverse cowl that would look good.

Good Work 👍
It's too bad you couldn't flip the intake manifold around 😔. Wonderful job on the swap
Have you read into the radiator / cooling rules for ARA?
Of course. Doesn’t mention anything for O4WD.
How does the engine attach to the transmission? How did you do that?
I go over a little it in Ep1, but it’s just an adapter plate.

Same thing for me ;)

What did you end up doing for an Ecu?
Motec M142
With it being a rally, does the motor cause for weight distribution. Issues?
Certainly not ideal, but we'll see what the scales say when everything is back together. I took some measures to help offset the weight gain (rear mount radiator, weight reduction on the motor itself), so hopefully it's not too much worse than it was before.
What transmission did you use and how you make it awd
Subaru six speed with an adapter plate and one off flywheel.

Plume the radiator through the roll cage, no?
