6G Celicas Forums

Adjusted the screw and it was already all the way down and used some carb cleaner to clean the throttle body a little better and put it back together. Still idling somewhat higher but its not surging anymore. Two more videos here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f redtopidle 1 and 2. Gonna get some cleaner for the MAF as well this weekend.

well after all the problems 2bcelica went through, with his rough idle... you 100% sure about your timing???

100% sure on timing. I have learned my lesson long ago on that and that would cause a rough idle vs high idle in most instances and the engine would struggle to run because the knock sensor would detect ping and the ecu would be pulling spark and fuel. I am thinking dirt and a small vacuum leak. The Cam 2 is starting to come through as well and thats a real good injector cleaner.

Since the car is not tagged and has no insurance I really cannot run it much on the open road at mid thottle. So its really only seeing idle time and it could be the ecu just relearning after being reset.

So here is some pics from my removable thrust glasspack muffler. Some tracks require a muffler and others do not. I went with the glasspack because it fit up in the tunnel and cost 24 bones. I have lost several exhaust setup and even the fuel lines from a rough track or being pushed into the infield. Tomorrow I will weld the glasspack to the removable bracket. I moved the heat shield from the back to up front to shield the shifter cables because I have burned them up before being to close to the exhaust.

hmmm

about the TB

what cleaning have you done there? you used only compressed air in the passages? TPS sensor did you clean that? A/C idle up valve?

finally my custom exhaust header is ready








so if anyone need stock header or Y-pipe is for sale

ITB in progress

for sale more parts :

- stock red-top M/T ecu (aready have SA ecu )
- MAF
- stock intake - SOLD

Hmmm nice headers. How much do you want for the stock downpipe or bpipe or whatever its called, shipped to 92114?

Some pics of the Kirkosaur motor mounts. Front is a piece of cake to install the back was a pain in the a$$. Once the insert was installed in the rear it was the exact width of the mount bracket which made installing it a little tricky as there was no more wiggle room.

A few more things arrived.

NST 3sgte Crank Pulley - Its a 4 rib vbelt vs OEM 5 rib vbelt.


Roll Cage Arrived


Project #2 Arrived 95 Celica with blown 7AFE
Beams vs 4age 20v or blacktop??

damn, thats coming together nicely.

Turnip, where do you race?

good thread.

nice where did you get the other celi

Found it on craigslist. Wanted a parts car for doors, radiator, hood, front bumper, and the rear under carriage since my local junkyards dont have any 6gens. Now just kicking around making it a backup track car as well and just need to research the best animal to squeeze in it. Since it has a 7afe i believe the axles and spindles are different than the GT. Would love to put a beams in it but not opposed to putting a 4age 20v or blacktop in. Just need to find out whats all involved before I grab an engine and transmission.

I hope to have the black gt dyno'd in a week or two and then I will start the cage fabrication and dash gutting since I am basically done with the engine, drivetrain and exhaust. Still gonna work on the intake but I need to move the battery first which would be after i get the cage in. Plus I have to take out the glass which I hate because I always end shattering all through the car and garage. Probably do the dash gutting between now and thanksgiving and then get the glass out before I start the cage.

hey how does that glass pack sound on the car? i was thinking that or the fart can ha ha what ya think?

Its a little more muffled with it on and between 5-7k its sounds like super bike not to much different than how a Lotus sounds with the VonHep exhaust. I just wish this Beams went to 8650 before hitting the rev limiter like my Lotus did. With the muffler off its just crazy loud. Before starting this project I preferred to get the last gen celica to race because the GTS had the same engine as the lotus but a little different tune. Just too much money and I spent most of the summer looking for one that was crashed but had no luck finding one so I decided to go this route.

Pic of the Lotus.

OT: 2ZZ (duzzy) are great motors. I was able to extract 40 additional whp and incredible mid range from Power FC tuning , PPE header, etc. Best of all was the engine was left unopened. (2001 ZZT-231 GT-S)

I believe you will be satisfied with the BEAMS in the car.

Nice Lotus! Great in black, eh?

Yeh the 2zz is freaking awesome but being that they are a little pricey I will stick with the BEAMs for now. Hopefully this Celica body will hold up.

No worries; I'm sure you'll love the BEAMS setup in the GT.

Do most of the S54 transmissions have LSD? Or is it just hit and miss? Out of three motors I found locally, only 1 had confirmed LSD. The others "weren't sure". And there was no door tag to inspect.

I guess I could always just physically look. But, for motors out of state, that's a bit difficult.

Crank Pulley Installed with no AC or PS

What belt did you use?
