gotcha, but was it the mix of 105 octane "race fuel" that some stations have mixed with 93 or was it c16 or anything else? states vary their octane levels and gas types i noticed. was just curious

well, my car was boosting about 30 seconds or so before it died, so the turbo was intact at that point, then suddenly my car dies. so, either a strange coincidence that my turbo and engine blew up within seconds of each other, or one caused the other... there was metal shavings inside my engine and I can't find any other place that they could have come from. I did have a functioning EGR though, so I suppose it's possible it could've come through that.

it was sunoco 110.

didnt you damage the turbo when you disassembled/assembled it?

Nice Flawless Work. Pioneers FTW

wow thats really impressive. I think that the more "back half" turbo Shannon has over Manny's earlier spooling would be a little more beneficial. But looks like she's going after Itchy :eeps:

I think its awesome the 5sfte can do that! thats what happens when you have a proper sized turbo on there! not the pee shooter 26.

ya, dan....it definetly is much faster up top.
like i had said earlier in the thread, now what i really wanna see is how much spool can we gain by using a correctly sized compressor, instead of one of these mismatched ebay specials.

im thinking shannon and itchy should hit the closest track up and see whats up when youre done manny! that video will get thousands of views!

what? a stock gen2 celica vs super beast 5sfte! I wouldn't wanna be disgraced man! the engine is already out of the celica
I think Dustin Manny Shannon and Stef should have a 4 way race down an abandoned industrial park road and have loads of closed roads and tell pizza boys to find other ways home and such. we will film it and be millionaires. I keed I keed.

the mr2 on the other hand. 2 words. MORE BOOST! and more words, TRACTION! oh man i just wet myself.

Too bad Itchy's motor is already out of the Celica since last I saw Would have been a good race tho.

Edit - Doh! Beat me to it by seconds
[And Shannon can say "Dude I almost had you!" and Presure can say "You almost had me? You never had me - I'm the one who swapped your car!"
OMG - it never gets old ]

man i wish i lived over there ...there are no big power celica's over here

i wanna see how my 7agte holds up to the 5sfte super beasts of the east

no, the one that was on my car was never taken apart, at least not by me. the one that was damged was the garrett because the housing they sent me didn't fit over the compressor wheel, but that was taken care of, they replaced the compressor wheel and bored out the housing to fit the new wheel.

god I had such terrible luck with turbos

trust me, itchys car was MUCH faster.
the 45whp diffrence, and the way itchys turbo hits was astounding... the whole car vibrating and shaking from the side exit exhaust helped too!

but yea,john.. a stock 2nd gen...hell, even a modded 2nd gen, as long as it was still on the ct-26 dont stand much of a chance VS shannons car right now.

craziest of all is there is still alot of injector left too.
im pulling out ALOT of fuel to get the curve that smooth.

6strings, at least you got that all taken care of.

i know lol that's awesome when a 5sfte can totally whoop on a 3s!
Lol side exhaust, so not practical, neither are turbos out the hood, or that much power fwd. lessons learned.

I went to work and get home to all this wow I missed a lot... I dont even no what to say to be comparing me with such nice cars like itchys and mannys etc...thank you.. I cant wait to drive the car myself to see how fast it is but im thinking the tires are gonna spin a lot...If a video is made we will make sure it is all legal racing bc we don't wanna break the rules now would we

Manny we gotta make sure when Jim is done with his st205 swap that the 5sfte still beats him we cant have him owning a car thats faster then mine now can we jk

The thing I like tho is Jen and I have the to most bada$$ 5sfte celicas and were both women drivers and we get the men to do all the work.....hahahahahahaha jk I no Jen gets right in there to help and I try at least for a picture I really thank you Manny Its about time all this hard work is paying off with everything that I have been through to get a awesome car..I couldn't have done it without you as you can tell.

There are times when our rules really suck [Tho I completely support that one] - I wanna see that video.

this is an inspiration



remember to take a a pic of the grin on your face when you 1st drive it again lol

yea, shannon, i havent actually "launched" the car, to be honest, im a bit afraid...
untill jim really cranks up the boost on the 205, you'll be all over him. haha.
i cant wait to see your face when boost hits that first time, you better be holding that wheel for dear life!!!

I just wanted to say that in a few hours Im gonna get to see my car again I am so excited that I gave the thread a little bump...after ill drive it Ill post up how great it is...I cant wait for the drive home...I hope we gget a pic of the look on my face lol. 5sfte ftmfw
