6G Celicas Forums

Outside Atlantic City NJ, looking to get 4K obo

I'm selling my completed BEAMS swap. The car has been sitting for a while but still runs. Brakes are rusted up so while it moves its not very smooth at the moment. There are some minor dents but no rust. The clear coat is peeling around the car. I had a lot of plans for this project but I just don't have the time, money, or room to store it anymore. I'd hate to see the engine end up in a scrap yard so I'm hoping to find someone who can finish up where I left off. I only have the two recent pictures for now but can take more if needed. If you're interested make an offer!

'94 Celica GT with BEAMS Redtop.

94 GT with a Beams Redtop for sale, car runs, and drives needs minor work.
Photos to be posted soon.

Been a long time so I figured I would leave an update, the bucking problem was related to the ECU, I managed to find the correct ECU and the engine has been doing great since. Money has been tight with trying to pay for school put I've managed to put some tires and a good portion of the much needed steering/suspension parts on it. Still need the following:

Struts/springs
Throttle thermostat
Lower engine mounts and rear bracket
To locate the power steering leak
and much more.

I'll attempt to get some pictures up tomorrow in the daylight.

You can use the 80 amp from a auto 5sfe you just have to drill out the threaded hole, i did that on mine and I've been running fine since september

Thanks a lot! appreciate the help

but there are no wires going to it, a coolant hose goes to the bottom and the top part plugs into the throttle

Anyone know what this is? It attaches to the bottom of the throttle body coolant runs to it but i don't think through it.

heres what i got

I'm not sure what I have, but it's not the right one, I forget the numbers on it, and most of it is scratched off but it's definitely not the right one, from the research I found the Celica and the MR2 ECUs are different but I don't know much truth there is to that.

JDM Depot gave me the wrong ECU, desperately need the right one!!

So here are a few pictures of whats been done so far,

Cylinder head:







and after a thorough cleaning in the parts cleaner:





And than I ground the valves:



Pistons and Crankshaft:

It all depends, I'm currently having a lot of problems with the Beams, I haven't had much time to diagnose them but it seems I might have the wrong ECU so until I find a proper one I don't think it will run right, so I can take the BEAMS back out and put the new 5s in and work on the BEAMS out side of the car and give it the attention it needs or if I could find another shell I would just put the 5s in that

After finishing my beams swap I decided it would be a waste to junk what could be a good engine, so I've decided to rebuild it. I plan on taking my time and making it worth it, but now i have decisions to make, and that's where I need your help. I stripped the cylinder head down and cleaned everything a thoroughly as possible, I reground the valves and seats, cleaned on the gasket surfaces and checked for any thing that may need to be replaced, and to my surprise every single part of that 17 year old cylinder is still within specifications and 100% reusable. But if anyone knows of good cams, valves, springs, lifters, ect. that I should invest in to make a better finished product, your opinion matters. also note i do plan on turbo charging it eventually as well. Any information or suggestions anyone wants to share will be appreciated and taken into consideration. Thank you!

there is no specific level, when you blow into the end of the sensor the voltage should jump from 0 to however hard you blow, mine didn't budge

Finally got a chance to start working on the celica again, I did some tests on the MAF sensor the resistance was fine but i fond no voltage when air was passing through it, so I'm thinking a bad sensor. I measured the intake tube it was almost exactly 3 inches, I also removed the drivers side steering knuckle and dropped it off at a shop to finally get the wheel bearing fixed. Another thing I want to check is the spark plug gaps, anybody know what they should be?

Sorry for the lack of updates, school and work have been rough this week, also i managed to develop an oil leak out of the valve cover gasket, so i'm stuck doing that this weekend, I'll get that measurement as soon as it stops raining.

The top of the intake is the stock rubber elbow, which than goes to a metal tube made for the 97 avalon so i can fit the sensor in it, and the filter came with the tube. Yes i reset the ECU and yes it cleared the o2 sensor. I'm not sure what rpm it is, but no matter what gear I'm in once i hit it the whole car shakes violently. It's like the engine is trying to jump out of the car, and stops accelerating all together. Thanks for the help so far I do appreciate it!

yep, that's the one i got, I'm going to try and get another, I'm thinking the one i got was bad.

The exhaust is finally on and sounds good, unfortunately it's still not running right, and the only thing i can think is the damn maf, is it possible i got a bad sensor? maybe it's the wrong one, i know toyota makes a few different ones with the same size plug. does anybody know the part number?

ordered the pipe today

so went to get the exhaust done and they said they couldn't fabricate a down pipe, so now I'm on the hunt, would the down pipe from the 1.8 work? I included a link to one of those ebay ones it looks the same, i inquired about measurements but got no response.

hopefully i'll be there with my freshly completed swap

I wish that was my problem, but i've got it facing the right way
