Bolts up perfectly on an ST205 chassis, not sure why I didn't think it would.

I have both pipes but I was wondering if it bolted up to the pipe that goes over the subframe and under the engine? That was the pipe I had doubts about but I suppose the exhaust was made to bolt on to a stock car in the first place?

I just was wondering if anyone knew if the Blitz Nur-spec R exhaust for the st205 is a direct bolt-on for the st205 or do I need to replace my midpipe since it's not 80mm like the Blitz? I just want to know before I pull my stock exhaust since I only get one day off and I don't want to get caught out and have to reinstall my stock exhaust again.

Thanks in advance

It was actually yesterday, but I swapped the drivers axle, front superstrut assembly (driver side) and the power steering pump on my GT-Four. All that's left to do is replace my flex pipe and I'm ready to get her on the road finally!

Nice job! Once everything is buttoned up, it should be an awesome summer car that should surprise a few people hehe


Thanks. I'm in Hawaii though. And it's always summer here smile.gif, except for the rainy season


So jealous right now, I'm waiting on snow to melt still lol. I'd rather have rain than snow, although it has its moments of fun as well....

Finally got the GT-Four running with a replacement stock turbo and it pulls pretty hard! I never got to drive it with a functioning turbo since I bought it but I must say I'm not disappointed at all. Really enjoy it!

Ordered all the gaskets for the turbo oil/water lines and catalytic converter gasket so I can put my engine back together this week. Only thing left after that is the power steering line and it should finally be done biggrin.gif

Finally got a stock replacement ct20b for my GT-Four. Waiting on my factory wastegate assembly and waterlines from my stock turbo so I can bolt it all back together and maybe finally drive my car since I got it a while ago lol

I'm doing the same thing to the most recent body style celica. Then again, I'm going with a compact, powerful engine and swapping in a complete rear end so I don't have to work with geometry that wasn't meant to handle rwd in the first place.

Good luck with your project! Can't wait to see some photos!

the only thing i like about them is the sound, and they do have alot of aftermarket support for both boost and n/a which i like alot. if youve watched top gear they described that motor as gutless. but the whole idea of putting in a v6 from a 3200lb(may be more) car into a 2700lb celica AND rwd is just asking for attention imo.


Considering it will more than likely end up as a track car, which is what I really wanted out of the project, I don't see any attention as a problem. Not many insurance companies want to insure something like this and if they do it's going to have limited use anyways. Also the fact I don't treat the road as a race track helps with unwanted attention.


yes, about that whole road not being race track thing.... haha. im not sure about insurance up there, but if was my project, id let the insurance company know i had a 7th gen i wanted to insure and thats it.


Car is still on my policy, just off the road as fire/theft. I dont' even need to re-inspect the car, just have to get emissions test done when it's finished to get my plates. I'd rather just keep it as a track car anyways.

As for just insuring a 7th gen, last thing I want is to put all this effort into it and then something happens and they compensate me for a stock 7th gen. Forget that.

never would have thought someone was crazy enough to even have the idea of putting a vq35 in a celi, and a 7th gen... come on what were you smoking when you imagined this, let alone actually do it. definitely think you should keep posting on it. think the two go together quite nicely, but then again it is a french motor rolleyes.gif


Lol, I may have been high on paint fumes, but once I bought the motor and started cutting for the trans tunnel, I knew it had to be done lol.

I'll definitely keep everyone updated on here. Once I get back on it steadily, I'll start a thread in the projects section and let everyone know what's happening. Didn't think people would be that interested in it to be honest.

It may be a french motor, but it's a pretty good one tongue.gif

im sure you could just use the ST205 rear end and have a custom driveshaft fitted from the trans.


I was thinking to use the st205 rear, but this rear end is made for this motor/trans, had good aftermarket support and I was planning to swap 350z brembo calipers all around, so it makes for a bolt on, big brake solution.

Haha, I was going to say... If you do work at McDonalds and you have a 7th and a 6th gen, you're not doing too bad for yourself lol

No problem. Let me know how it goes. I haven't ordered anything from there but the prices look good so if it goes smoothly, I'll probably order parts from there as well.

I've done some searching and finding something around here is becoming a pain. I've sent my turbo out to AZ Turbo in Arizona to have them create a hybrid ct20b/ct26 setup with it. Will let everyone know how it goes.
