QUOTE (3WayStunna @ Sep 23, 2012 - 11:45 AM)  Lol, does the car have a continually musty smell in it....If so, i know that one, hahahha It has an amazing back-story....On the other hand, there was another silver one, but never got the chance to meet the owner....Have you seen any other 205's on the island? I've only seen one other one. It was silver. And no... no musty smell. although alot of parts have been changed out/replaced by the previous owner, interior and engine. |

QUOTE (3WayStunna @ Sep 20, 2012 - 9:06 AM) QUOTE (bhsk8er @ Sep 15, 2012 - 11:11 AM) @neon- About the 3" exhaust I did read that it- is prone to boost creap, but the only exhausts i can find for the st205 on ebay are 3". And if i did that i'd have to change the exhaust manifold and down pipe from 2.25"/2.5" to 3". Or does the down pipe go from that to a 3" opening? @Bladey - i wanted OBD II for the real-time diagnostic capabilities. and what would i do if i took out the airbox and just got a filter? if not the stock BOV/dump valve is attached to the airbox, no? reason why im looking online at ebay is for shipping purposes. I have to ship APO. I might be able to have one of my local friends accept the packages. Just some advice for you. To ship something to you APO (in which case the company doing the shipping does not ship to APO) get an account at APOship.com OR have parents/friends relatives ship for you... Secondly, be careful with what engine management systems you put on your car. That island has no dyno and everyone pretty much butt tunes the cars there, plus there is no one with real experience using anything outside of an apexi unit. Thirdly. Too much good advice has already been given..I would heed their words if i were you. Otherwise, when i was there, there were only 3 american owned 205's including my own. Where did you pick yours up from...Dealership orrr??? I am buying mine from my flight chief. Where he got it, idk. I believe he said he got it from someone who worked for him. Its a grey one. so idk. |

Alright guys, This is my first celica and I am extremely new to turbos and such. But I have a few questions. If i want to get a bov, where would I put it? I've read that people have been putting the HKS SSQV's in the st205's. And also, Is there any way of converting this engine to OBD II? I have a few applications in mind. I also would like to know if converting my exhaust downpipe/exhaust to a 3" system would be bad. I've read mixed forums on all of these matters and would like clear and straight answers if possible. Thank you, and greets from Okinawa, Japan! |
