Sweet. Thanks alot, thats a great help.

Yeah Diesel, I know it sounds strange but it fine too use as long as its the same viscosity as what u use or is recommended.

Does anyone have any more info or pics??? Everything is pointing towards it being 190hp but when dyno'd it was about 200hp at the wheels so its deffently got more power.

Yeah you may find oil leaks or you burn it as it may go up past the rings into the combustion chamber. I personally would use engine flush as it can be very harsh (being a concentrate) and it can dislodge crap from the engine and it could get trapped in an oil gallery. Best thing to use IMO is diesel oil of the same grade. It has stronger detergents than petrol engine oil. It wont be harsh on ur engine and you just run it for a few thousand miles and change it and do it over again a few times until it come out pretty clean. It may take up to 6 months depending on car usage, then every say 20 000 give it a diesel flush to keep it all clean.

My friends Celica, (I think) 89 has a 3sgte from a 94 GT4 (which I'm 100% on). He says it the 180kw/240hp version, but was told buy a mechanic that its on the 140kw/190hp. Does anyone know what part of the engine number tells you anything or I'm assuming that if the 94 and 93 models have different pow ratings which number represents the year.
Thanks
