24.01.2022 Up until now the only 3SGE BEAMS workshop manual available was a not only in a very low quality but was quite short and hence missing many pieces of technical information. Some time ago on our end an official full length hard copy manual was sourced and imported from Japan. This has been carefully scanned and edited to have a high quality. It covers the entire engine mechanical work / specifications across 61 pages. Although in Japanese its diagrams and specifications are ea...sy to follow and if required translation software can be used. As of now it is available free for everyone to download and share from our website via the link below. I figure this is well overdue and it should make it easier for those working on their engines. https://www.sq-engineering.com//wiring-diagrams-and-diagn/

24.01.2022 We have said before that our drop in 20V 4age Blacktop velocity stacks are one of the best bang for buck upgrades available when using the original air-box / plenum. We now have further proof as seen, this was done back to back going from the OEM fitted velocity stacks and then to our drop in option without a re-tune between them. . As the chart shows there were some nice gains across most of the rev range, particularly in the top end. These are quick and easy to install, bo...lt right into place with no custom modifications and are available for purchase here: . http://www.sq-engineering.com/velocity-stacks-20v-4age-blac . . Product development updates: Progress is ongoing with our 4A to J160-G adapter plates. We had a big delay due to the backlog of machining work however the two prototype adapters have now been outsourced to a different local workshop to speed things up. . On top of that although it wasn't originally planned it now looks like we will be doing an update to the original 4A to J160-S adapters and re-releasing them, likely at the same time. . So thanks for the patience of those who are waiting for these, hopefully we will have an update soon on them. See more

23.01.2022 Our J160 shifter relocation kits have now been made even better: An OEM replacement bushing for the gearstick bottom end pivot is now supplied with each kit ordered at no additional cost. Those who have who have purchased a kit previously don't miss out either. If a new order for any part(s) is being made from us then they just need to mention the previous relocation kit purchase in the comment section during the store checkout and a bushing will be added to the package for f...ree. These bushings are also available for purchase by them self: http://www.sq-engineering.com//j160-az6-gearbox-gear-stick

22.01.2022 After a long delay a large batch of 20V 4AGE Blacktop Oil pumps are finally back in stock. These are genuine pumps from Aisin who are the OEM supplier to Toyota. https://www.sq-engineering.com//20v-4age-blacktop-oil-pum/ For those wishing to rev over 9000RPM TODA oil pump upgrade gears are also currently in stock but currently are listed as a separate product. The gears will be installed and the oil pump pre-packed & tensioned for free when both are purchased together:... https://www.sq-engineering.com//16-20v-4age-toda-oil-pump/

20.01.2022 It's been a while since we announced any new article, let alone two at once. This should help those undertaking conversions. . - J160 conversion and modification guide: http://www.sq-engineering.com//j160-conversion-and-modific... . - 3SGE beams information and conversion guide, this still needs work however it should still be quite useful in the meantime: . http://www.sq-engineering.com//tech-articles/3sge-beams-co . If anyone spots an error or has something to add then feel free to let us know. . PARTS UPDATE: Both types of our 4age 16V quad throttle adapter manifold kits are due to be released this week, price has been confirmed at $380 AUD / $275 USD

20.01.2022 A project that has been worked on and off for quite some time are the 4age 16V quad throttle adapters. A batch with both manifolds to the Big and Smallport heads are currently being made up and are almost complete. . We don't have any photos or price yet but it can be said that they are unlike anything on the market. Some of the features are below. . - Machined out of a solid billet... - No steps, angular changes or any other rubbish transitions inside the ports - Pre-fitted throttle dowels - The runners curve upwards with a gentle radii - No mods required to suit a front wheel drive water outlet - Probably the only manifold to actually support the original head to intake flange locating dowels. . More updates soon. See more

19.01.2022 For those in the USA our J160 shifter relocation kits are now also available from the Battle Garage store: https://shop.battlegarage-rs.com//sq-engineering-j160-gear Just like when purchased directly from our store they come supplied with the upgraded replacement gearstick bottom end bush:... http://www.sq-engineering.com//j160-gearbox-shifter-reloca

17.01.2022 Pictured is the test fit of a J160 (1gfe) gearbox into an AE86 using our prototype 4A to J160 gearbox adapter plate and with one of our existing gear shifter relocation kits fitted. . The shifter is right where it should be and without a single modification to the car body! This is the final mounting position it will be held at with our gearbox mounting crossmembers that are in the works. . Progress is ongoing on the development of both the gearbox adapters kits and the matc...hing crossmembers to suit. . . In other product news there will soon be clutch friction disks for sale that are compatible with 212mm 4AGE flywheels and clutch pressure plates but have the spline to suit both the W5x and J160 gearboxes. This will make it easier for anyone who is undertaking a conversion. See more

14.01.2022 For those who would like to see how our J160 shifter relocation, Beams slimline rear housing, J160 sealing plate or the Beams ring gear locking tool fit into place then see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv-9zXOul9I Thanks to the chaps at Speed Academy for this one. Also there is an earlier video which covered the intake:... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na9U-WlWlX0

13.01.2022 Solving yet another complication of a J160 gearbox retro conversion is our mechanical speedo drive unit kits. These directly replace the original J160 electronic speed sensors to instead drive a mechanical speedo cable. . http://www.sq-engineering.com//j160-gearbox-mechanical-spe . Suits an OEM speedo cable as originally fitted to a W5x / T50 gearbox. Simply fit one of these, wind the cable in and it's all done.... . Price for each kit: $78 AUD / $59 USD See more

11.01.2022 Development Updates: 7A / 4AGE to J160-G 6-speed gearbox adapters. . Pictured is one of our new prototypes which has been under development for quite some time and suits the J160 - type-G gearboxes as originally fitted behind 1GFE engines. This will be used for testing and documentation before a batch is given the go ahead for production. . Our previous model adapter kits that suited the J160-S gearbox from the 3sge beams sold out a while ago but has not been forgotten either.... This too is planned to be given a re-release after a basic update to the design has been made. . A compatible AE86 to J160 gearbox crossmember may also be developed during the testing period and made available at a later date. See more

10.01.2022 Both of our 4AGE / 7A to J160 gearbox adapter kits are finally complete. All that's left to do before they are made available for purchase is putting together the product listings on the website. . The AE86 to J160 mounts have also been completed however the engine crossmember spacers are still at least a week away from completion. . These adapter kits will be released for $480 AUD each for either of the J160 variations (Beams or 1GFE). There will also be a +$60 AUD optional extra on the J160-G kit to relocate the clutch slave cylinder for additional exhaust clearance.

09.01.2022 We are now back open for business and have new products to release. . First up is our 16V 4age quad throttle manifolds, they were finished just a little too late to release before the break but are now ready to go. Both Big and Smallport versions are available and they're unlike anything else out there. We didn't like what was available on the market so we went through a long development process to come up with something that had no performance compromises but yet was still ...affordable. . Price: $380 AUD / 284 USD / 270 EUR http://www.sq-engineering.com//16v-4age-quad-throttle-itb- . Secondly by request is a re-release of a previously available product- our Universal Slimline Rear Water Housing which is also for the 4age 16V. It has received some small updates to it's design but otherwise it's the same simple and effective product. . Price: $80 AUD / 60 USD / 58 EUR http://www.sq-engineering.com//4age-16v-universal-slimline See more

08.01.2022 Parts Update: There is some more progress on both variants of the 4AGE to J160 gearbox adapters. The main adapter plate designs have been finalised, checked and sent off for production. The custom thrust bearing carriers and spigot extensions were sent to the machinist previously and are already underway. . While those parts are being made the other components will be organised such as the sandwich plates, fasteners and so on. . I wish to say thanks to those who have been pa...tiently waiting on these. There will be more updates on here as they unfold. . Pictured are both variants, on the top is to suit the J160 originally from behind a 1GFE engine and the other on the bottom is for the gearbox that would normally bolt to a Beams engine. . No solid date or price yet See more

08.01.2022 Parts updates: Both of the 4A to J160 adapter plates are just about done. From here before the kits are complete there are still some smaller jobs that need to be finished such as some brackets and rods that need to be made, fastener packs put together, web pages made / updated, parts electro-plated and a few other odd jobs. . Pictured is the prototype AE86 to J160 gearbox crossmember, this was tested, it's design updated and a batch ordered. Originally a brace was going to be welded in but they were more than strong enough without one. These are due to be ready at the same time as the gearbox adapters and will be quite cheap.

07.01.2022 For those interested in a J160 shifter relocation kit and wish to know what makes ours different then here are some of the advantages that it provides. . - From the housing to the top edge of the rear extension is only just off 8mm / 5/16". The vertical height here is critical as this is where it's most prone to hit the floor. It defeats a large part of it's purpose if a shifter kit still requires the floor to be modified or cut. . - Integral locating dowels stop any unwanted... movement and wear / loss of bolt tension over time. . - The pivot pins are made from hardened Cro-Mo steel that have been pressed in and given a safety bolt each. Guaranteed to never snap or wear. . For more information or purchase please see our website listing: . http://www.sq-engineering.com//j160-gearbox-shifter-reloca See more

06.01.2022 It's been quite some time since our last post on here and there have been various changes happen in that time. One of those is the website that has been updated to use completely new and improved software. As for parts updates after being out of stock for longer than they should of been the 4AGE Exhaust side alternator mounts have had they design updated and are now finally back: https://www.sq-engineering.com//7a-4age-exhaust-side-alte/... These have a 5mm step machined into the rear base to suit the OEM steel bracket on the rear wheel drive 4A engines (block to rubber mount). For others using a different arrangement a 5mm spacer is required which is available on request as an add on to the kit. 7A blocks don't have one of the block mounting points used by the tensioner arm base but if people want to make their own tensioner up we have the option of selling the main bracket by itself. Lastly we are interested in anyone willing to share their own photos of the kit installed. If I like what's given and would like to use it on the website then a reward option is potentially there.

06.01.2022 All of our new J160 gearbox adapter parts are finally ready to go and are available for purchase through the website.

01.01.2022 Progress has been good on our pending 4A to J160-G adapters. These are the 6-speed gearboxes as originally used behind 1G-FE engines. These should end up cheaper than the previous J160-S adapters which have been finished up for now. Two prototypes are currently being made and after the checks and some testing a batch should be given the go ahead to be made. The expected release date if all goes well is late February.
