Hello from England

Hi my name is Ray from England.
Apologies for I do not speak russian but I am after information about the Caldina's and this is the biggest forum I can find on the internet.
We do not have Caldina's in the UK so finding information is nearly impossible.
I am using google translate and I just about managed to sign up and navigate here.

My Questions:

I have a generation 3 3SGTE engine. But the problem is the weak block around the water channel near cyliner 1 which keeps cracking when highly modified.
I want to know from Caldina owners, if the engine block from ST215 and ST246 is any stronger and which is the strongest to modify for over 600hp?
Secondly, which caldina has the strongest gearbox and rear differentials?

I hope some one who undersands English can help me?

Many thanks

Ray

Есть мифы , что GEN4 двигатели из лучшего материала, так это сильнее, чем ранее rev3 . Однако мне любопытно , если Gen5 является немного лучше тогда GEN4 .
Я заинтересован только в блоке так как все остальное будет изменен

Не думаю, что если японцы сделали шатуны на 215 и 246 хуже, чем на 205, то при этом усилили блок.
И вообще, по поводу тюнинга и советов по нему советую обращаться на gt-four.ru, там очень грамотные парни. Надеюсь меня поймут
P.S. Привет Англии! :)

Pthelovod - Thanks for translating.
Lev_in - I very much doubt the gen 3 and gen 4 blocks are the same. There had been many comparisons in the GT4 forums and the most obvious differences is the wall thickness especially around the water pump.

One of the tuners here in the UK talked of the discoveries he found that the later rev3 was made of a different alloy which was more stronger but it is very rarely seen in the GT-Fours. But all the gen 4's in the ST215 was forged from the same harder compound and with the improved water channels making it less prone to crack like the gen 3.

Also see here for better pictures of the Caldina gen 4 compared to the gen 3.

Unfortunately we do not have the chance to explore the possabilities of the Gen 5 simply because we don't have access to this car.

Dёs - I dont think the rods where later designed to be weak intensionally. Just that the ST205 rods where over engineered and the Caldina's where not designed to be rally cars so they re-engineered it to perform smoothly and efficiently.

region19 - I would love to but I'm no auto trader. I love the Caldina's and I see them as the further sucessors of my Celica which is why I am looking to update my cellica with the modern updates of the Caldina. This is why I joined this forum. For information and hope to see what is compatible with my car.

ASS - I have no idea.
