My Build Up Thread Stock SX to 400+hp GT-TWO MONSTER, Updated: 27/10/08: Full 205 brakes and BC Coilovers Options

[3s-gte_man]

Hey everyone....Hi doctor NEZ BANG....lol

Well since i have had my 6th gen in August last year after my $30,000 spent total 1988 celica GT-Two got totaled by a stray horse at 3.30am the Yellow st204 "Team Europe" edition Australian sold celica has been getting some goodies and i thought I would liek to share with all you guys and since i'm bored **** less on a sat night (no money (been getting ripped off by builders so no pay for 2 weeks)) i can't go to the casino tonight for my mates birthday...so what perfect time to write up this thread.....

Firstly if you guys haven't seen it already my old girl...the red 1988 SX (GT-S) GT-TWO....







then the horse hit it.....



Today i just pulled the engine out (been very busy and also very slack too and yeah.....it still on the tractor hanging off the front bucket well put it on the engine stand tomorrow and start pulling some stuff off and cleaning it up....

Now the celica as i brought it in August 2007.....





this is about 200 yards to the left of my house i get the same veiw of the city center of the GOLD COAST in Queensland, AUS (the place the champ car round is held in the streets)

Next pics from from a mountain about 40mins away from the ones before and is much closer to the coast and doesn't have other mountains in front....lol







Then i Got some ebay clear quater panel turns...they very nice...



Then my JDM tails



My wheel bearing then deiced to **** thy selves but i had 10,000km old one in the st162 wreak so we bolted the whole hub and that in...just swaped the wheel bearing bracket that bolts to the lower control arm...what else attached to my st162 hubs......the st205 4 piston calipers and machined down to 300mm rotors....awesome stuff...also the rims....



i also fitted the inch bolt on spacers i had on the back of the st162 tot eh st204 so the rear wheels are right nice with the arches and that...looks hot...

Then i fitted my stereo components from the st162 wreak and brought some new stuff as well... Alpine CDA 9855R and 4th gen 40gb ipod wired to to the Ainet connection of the Head Unit and wired up to charge the ipod when driving....



My Blaupunkt Veloctiy DVC 500w RMS sub in a small fiber glass box custom built by me moulded to the st204 trim.



I'll list the full stereo list later down the thread or that....

Next is the St205 GT-FOUR rear strut brace with the proper trim pieces....



Next is JDM metal "celica" door sills. They are HOT!!!!





Next i painted the rear st204 brakes to suit the red painted st205 ones i have on the front and also got ADR (Australian Design Rules) Approved braided brake lines (In Australia we have "design rules" for all car and safety type stuff so everyone is made to a standard and saves on law suits and all that crap if stuff goes wrong. also i'm still covered by insurance with them and not just some internet brought ones.







I just finished installing my JDM head lights (low beam projectors and clear lense high beam) and also DDM slim line ballast HID kits for both low and high beam in 6000K colour temp.....

Stocko lights on


The DDM HID lights and battery harnesses....

[CelicaZR]

Good work so far mate
Glad to see another Aussie modding a 6gen
Good luck with the conversion!

[3s-gte_man]

cheers mate....

This is the engine specs of the 3s-gte is waiting to be put in her....

- New oil pump with pressure uprated
- HKS 1.6mm metal head gasket
- Fidanza adjustable cam gears
- Gates racing uprated timing belt
- New water pump

Going to push the limits of the ct26 turbo see what you can get out of it....then a full custom steam pipe manifold and Turbonetics GKR-500 serise turbo or a T67-25g 10cm rear will be used with a turbosmart sleeper serise 50mm gate to atmo....and maybe a better ecu over the old microtech or a newer and more output/input one

[stetsonaw]

WOW!!! so how much did that engine cost you, if you don't mind me asking...

[Random_Stranger]

You make me hate my life. You are very fortunate and sorry to hear about the old celica, but wow! Some power!

[Cuts_the_Pilot]

hey nez, welcome to 6gc.

where do we find these metal scuff plates? im a little jelous haha.

i like it how you changed your distances in the first post from meter to yards for these american chaps

[3s-gte_man]

WOW!!! so how much did that engine cost you, if you don't mind me asking...

wellt eh bottom end was 5600 ish with the cam gears and all parts and everything i supplied the block (the ACL pistons are really custom sort of ones ACL use ROSS blank pistons and then machine them to your compression and all that stuff you/your engine builder wants.

the head was a used item about 5000km on her with all cams, up rated springs and valve 3 angle grind and that with the 550cc injectors for 1200 from another celica person on the aussie celica forum and gets his engine and that particular head built and machined from the same place the bottom end did.

the turbo was $1000 i gave them one stuffed group a st185 steel turbin wheel ct26 they gave one all rebuilt all new bearing and seals blanced, with a to4e 57trim compressor wheel and the turbin cliped (he said it was already a bit cliped) and i think he was right cause she is one laggy ct26 but flows some top end power...

that engine made 202hp @ the front wheels with some ingintion brake down i think (running a bit wried), 2in FMIC cooler piping, 8-9psi, and the only 3in bit of the zorst is the ebay dump (aussie copy) and 3in stright through muffler the rest of the system was 2-2.5in press bent ohhh the flex pipe was a 3in item.... and it was leaking a little bit of boost near the throttle body....so yeah i think on 10-12psi all that **** fix 250 would have be realistic and then would have taken her to 20psi only thing holding it back was the turbo....about 20-23psi the turbo guy siad she "should" be good for and still in the good compressor islands and the 550cc injecotrs they would be maxed out at 350ish hp....

well i'm half yank so yeah i feel there pain....lol

but yeah ebay is your friend there...toyota want about $550AUD for the 4 pieces needs....i got them at about the start of the year so if u find them now (JDM parts stores on ebay...look in ebay.com not ebay.com.au and most send to Australia cause they are in USD but based in japan/ HK so yeah should be a bit cheap now i got mine for 380ish AUD 2nd hand but in very good condition but from one little bit that is easy to ignore and not that bad.

She now has Full st205 Brakes front and rear now...the fronts were old and seen better days so i took them off re painted them gave them EBC Red Stuff Ceramic Pads and EBC slotted rotors......

Thanks to Arron (lubu for selling me his st205 rear brakes and everything needed...it is a bolt on conversion just needing to piss the dust shield off and the 5.5mm spacers and done...Enjoy the PICS



Giving them there last hint of hot 30 degree sun shine before they went on.



ST204 rear on the left and ST205 rear on the right... a big difference in size and they all machined and cleaned up.



The EBC slotted front rotors machined down to 300mm....and the ebc red stuff pad in my hand.



front all back together and bolted up.



the new rears are a get match to go with the st205 front and they all help in the braking too...





It had been a while since i gave the celica some TLC and so this morning gave her a wash, quick clay buff in areas needed, polish and wax and tyre shine....she is awesome now.

The Ceramic red stuff pads are awesome and just love the hard and fast braking....they do hate the soft traffic braking...they squeel something real bad. (aka cruising surfers and spit etc).

The rears have leveled out the car a bit when braking which is awesome and so they're doing their job helping out the fronts too.

This with ARD approved Road and Track braided brake lines this thing probably take on a evo or sti in braking....just awesome power and stops on a dime.

Just need the suspension and power to go with them. :lolhit:

Cheers people.

COILOVERS that is....



BC coilovers type BR or something like that. they are awesome and use steel lower bits so they stronger than the normal ali ones



The tops of them...front camber adjustable and the rear have a sloted upper bolt hole so they can adjust the camber of the rear too.



A rear one installed.



The end result much nicer looking closer to the ground.



Another Angle



The strut tops with camber adjustment with the perfect partner TRD strut brace.

Those projectors are amazing...
