Beams 3SGE Swap 240sx 2019 - UPDATED / RECOVERED - David B
its March 2019 and forums still exist
** Redoing this original post - i used facebook links of the pictures and they died. im sorry I own 3 240's and this is my daily driver , ive daily driven well over half a million miles or more in S chassis's since i got my permit. No savior honda civic, or weekend meets lol, all of it. I have only had some form of a S chassis as means for primary transportation no matter what, thats what I do, ride or die mothaflocka. The other two S14's being 1j's the beams seemed like a great alternative choice, a couple months research and ordering parts the original swap was completed in 3 days 2 years ago and met my "experimental" budget at about 3000$, it probably costs a but more today or less depending on the market and options for swap parts . I like the iron block, timing belt, high compression dual vvti & 6 speed trans for the price. They are picky with fuel / intake / speed sensor and other quirky things although the Altezza link / ITbs or supercharger is a common options (auto motor is lower compression for turbo and boost ) Ka's are expensive now, I can't get over it. I hate looking at them and working on them, sure they spin the tires but really they are not a very fun motor to enjoy driving with, maybe I have just grown out of them. Sr20s are all crusty and expensive, etc, they can't handle accidents like overheating and also like the KA, timing chain which makes repair a pita, I hate removing front covers with a passion especially nissan stuff. I wanted AC and enough power to pass people on the highway. Then maintain good fuel mileage and have some good times on a back road or two headed out of state. Then drive to work every day all days of the year.. Thats what led me in this direction plus being a unique swap and documenting for the community is always a +1 similar to my original 1jz swapped S12 about a decade ago A/C works and power steering bolts up, the mounts are modified excessive mounts. The engine has a natural tilt i have removed so the shifter sits at a slight 5 degree angle. Barely noticeable, the shifter location fits well and the oil pan clears the stock swaybar. No subframe issues at all or hood issues. I did install a slim profile water neck on the back of the engine and cleaned up the bypass hose for optimal clearance to set the engine as far back as possible. Fuel is converted from single feed to the 240s return lines but flared to AN. Then aermotive 340 pump & Tomei regulator The most complex part of the swap is modifying the headers to clear the column but thays common on most swaps anyways. Wiring is not complicated and I use Torque pro to scan codes and view more data. Stock ecu The engine is so far back and the top end is incredible, it packs a nice healthy punch from 6 to 8k revs (vtak baby), it really shines on back roads and if your good with rev matching and cornering. Tons of extra control with the engine and the revs. The flywheel is an 11 lb toda flywheel , which is a dramatic loss over the original dual mass 32 lb'r. The intake is SO loud. The motor sounds awesome. Consider two resonators and a muffler to dampen the exhaust so you can hear that intake sing and keep the cops off your back Flip a Ka's power band upside down and throw 50 horsepower at it and this is generally where your at with the beams on stock form. Although my intentions are just to drive from A to B I wasn't necessarily trying to have a 3rd 1jz swap car and did not want an NA sr20 given the nicer quality of the Toyota unit which is superior in my own opinion Bottom line is this. Rather then complain or deal with stuff you don't like about the market these days, pave your own way and write down some notes for the next guy. If yall want these cars to stay around then finding lil 4 bangers that fit and run nice sometimes is better then a money pit that can't get you down the road 100k without just oil changes brakes and tires. Not all cars should be intended to be drift cars (coming from a well seasoned veteran) so consider restoring and dailying the car you like so you can enjoy it every day rather then keep it locked up in a garage to be sold because its so valuable. Some day there will be no more Ka's and Sr's that are affordable for the regular enthusiast. anyways heres a quick brush from what i can remember before i forget. sorry if its not as Buildish as it was before. now all my photos are on flickr i Paid 900$ for the beams swap - nobody wanted them early 2019 - i always be peepin them 4 cylinder JZ's hiding in the corner of the importer my whole car life, begging for a home https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a1875407_b.jpg 52993357_10157000446584556_7360219690615963648_o by david bellomo, on Flickr heres the excessive motor mounts, they did not fit , i had to modify the brackets and the mounts to actually even bolt the engine up. i provided information to xcessive and got a pat on the back. thanks guys https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8d62f8a1_b.jpg 46443416_10156767308719556_8208841057199194112_o by david bellomo, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...529c7385_b.jpg46458088_10156767308604556_8449863347561562112_o by david bellomo, on Flickr brackets slotted and dropped the drivers side down like an inch, the trans mount was a slotted 1jz trans bracket https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8a65b7c3_b.jpg 53050751_10157004602439556_31272442861191168_o by david bellomo, on Flickr ebay celica intake is a good start for the intake https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4c90b4f4_c.jpg 41033322_10156594654579556_497156955731656704_n by david bellomo, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...fd4913ca_b.jpg 40818570_10156594654484556_7280373443969679360_o by david bellomo, on Flickr various tid bits about parts - ur welcome battle garage is your friend , they are on ebay too if your missing a brain box, gs300 is the same.

It’ll probably be the very last part of your swap. All switched wires should be able to run off of your old coil power wire, but I’d recommend using a relay to avoid voltage drop https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8b78a2d3_z.jpg 49525724_10156876181684556_1057875179721457664_o by david bellomo, on Flickr Maf on the right. Injectors and coils on the left. Ontop of powering the ECU and throttle body that's what was left. The maf power plug also has a alternator plug not pictured. It's on the second row down and the second to last pin from left to right . Needs 12 volts as well. *still needs revision to see if the injector and coils need direct power. This worked for me but I read otherwise the ECU powers them i used a pickup 22r disk and have the part number (there are two part #'s but this one is IT, go to your local toyota and order. yay) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...dc11d257_b.jpg 45193706_10156725751629556_6147545896612528128_o by david bellomo, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4f1e62f5_b.jpg 45221568_10156725751309556_5004779421270278144_o by david bellomo, on Flickr wix single feed fuel setup - this got me rolling for a year - i switched it up but to stay timeline correct ill still advise this is the cheapest way to get running, the beams asks for 62 psi and this wa s58 - it worked. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...81b6301b_b.jpg 50234180_10156907854189556_2898316692381761536_o by david bellomo, on Flickr UM YEA, they make a radiator for a beams swap, well it is for a hachi roku but who cares, its got to fit https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...60fcbde0_b.jpg 40461148_10156579486484556_3389560311370481664_o by david bellomo, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b5e23a76_b.jpg 50775365_10156918795769556_8956741347587391488_o by david bellomo, on Flickr yes , just slot the mounts and then bore out the bushings with a drill bit, i bent the top mounts to secure it in place https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e5e3645f_b.jpg 53287700_10157011151259556_610949167891611648_o by david bellomo, on Flickr i used the mishimoto hachi fans and included a mishi fan controller that threads into the radiator https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...30b951a3_b.jpg 53701942_10157011151154556_4011723475663192064_o by david bellomo, on Flickr i had 3 days off at work and couple months research and parts ordering, this was the weekend where i tossed it all in and ended up making it happen despite discovering the engine mount issues which set me back a solid 6 hours BYE KA - NEVER AGAIN https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6b027def_b.jpg 53364393_10157004602759556_1316843917915717632_o by david bellomo, on Flickr yea thats a plastic roll cart https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...46c61d65_b.jpg 52977657_10157004602644556_3016517293334069248_o by david bellomo, on Flickr that moment when you know its gonna work ( i had already pre wired and ran the engine on the stand) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...11871c33_b.jpg 53501965_10157004601859556_4071379420353396736_o by david bellomo, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...75306ca0_b.jpg 53320720_10157004602074556_5695634041932349440_o by david bellomo, on Flickr w58 yoke should work on the J160 6 speed- shaftmasters online set me right https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f0d06e5d_b.jpg 53146083_10157011151429556_4117591348607975424_o by david bellomo, on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4b51933c_b.jpg 53150291_10157011151509556_2857591013617172480_o by david bellomo, on Flickr so i found this automatic beams altezza down pipe on europe ebay for 50$, shipping was 100$ but i really liked the dual pipes they were easy to weld and configure to get around the steering shaft. this seems to be a popular problem with the beams swap, ur gonna need a welder lol https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d015fb1a_b.jpg 53077634_10157004604259556_5398663527592361984_o by david bellomo, on Flickr Maybe i worked @ a muffler shop in my previous life?

Holy hell this is awesome. Running/driving vids PLEASE!! I wanna see a 9k pull.!!:2f2f:

I will get a video soon!! I just have been babying it since startup no major pulls but maybe once or thrice so far. Need to finish torque pro and checking a few other things out. It's got a pretty nasty idle when warm and sprung a coolant leak on the back of the head from install maybe. Work in progress but yes once its concluded and the new muffler is on I'll be posting some videos !! |

kidding. |
Loool.
Today I fixed the coolant leak. The stock muffler is so hideous it sounds like a Honda. Stay tuned for street pulls on my way to work sometime soon |
Do you have an Instagram?

Nice intake sound! Cool swap

Very, very interesting!
There are two BEANS powered S-chassis builds on Zilvia now! |
The startup video was hilarious. I couldn’t even tell it was on until you twisted the throttle body.

So I've been busy getting ready for US Drift with one of my 1jz cars. This is still my daily but work on it as sort of halted. I have probably put 3k miles on it so far who knows. I drive this almost every day. In the next 2 months or so I will get back on it and start putting some more parts on the car and start the body work once the comp is over.

Ok this build is going to be epic. When do you expect it to be fitted/on the road?

Any chance you could repost the pictures? I'd love to see the build
