6G Celicas Forums

This is an hybrid based on a real Garrett GT2876R, and it has a quite different behaviour from the pure GT2876.


Malpaso, today I had the last test around home before the final mapping on the dyno, and with the latest map
I made on street, the peak boost is at 3800 rpm in 3rd gear, so probably I will gain other rpm when mapping to MBT on dyno in the next days.
As I told, that's so much better than a normal GT2876R I tested on a friend's ST205 that had peak boost at 4200 rpm.

Definitely WAAAAYYY better than GT28RS that, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, is quite a wrong turbo for a street 3SGTE, as it gives no more power than a CT20B.... but it is my first choice on my 3SGTE-RAV4!

Hi All,
these are simply the facts so anyone can judge by him self.

On October the 4th I asked by mail Top End Performance if the item was available.

SAME DAY they replied:
2011/10/4 topend <topend@earthlink.net>
"Yes..These are available. We can ship tomorrow.."

So the SAME DAY I paid for it.

October the 8th I asked if there was any track number,
and the 10th they replied: "2011/10/10 topend <topend@earthlink.net>
Has not shipped yet…Will be leaving tomrorow….Tracking will be emailed automatically… Steve"

Followed more mails from me, and the 24th I received:

"CV xxx xxx xxx US you can track this at www.usps.com
Ruben Frias
Top-End Performance
1-818-764-1901"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Item arrived too late for the November the 1st track meeting, as it arrived the 10th, so no more need of it.

Ah ok thanks Martin, now it's clear... worth driving there!

Mate,
i'm curious as I didn't think there was a Swiss side of the Stelvio!

Strada Statale 38, so the road that goes to and from the Pass, is all in Italy!

Or were you referring to Umbrail Pass?

Ouch... seems that it's some time I didn't return back...

Thanks tevo!

Even if now it has a totally different look, as I removed all the gauges...

Ok then, given that I found at least 4 people interested, price for one panel will be 280 euros.
Please let me know IN FEW DAYS if someone is interested, because it'll be a "now or never again" production

Hi Martin,
so you'd need its torrent and you didn't find any ?

Search for Italian movie "Velocita' massima"...
Even if you will likely understand nothing, as, i think, there is no English version, you will see a Gt-four making races and winning against Deltas and CSW...

Sorry no pics, as I'm still trying to understand if anyone would be interested.
Anyway it would be just a carbon panel, 5 mm thick, that you will install on the roof in place of the stock glass.

Yes, sure!

Hi All,
anyone with glass roof equipped T20 Celica that wants to substitute heavy stock glass (5.3 kgs) with 0.8 kgs carbon fiber panel ?

I'm asking because its stamp is quite expensive for just one piece (mine...), and so if anyone else is interested, price will be cheaper.

I know that shipping from Italy to USA would be a lot, but maybe at least 5/6 people are interested and so that won't be a problem...

Bye!

Quite easy... even if it's very time consuming...

an aluminum foil in which I put 1W and 1.5W, type SMD, 10mm diameter, 12v leds.

That's all!

10 days, 24 hour a day ?

No no, I mean 10 days, after finishing my job and returning home... probably 2/3 hours per day...

No, sorry... I just made pics of the finished job!







It costed me around 200$ for the leds, plus around 50$ for glues, wires, resistors, stain, aluminum plates etc etc.
It took me 10 days for the 2 rear lights...

Hello
I just saw that in rainy days some water comes inside the car below the front doors.
So i looked at them and I discovered the water enters because the external lower rubber window gasket leaves a little space between itself and the window.



Question:
is there a way to make the gasket push more against the window?
Thanks!

Thanks Mates!

The only one thing I think I have to solve is that parking lights (1W each) are too luminous...

Hi All,
as asked in another thread, here is a brief phone video of my "WJDML" rear lights:

Ok, let me finish the job!

I won't sell them... it would be WAY too expensive:
around 100 high power leds for the 2 lights, custom made aluminum led housing plate, and A LOT of time to open the JDM without broken the glass, modify the taillights housing, insert/glue/connect/weld the leds, close the JDM...

I will do them again only if someone will send me the JDMs already opened , and with some money $$$$$: it took 5 days to me for ONE light!

Because I didn't connect brake lights yet!
They are the 10 leds switched off under the parking lights...





I broke stock lamps to get the sockets I weld to the leds... very simple...

Received a mail from BC racing:
for them 4mm clearance is ok, so no problem...

I didn't like Tein SS, but this is for sure because my car is 85 kgs lighter in the front...
that's why I removed them and I went to install this BC, I still have to use...
Yes, full travel.

Italian mountain roads, where I use it, are turny and bumpy... we will see how they are...

Hi Ray,
I have Volk TE37 17" 8JJ et38... so you have 3mm more...

Hi Ray !!!

As I fitted them too, what about your rear BC - rear tyres clearance ?!?

I found mine to be VERY VERY small with 235/40-17, unfortunately...
