6G Celicas Forums

Thanks for everybodys help and input but after adding it all up have decided that the cost of doing this properly is prohibitive. I lived in Texas for 6 months awhile back and the cost of stuff over there compared to here is like chalk and cheese. Its also unlikely I could get it engineered legal, when I was young dumb and full of cum that didnt matter so much but nowadays its a bit different. Thanks again all when I get it finished will post some pics in the unmodified section-cheers

Are these what you had in mind. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mazda-1989-92-RX-7...054&vxp=mtr
Think I owe you and a few others a beer or 3 if I ever get back to the States again

Im just going with what is suggested, personally I thought 460 was a little to big for what I needed. This seems like a better deal cause I would have had to have the others serviced as well and here that costs about $30 per unit

Thanks I toyed with the idea of swapping out the ecu and loom completely to match the engine as a exercise in curiosity but maybe no. I have a line on some RX7 non turbo 460cc injectors high impedance at last bloody hard to find down here.

So basically its the 98 block with 95 head and (just guessing) you wire the crank angel sensor into the megasquirt?

Mate down at the wreckers has got a 5sfe out of a 98 Camry he'll sell to me for $220, the head is cactus but seeing as Im rebuilding its not going to cost me any more than if it was in good nick. Questions-can I drop the 98 eng. head and all straight in after rebuild and just change the ecu. I assume I have to to change the ecu cause of coil pack and crank sensor, il probably be running it unmodified for a while before I get Megasquirt and other stuff I need together.

Read through your entire post tonight-what a ride. Pretty much going to stick to the formula that has been tried and tested. Will get the Megasquirt and other parts you suggest. Sourcing the 460 injectors is proving troublesome, are there any others of a similar output that can be used? The only reason Im considering the T3/T4 is because they are easy to get. Besides the CT26 and CT20b are there any other turbos you recommend? I noticed the difference in strength of the 98 block and am considering just getting a clagged out engine out of a 98 model from the local wreckers and rebuilding that, then I have the stronger block and crank angle sensor all in one. I do alot of business with them and can probably get it for $400 or so. Also I noticed or didnt notice a catalytic convertor on your car, did you remove it? Thats something I have to have to fit in with emission laws in Australia. Really appreciate the work you put into your build and sharing the information, ta.

Tanks for the reply Syaoran. Ordered a oil pump 10 days ago from Taiwan and put it in car today. Then got home and looked at your post-no biggie got to take the whole thing out when I rebuild anyway. I looked at photos of the pump I got and pumps for camry with sensor and cant see any difference? How would I go about hooking it up? I think these are the injectors your talking about RX-7 NA 460cc - Red Top #195500-2010. Again not easy to find but I have time on my side. Im thinking of GREDDY E-MANAGE EMANAGE ULTIMATE CONTROL - 15500501. Any lines on a twin intake CT26 would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. Firstly I live in NSW and was off P-plates 30+ years ago. Im a mechanic but didnt start my apprenticeship till I was 32 so been qualified bout 14yrs. Picked up the celica dirt cheap at council auctions for abandoned vehicles, was going to fix and sell it but decided to build myself the toy I never had as a teenager instead. Im not looking to get it standing on its head just beef it up a bit, although ct26 might be a frag to small. Am going to rebuild engine, not going to use forged pistons or rods but if there are more suitable rod bolts, big end and main bearings, valve springs etc il put them in. As for tuning solution hopefully something in the $500 range will do, if anybody has any ideas id appreciate it. Been trying to source the rx7 blue top 440cc injectors cause they are ment to drop straight in but seem rare as hens teeth. How much for one of those T3s you have Smaay-changing oil filter looks like lots of fun lol. Thanks again, any advice from people who have been there done that is always appreciated.

Hi I have a st204 Celica with 5fse engine and am wanting o turbo it. I have read 1bwilson's and Shid's posts on turboing a 5sfe and list of components needed and this seems to be the best way to go. In my neck of the woods CT26 turbos are hard to come by, T3/T4 turbo is easier to sourc.e My question is what T3/T4 do I need and other than a CT26-T3/T4 adaptor is there anything else I need. I live in Australia so Mustangs and other American cars are not common here but plenty of Japanese sources. Thanks
