Wow. That wiring is a mess. Why in the world did they hack up the fuse box wiring?

Oh don't you worry, the clocked turbo is coming. Not only that, wait until you see what we do with this intercooler piping

The piping looks great. Good luck with the harness, Though I doubt you'll need it.
Keep us updated! later |

hey guys, angrymike here. first time on this board.
i've been welding and building for about 5 years now. i'm having a great time working with tweak. i've built stuff for toyotas in the past, but i would say i'm a little bit of a noob when it comes to toyota specifics. i specialize in saturns, however i've been turboing all kinds for things for the last couple years. hopefully tweak will show me the ropes so we can offer more specific toyota toys. if you guys have any questions on welding, fabrication, turbos or fuel stuff i can probably lend a hand.

Welds look great. I welded for 3 years in college and I never got very good at tig because the place I worked for mainly speced mig welding. Just a thought: What makes Tig welding preferable in these applications?

A long trip with a few stops for cool down is the best way to break in a new motor.

Actually, I don't know if you know it or not, but you got really lucky. We are doing a lot of extra work on your car for free, especially AngryMike, because he wanted to do some cool stuff on a Celica and get his work out there a little bit. When you see the finished pics tomorrow you'll see what I mean -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
