Now I'm getting excited!

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTT
TTEEEEEEE!!!!!







please?

I have not updated in awhile but I will be soon.

First I am sad I was not really around to take any pictures but if you want pics of anything let me know I can get them.

Second our plans were get this engine in during a few days so we can move on to other projects but sadly life happened, I know I don't have to share but I am not one not to share so my Grandfather has recently been really sick so Jim and I have been going there to visit him and stuff. We also lost a close family friend due to Brain Cancer so we had the wake(viewing) and the funeral to attend to. I am only sharing bc I was not neglecting this post just things have been going on that pushed all this stuff aside.

Now that hunting season started Jim couldn't miss opening weekend and the weekend after so pretty much my poor car is just waiting to be finished.

By the end of this week I should have a better happier update wish me luck.

Jim had to do some stuff to the emspowered turbo kit to make it fit nothing crazy but he will be sharing.

I know Jim has been in touch with Tweak and Art the past couple days so thank you guys with what ever info you are sharing or advice you are giving...you can never have to much advice in my eyes.

Anyway so I was just doing some past research on myself and thought I'd share my history with celica's

I owned a 5th gen stock gt..turboed that lost a motor upgraded to the 99 and then sold the car bc the auto trans kept going
bought a 6th gen with a 2nd gen 3sgte then traded that car with Joey for a 6th gen 5sfte with my old turbo kit and now I will be driving a 6th gen with a 3rd gen engine and a different turbo kit...I have almost tried it all lol. but Thanks to Manny I have stuck around so long without him I prob would have moved along awhile ago. (Note I did not do all the work on these cars I had a shop and Manny and now Jim ~I get asked this often)

Ok well the good stuff will come soon

Doing some finishing things tonight. Got my fingers crossed that it goes well !

Goodluck shannon!!!imsorry for your loss Hope the car purrs when its done,im sure it will

Thanks Cali means a lot.

oh yeah the car purrs...its purring real nice...got it started and it sounds oh so sweet.


I was thinking about not updating anymore because it seemed like there wasn't much interest in this swap so I figured I would just leave this thread be..but since I have so many people who actually seem to be interested and just talk to me outside the thread Ill keep updating at least until I get a video of the car and a dyno sheet.

And thank all of you who are keeping up with the swap thread and have been giving me props or compliments elsewhere!

Glad you finally got it running!

Tip #1.

Dont be so quick to doubt you own work. Double check that all connectors are SECURELY plugged in.

^ Shouldn't that be DO doubt your own work?

No, I was quick to think that the WIRING I did was the problems I was having. When it was just a lose fitting EA1 connector. I went threw my work about 20 times looking for error, and each time would come up with nothing.

I dont consider lose fitting connectors "new work" as much as I see it as things that should just be checked first when there is an electrical issue.

Okay, got you. I thought it was something you did yourself.

Anyway, pics or BS!

Good Job Jim, glad to see its up and running

meh, happens to all of us jim, no biggie, been there, done that exact thing..lol
glad to hear your back up and running shanners!

HAHAHAH, Maybe that is the trick to successful running swaps then....

Pics up soon everybody.

Thanks Manny...I have a few pics from my cell from the few times I made it to the shop ill take some with my camera later

turbo looks yummy!
