1996 Celica GT: The Roadtripper, 1MZ swap: 90% there Options

[bnr32celica]

I'll just skip to the good stuff here as no one likes a long story.

Bought car, lowered, blew head gasket, fixed. Put in some 5GC cams and a header at the same damn time. Drove, let friend drive for a while, got back. Head asked blew again, did again. Motor started knocking, and here we are.

The go:
--1MZ swap in the bay, awaiting wiring
--S54 with welded diff

The stop:
--5x114 swap in progress (I still need wheels)
--V6 Camry brakes

The dance:
--Tein Stechs
--GR2s
--Rebuilt rear end
--GT4 rear tower bar

The show:
--2post
--OEM 15s painted black (for now)

The beats:
--Sony Bt2900
--Alpine Speakers

The glasses:
--HID lows
--Yellow highs

So, the 4runner flywheel definitely works if you do some machine work. When machined to spec, the ring gear is in the same position as a car 236mm flywheel. My total investment was $140 with a resurface. Even thoughit was brand new, I had some room to work with, sothey shaved it down a bit.

Machine spec:

Mating surface-ring gear depth: .030"
Additional protrusion of contact surface over 3S flywheel: .070"

Get the 4runner flywheel there and you're guns and butter. You can even use the 3S/1MZ flywheel bolts. I did, and I was able to properly torque them to the 4runner spec of 61 lb/ft plus a 90. I used the 4runner spec as I am using a heavier 4runner flywheel and it couldn't hurt.

The 3S pressure plate also fits it perfectly with no issues at all. I don't know how much metal they took off, but it was significant enough to feel lighter.

Now, why stick with a flywheel that's heavier and not a direct fit? Drivability. A heavier flywheel improves engine braking, promotes economy, and is easier to drive. I'm not trying to win races, but if it happens, cool.

I also know 99% of motherf*ckers on here don't really give a sh*t about me or what I'm doing, but if it helps one person, then it's worth it.

only "mother****ers" on here who dont really give a **** about you or what your doing are the people that took the time out of theyre lives to try and help you, only to have theyre time wasted in return.
