ITBs on a stock BEAMS is probably like putting an intake on a 5S. Sound mod.

actually no, you can push out 10 hp plus 10 hp from a standalone

ITBs also drastically change throttle response and characteristics

Very very very few engines without major modifications actually benefit from ITBs. I've personally seen a few VW and Honda frankenengines benefit from 42-50mm ITBs. (GSX-R, R1, etc)

Usually there's a lot lost in down-low torque. Throttle response IS improved, that is true.

Im trying to decide whether or not it would be more cool factor or if it would benefit more over a SARD intake.
And its hard to judge since I havent seen much(any) documentation on power outputs of them.
If they are feasible to do, and I have some money for them, I will probably do it.

I need to take a picture with the new harnesses, but this will do for now

Looks nice...much better than red

why not 5sge?

nowhere near the same power output and a bit more involved then dropping in a beams, and I am looking at the fastest way to get back on the track.

Very Nice. Will have to see it in person sometime.lol

itll be around for a while so you should have many opportunities haha



Took a whole bunch of new shots for the 6gc Feature...its been a while since Ive taken some shots, spent the whole weekend shooting and editing and now Im sick of taking pictures of this car.....for now

Stunning and congrats on the well deserved feature.

Agreed.

Ohhh... The master of photography is back!

Since I am not racing...might as well get back to shooting!

but as I said...I sick to death of taking pictures of this car, If I go up to CSP I will be lugging around my equipment, so maybe I can get some great shots of some other celicas.


Calendar is coming up soon too, I might take the reigns on that.

BUMP!!!

After seeing you commenting on another thread it reminded me about the planned BEAMS build.... any progress / refined plans?

Mostly everything has been sourced for the build except for the EMS which at the moment my best lead is Aaron at ATS racing. All he really needs to button up their PnP EMS for the Beams is a Base tune. All the other odds and ends that will inevitably arise during the swap I will tackle when I get there.

Other than that I just need to motor!

The car is going back to the garage in November, so sadly not much more time with the sturdy ol 5SFE.

Cool When you have a bit of time you should write it all up (unless you are waiting for a big reveal)

Are you going for a lightweight flywheel too? You didn't mention one a few pages ago when you said you were going BEAMS. And did you end up getting the cams you were talking about?

I am going to be doing a BEAMS build in January so I am watching closely, because you always seem to do stuff right!

how in depth I write up my progress depends on how frustrated I get when I am doing the work hahaha. And its inevitable some things are going to infuriate me along the way.

I am going to go with a lightweight FW. Thank you for reminding me too because I had planned on keeping my 5SFE clutch setup for the motor rather than going with a hybrid setup. I need to look at the differenced and pro/con's of the 5SFE and 3SGE flywheel. I found cams at an OK price, they are mild, comprable to the colt cams for the 5sfe.

I hope I get mine started by then! Ill keep an eye on your build!
