6G Celicas Forums

Ok, Finally the doc is almost complete....its at around 90% Both myself and a friend who has a camry (same engine 5SFE) completed the swaps. There are
little differences in both cars but the document will cover both.

If interested I will post it soon and if you curious ...email me

I am going to agree with you one this one....theres alot of get this get that , but why. If and when I find someone Im going to pick his brain til I am satisfied. and when I complete my swap I PROMIST to everyone here I will post it on my website toyspeed.com (not finished) It will have completed instruction on the tranny swap soon and turbo kit install from burien and engine swap with pictures ....... but I need help to get started


anyone want to help?
good luck

I have the Burien setup, and Im very happy of the performance. With an extra few mods you can run 10lbs of boost sustained. This my daily driver and I depend on it.

The only drawback is that if you have a AT you might want to start looking for a MT soon. The torque will make the AT slip after a few months. I have complete instructions on how to do this cuase I swapped the trannys not to long ago.

But like everyone here says 3sgte is the way to go. I just picked one up for 400 bucks at local junk yard. and I will be swapping soon.

good luck

We are almost one month down and back up to 14 people needed. Very dissapointed We should have seen at least 5 payments made.

If I dont see any results in the next month ahead< i have no choice to cancel, the group buy.

I will call them tomorrow and I'll find out.....
And the address is located on the very first post of this article

GOOD NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!

REFUNDS WILL BE APPLICABLE IF THE 14 DOWN-PAYMENTS ARE NOT MET.

YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANYTHINGI spoke with Andy and he will provide refunds if all 14 people are not met, but he gave us a time limit of 90 days (3 months) or he will cancel the account and refund everyone that invested.

This SHOULD relieve alot of poeples worries especially mine.!!!

Also, its now 13, one guy walked in to VIS and mentioned this forum and put down the cash, because REFUNDS APPLY if not met

Did I mentioned refunds apply!!


13 MORE TO GO!!!!

Sounds like theres several of you guys out there...I get the document rolling.

I know that was my main concern too, but it looks like alot of you are interested, let me call Andy Monday morning and see if I can convinced them to drop the commitment thing..... doesnt hurt to ask.

I see the reason on doing it that way, because there will be people that pay and ask for refund, and then pay and ask for refund.....etc.

Yes, its a lot of money, but I took the risk, hoping there are at least 14 others out of the 10,000's celica owners.

Look at it this way, all that responded to the topic are interested, 5-6 sounded very interested and if thiose 5-6 paid already ...we would only need 9 - 8 left.....not only that with the other 130+ that viewed on the topic and sees that 5-6 already paid that would get better chances on getting the additional people we need and enjoy our hoods even faster.

That reminds me, for those who paid already please post here to show that you have done so. I will Call Andy every Friday to get an update count and will post here to keep everyone informed.

The time was 14.335 at 95.3mph and the 0-60mph was done in 7.06sec. The 0-60ft was done in 2.43sec

Hey guys/gals
Next week I am changing out tranny's, from an auto to a 5 speed. How many of you are interested in instructions on how to do it????

Im just waiting on my Duel force clutch to come so I can start. But if there are many like me out that want to swap, let me now so I can take my time and write up the documentaion and take pictures for step by step instructions.

let me know by the end of Friday at ljmolina@hotmail.com
or just post here.

then I will post it on the performance How-to article page.

Hey Pinky,

Visit your local dealership and they can read some number off your drivers side door. there is a code they can write down and look it up...should only take 5 minutes to figure out exactly what your color is and you can save that code and give it to your paint and body shop to match the color if you ever need it it get it painted.

I just posted a picture to show an example what the hood looks like.

Hey Guys/Gals
For the last year or two, I have been waiting patiently for the Invader Style hood to come out for our cars. No more waiting!!!!

I have called VIS Racing Sports a very well know brand name, and spoke to an associate named Andy, who has been very informative about us getting what we want.

VIS is willing to manufacture the Invader Style hood but we need is 14 additional people (thats it) to come up with $450 + shipping (Andy said of an average of $110-$140 shipping charge) to start producing the hood.
I have already opened an account with VIS for the hood,

The account name is "Group Buy Celica CF Invader Hood 94-99"

REFUNDS ARE APPLICABLE IF THE GROUP BUY DOES NOT MEET THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN (90) DAYS .

VIS indicated to make payments with money orders only, and must be committed, there will be refunds if all 14 people are not met.

So here are the instructions
1. Call VIS at 1.626.573.8383 and ask for Andy

2. Tell Andy you want to participate in the "Group Buy Celica CF Invader Hood 94-99" and ask for shipping Charge and Total amount ( should be between $560 - $600 including shipping) depending where you live.

3. Mail in the Money Order to
VIS Racing Sports
400 East Garvey Avenue
Monterey Park, CA 91755

and include
"Group Buy Celica CF Invader Hood 94-99"
ATT: Andy
Name
Address
Phone Number


Please email me at ljmolina@hotmail.com for those who are interested and/or post here so everyone would know how many we need left to produce this hood.

Thanks Again everyone.

Here is a picture of an example what it looks like

Hey guys, I have pulled 14.33 on the 1/4 mile and I have the convertable with the turbo kit and with a slipping automatic tranny. Im hoping next weekIm swapping my tranny to a standard with a duel force clutch and hoping to get at least high 12's , but Im also doing port and polish etc.etc.etc.

hey guys/gals I have a 96 celica GT and I have been using the burien turbo kit for about 6-7 months now at 10lbs non-stop. Its been a great product. Only one drawback I have an auto tranny that its showing its abuse with only 82,000 miles.

I will be swapping trannys here next week and converting it to a standard tranny if any of you have any insight problems let me know so I can plan for these upcoming issuses. Thanks.

I have been running the Turbo kit for about a 6months now at 10lbs with no problem to the engine at all!!

the transmission inthe other hand is now slipping due to the extra power. Next week Im converting from an auto to a standard tranny.

If any of you have already done this please email me with some insight.
The only issue I have is re-wiring the neutral safty switch, the cruise control
and the clutch start.

If any of you need a wiring diagram from th 96 celica email me.

I have alot more pics, I wish I can add more but the upload max was just 4 pics. I will delete one, and upload with teh top down

Thanks guys, Its been a tossup for myself on dropping the stickers too. The crowd has spoken.

This celica came with black reflective insignias. the badges are infact the insignias themselves....
Kept it comming guys ...so far so good!

I mean that what you see were the badging was, is infact the original insignias.

The badging are still there because this Celica came with black reflective insignias, I had a hard time
finding the same ones, because at the toyota dealership kept ordering the wrong ones.

Yea, I found some euro markers on Ebay im bidding on right now.

Hello all, I just got my car back from the body shop, and thought you guys/gals might to check it out post feedback suggestions, etc .... Please let me know what you guys think

I have the turbo installed. One thing HELLLLLL YEAAAA!!!
This turbo brought a new life to the car.....its now really the sports car it was menat to be.
Im currentlly running 10lbs off the stock engine

All, I have a LE 1996 25th Annv. Convertable Celica.......I was woundering if anyone out there knows how
many Toyota made. On my rear view mirror there is a plaque with the 25th Annv logo and
numbered as #106, but I like to know of how many?

Anyone have any Ideas?
