Yeah, I don't get it either. Lagos, are you okay?

And by the way, wait until I get my ECU modified by APR and put up some dyno numbers for you

Eh, many different ways to skin a cat. I'll leave it at that. The CAI was a gift and I'm not ditching it Plus it looks nice, and we don't have flooding/standing water problems _at_all_ where I live.

My car (1.8T Jetta) uses a diverter valve, which just diverts (duh) the air back into the intake stream when I let off the throttle. The stock valve and setup doesn't make much noise but now I'm running a Forge 007P piston-type valve (opposed to the stock diaphragm-type) with an AEM CAI and its very very loud. I scare people on the side of the road when I drive by

The point: the whoosh isn't good or bad in itself-- just make sure you do what's right for your car. Some people with 1.8T's use BOV's and end up putting themselves into limp mode or making their cars run like crap since we use a MAF sensor.

Not my taste but that's a top-notch show car

The 5th gen ones don't come with end links. I don't know if the 6th gen ones are different. Do any of you guys know where to buy replacement bushings for these bars? Mine are pretty worn out in the rear and the bar has an uncommon measurement so I can't use whiteline polyurethane.

Sounds just like the valve I heard on a 350Z that comes with the GReddy twin turbo kit, whichever BOV that is.

That's a good point. I think you might want to look into that a bit farther. My 4AFE hg was flipped upside-down (thanks a ton to my dad who put the gasket on when I wasn't looking in the first place) and even though the holes matched up, they still didn't match up 100% perfect. This caused a massive oil leak and took a ton of work to fix with the motor in the car.

There is an Altezza front clip with a BEAMS 3SGE on Ebay right now, for what it's worth.

I never said it wouldn't I did say it looks like a p.o.s. though, as in not clean

Anyhow, back on track. Nice car dude.

I'm actually looking into a blacktop swap in my 93 ST right now with the 6spd transmission. That would be one awesome ride, especially with the throttle bodies run open-element with some nice velocity stacks. You can also use the Ford EDIS-4 from the 1.9L Tempo/Tracer coupled with Megasquirt and make some great power with it. If you wanna go NA, that's the best route. You will pay the price though.

If you decide to go silvertop, Jarco is getting an AE101 clip in this week and selling for $1650.

I love the first pic with the guy in the p.o.s. Probe.. "yo dawwwg that'z tizzite homie, fashizzle!" lol

Looks good. I usually don't like that kit of the fenders but those headlights and the TRD wing even it out. Awesome color, too! But come on man.. putting a system in makes it "done" ? 3S!

Hey nik, how close are the runners on that B-series manifold to matching up with a 7AFE/4AFE head? I'm doing a 4AFTE, currently planning on using a Jgstools manifold, but would love to have a manifold like that. I know the 4AFE and 7AFE exhaust ports are the same size & location, so could you possibly check it against a 7AFE head for me?

Click "Fensport Cars" and it's at the top. Pics and vid on that page.

Not to mention $95 back then is like $500 or more in today's money.

What wheels are those, by the way? They are beautiful. My gf's Eclipse would like those

Turbocharge it, a T25/28 or something small would be a nice addition

Everything playr mentioned looks good, but I suggest getting a wideband O2 setup. They're falling in price and will be WELL worth it for tuning. And on that subject, you should seriously look into a standalone EMS, especially if you do the head swap. You will have to do custom wiring for the EMS so the wiring issue won't be a problem

I eventually plan to build a very nice 7AGTE 20V turbo setup for an AE86.

I may be up around Tracy City, TN when you have this meet so once I know when it is, I'll plan on coming if possible.

Hmm, makes me want to do the 1.8L 20V turbo build in my 5th gen even more

****, if I was trying to sell something I would be super-courteous. Especially when it comes to an engine!

Some are seriously lacking in the people skills department.

XAT Racing is in Tampa and they do 3S swaps.

Or maybe you should talk to Jamasco, who built his engine. Mina didn't know what a freezeplug was until he lost half his coolant through one. Not to mention how many rebuilds he's gone through because of carelessness

I live in Tampa and the Celica crew down here actually had a meet there not too long ago. All their work is very impressive, especially that on the 240SX's they have in there

One of the guys that works there also has a 90 or 91 JDM GT-Four, which we saw there. Very cool.

I'd recommend them.. but why are you looking all the way in Florida?

Make sure you get a 93+ MR2 turbo transmission with LSD. This is CRUCIAL to put the power to the ground or you'll always have trouble with eating tires. You could always so it w/o LSD, via non-LSD MR2 transmission, or the stock Celica S53, but traction would never compare to that of an LSD tranny.

Build the motor, of course.

Finally, look at this Celicatech.com thread: http://www.celicatech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=508

Read up. They're engineering a flange to bolt on any Mitsubishi T-series turbo to a stock (or CT pattern flanged) manifold. It will be cost effective (read: cheap!) and will allow you to use any of these great, relatively cheap turbos on your 3S (think big 16G )

Just take an extra set of wheels with you when you go, that's all I have to say.
