6G Celicas Forums

Hey guys, I am having problem with my left and right turn signals. Both of them would freeze after 3 or more blinks and what could be triggering it to freeze. Sometimes it'll freeze and then blink again but hardly happens. Most likely it will just freeze. Any have that same problem before?

I was browsing through the forums but didn't find any topics about the E153, so I was just wondering what axles do we use for the 6th gen celica 3sgte swap with the E153 LSD transmission.

My car hibernates in the garage during winter. The turbo issue happened this past fall but never had the chance to fix it until this past weekend. If it was a GT4, it would probably see snow.

Finally install my new ct26 turbo and every thing WORKS!! Boost felt soo good!! The whole reason why my turbo wasn't able to boost over 0 psi was my broken fins.

i was just wondering if anyone have seen the z-glide side skirts in person and if it is identical to the oem side skirts. the oem side skirts are hard to find.

Found out why my car wasn't boosting. Finally had the chance to work on the car this weekend and found out that the fins on the exhaust side of the turbo were broken. Bought a new used ct26 turbo and will have it install within two weeks. I will let you all know the results.

My safc is still reading the knocks, does it still mean that my knock sensor is still working? I have no check engine light too. Could it be my MAF causing my boost not to peak over 0 psi?

Haven't had the time to check my car yet but I will check it this weekend.

I will look into it tomorrow and what the problem is. Thanks guys

Hey guys, I have an issue with my 2nd gen 3sgte motor. I purchased an exhaust manifold from ebay and put it on. I screwed all the nuts and bolts back on but i was missing a nut holding one of the six bolts holding the turbo exhaust housing to the downpipe. I figured that it'll be okay since it looks tight enough. I drove the car for about 4 blocks and i started to lose power, so I decided to go back home. When I got back to my garage, I started to hear knocking noises coming from my engine and it sounded like it was coming from the head. A few days later I went back to start it up, the noise was gone but still no power when accelerating and white smoke comes out from my exhaust when when accelerating. Car starts up perfect, car idles fine, don't hear any boost leak and no smoke coming out from exhaust during idle. Did a compression test and it came out 150 155 155 150, so I assume that head gasket is good. Checked sparks plug and they all look good, no oil. Wastegate acutuator arm is not loose and turbo spins freely with no shaft play. Took apart all IC pipings and reinstall about 4 times to make sure it is not loost or damage.

Here are some more problems I encountered:
1. When i'm in first gear, i floor the car, the boost gauge needle would jump to 0 psi and drops instantly. happens in all gears.
2. Took off the filter by the maf and when i rev, I feel/hear it sucking
3. Don't hear BOV ( vacuum leak?) I have a Greddy BOV
4. Before the car had this problem, during boost, the green LED knock lights would come on but now, it just stays red.

What could be the reason for my car not to boost? Before I installed the new exhaust manifold, car ran great at 14psi.

bronze rota boost! if I was you, i'll go with bronze and it matches white car better. I agree with trdproven...go with the one you won't get tired of. good luck on deciding

Yellow isn't my color for a celica but it actually looks unique. What size are those bbs lm wheels on the celica? and width?

njccmd2002, how does that husky spray gun from home depot work for you? did it give you a smooth finishing touch?


Badkarma, did you find the specs on the spray gun that sharpe makes? j/w

i can't return it, because i purchased this air compressor a year ago. i'll just go with a non hvlp gun or go with this NEIKO HVLP gun I found that produce low scfm.

operation pressure is 40psi : 4.5 cfm
comes with 1.5, 1.7, 2.0 tip

dang...wasted money on that piece of crap compressor then...anybody know of a nice spray gun that produce low scfm or have used one?

I'm planning on painting my celica and i was just wondering if this devilbliss HVLP spray gun will be compatible with my 33gal. craftsman air compressor.

here are the specs:

Spray gun: 30 PSI inlet pressure delivers 10 PSI air cap pressure at 13 CFM air volume.

Air Compressor: 1.6hp, 33 gal., 150max psi, SCFM Delivery At 40 psi: 6.3 SCFM, SCFM Delivery At 90 psi: 4.9 SCFM

I was just wondering if the gun will be able to spray a good amount of paint on the car with a good finishing touch. Will the tank be able to supply enough air for the paint job with no wait for charging?

thanks for the input....I wish these would fit on the celica. Sucks not to have 5x114.3. I'll find some different rims. Maybe some 17" racinghart c2 or enkei rpf1.

Sup guys

I have a my eyes set on these Rota Grid offroad wheels and I was just wondering if they'll fit on my 94 celica before I purchase these. The size of the wheel is 16x8 with an offset +10, lug patterns are 5x114.3 and tires will be Falken 205/50/16. I'm also planning on throwing some 25mm wheel adapters to convert it from 5x100 to 5x114.3. So, will the wheels be sticking out of the fenders and rubbing the fenders? and will it affect my handling? My car has a 1.5 drop already.
