I will mate.

I can do it all in situ and it gives me an excuse to check everything, plus i'm going to change my apexi head gasket 1.1mm to the apexi 1.5mm. It will be a big job basically taking all the engine apart but i can get it done in a day or a weekend and i had already ordered oil and coolant as i had one or two tweeks to make. Either way mate it needs to be done and you have done me a favour, i'd get you some beer if you lived here its my first build anyway so it helps a lot in what to look out for if i do it again, needless to say i wont be missing that again

i've like done 4 build threads and no one has spotted this! Will get these turned round next oil change! Cheers for that

What do you mean?

Sorry wheels already been sold.

Well, to put it simply, she's cooking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the wheels bolted on and away i went, the exhaust esp when the screamer opens is extremely loud, been driving round base, already put anohter 30 miles on her ha. Seriously its so loud haha i love it can't stop grinning
Temps are in the 70's when moving, oil is just below 80 when up to temps, all is looking good on the temperature side of things.








Sorry the car is filthy

Right got some pictures of my oil return and some vids of the exhaust connected up.

This is the turbo oil return going into the block, used a turbo oil fitting flange, had to file the holes a bit to make it fit onto the studs.


Just a picture from under the turbo, you can see the turbo oil feed with the T piece adapter where the oil pressure sensor goes.


Now the exhaust fully connected only revving to 4k still

MOT day fast approaching

Oil return pipe, managed to get a male -10 turbo fitting on where the oil drains back in the pan, had to slightly file the holes to get on.

I'm sorry guys i just couldn't stop doing it ha

Right so hooked everything up tonight bar the exhaust. I didn't hook the oil temp up yet but the water temp, oil press and boost were hooked up, only the water temp worked might just shot these gauges as i'm sure i've connected it all right.

THought i had ****** up the bee*r up aswell as there was no red light or owt on start up so i thought **** great, then gave it some revs and it sprung to life. Seriously those videos don't do it justice the bangs were loud as ubik.

Anyway post multiple runs i checked for any leaks, one of the braided hoses on the return line is very slightly leaking, hardly anything is coming out but going to take it back and get it replaced its leaking where the braided line gets crimp to the fitting if you know what i mean.

Put the down pipe on but didn't bolt it up as i wanted to see what was happening staight out the turbo, curiousity. Just used it to channel the bangs ha

I have to say when i read the first post, what a load of crap. I don't particularly care where toyota is going, it would be great if the supra and celica came back out but is it really going to affect my life that much? I can't afford a nissan gtr for one, 90's jap cars are cars you pick up for a few thousand quid and end up spending a bit doing them up into whatever you want it to be, for me thats what its all about. This is not the main forum that i go on but the american guys on here convert to the 3sgte or 5sfte builds, its immense what people modify and that is half the joy.

Spending a few grand to make the celica into a flying machine is quite easy and not the hardest thing in the world, beats spending 50k on a new car which mostly all look the same these days.

the 2nd gen block is supposedly stronger, can't confirm that but its a common belief on the gt4 forum

Afternoon should be fine, if you are ok with a spanner and got plenty of them hanging around then you will be fine, always good to have a whole day free just in case you run into difficulties but i think i did mine in a few hours but i'm very familiar with the engine. Also i'm not sure on the 2nd gen but there is a phillips head screw in the pump that you need to take off, it can be a penis to get out as it rounds off half the time, just make sure you have a dumpy phillips screw driver.

Oh yeh forgot the crank pulley, this can be great fun, you will need a 19mm socket to get this lad off, try make it an impact socket as i've cracked two sockets trying to get the damn thing off. What i did was put the car in gear, put the brakes on using a bar to wedge the peddle and get a big wrench on it and loosen it off, don't do this when you have jacked it up whatever you do!

Another trick to getting this off i've heard about is get a wrench on the bolt and get some to turn her over while you hang on to the wrench.

I could never get it to retract with C/G clamp, the tensioner was always proper nails to get back in, probably wasn't using a big enough clamp.

Also having a cam pulley tool is quite handy.

Well from what i remember as i had to change mine after i rebuilt the engine cause it was leaking. Cam covers off, timing belt off, remove the alternator, remove the hyd tensioner, remove the pump. Then put the new pump on, make sure you get the OEM gasket which is metal well it is on the 3rd gen atleast, i put a load of gasket seal on the gasket to make sure it didn't leak, put the hyd tensioner on you will need a vice to make the plunger go back in and make sure you have a thin allen key to keep the piston retracted, put the belt on make sure you have put marks on the belt and pulleys to make sure they stay in the correct postion to keep the timing right. Once you are happy pull the allen key on the hyd tensioner which will tighten up the belt, be aware getting the belt on may be a pain in arse if it isn't you have probably done it wrong haha.

From there put the alternator and the other belt back on etc

I will be putting these rims on my car in 18x8:

I am currently trying to sell my bbs le mans 17" wheels and if you know anything about rims you'll know these cost **** loads to buy new. COuple of years ago i saw many places selling them for £4k, £2.5k these days though. Had loads of watchers on ebay but didn't get to the price i was happy with

Right been fixing my mates golf cause he crashed it but managed to get some free time to connect the power source to all the gauges, surprised myself as they all worked first time. Sensors need to be wired up but shouldn't be too much of a problem, Just left all the wires hanging for now, will smarten it all up after christmas. Downpipe is coming along ok, i was tweaking it the other day as i could have welded it up but it was making the exhaust front pipe get too close to things so just adjusting the angle on a piece of the pipe and should be good, been going well.

Would have done LOADS these last few days as i havent been going to work since theres bugger all to do but ive been fixing my mates golf that he crashed but i sent him to peterborough on his own this time so i could do my gauges.

just bought this sexual bit of kit

Getting my braided hose for my oil return line this week hopefully.

This is just some videos of her, she's running without the downpipe on so its coming straight out the turbo so sounds like a bit of a tractor. My car now revs so easily now its such a difference from stock

Is the c one mappable? Isnt it just like a blitz access?

Just wondering if anyone has an aftermarket ecu for sale, don't mind paying shipping to the uk. Was looking for an apexi power fc as dont want to spend too much but want to see whats out there.

Cheers
Mike

Right been a bit busy on my bike but because of the harrier getting binned i'm probably going to be moving bases in the next few months to start work on a new aircraft whatever that may be. ****ing useless government can't wait to get out of this country but it made me realise i need to get my bike and car totally finished.

Anyway had a bit of trouble with the relocation pipe, bit of chopping and rewelding, if the manifold to turbo adapter had the wastegate flange coming out the front it would be so much easier :S anyway i've made something way over engineered ha and i've had to route the screamer over the rad hose and down the other side of the engine.

This a road car? You had many diff's or anything break yet? I'm limiting mine to about 420bhp although the gt3071r could go to about 450/470, just want a bit of reliability but i may take it higher

You can get 850cc injectors from fensport in the UK.

What are after market part prices like in aus and nz mate? I'm thinking of moving over there after my career in the military is up as this country just seems to get ****ter and wouldn't mind something to work on if i go there.

Not yet mate, i'm still running her in, only done 50 miles in her and done one oil change. Still need to weld the downpipe in place, we have done the screamer and wastegate relocation pipe. Looking to get 450bhp but i'd be happy with over 420bhp

Got another little project now, going to start doing motocross and just got this



1992 Kawasaki kx 250 2 stroke

To be honest mate, a lot of my stuff mainly the stuff for the head camshafts, valves etc i got from the USA and saved myself some money in the process. Managed to get some eagle conrods from over there for 180 quid which is about 270/300 dollars? Bargain

Don't know if anyone has done this on here on the GT4 but i've just put an st202 throttle cable on mine, so much shorter and a perfect fit, no modding needed. I hate the gt4 throttle cable is so long and is always getting in the way with it being routed across the engine bay :S I'm still fiddling with my intercooler pipework, should be finished with it tomorrow.
