The long awaited transformation, 1 car 1 decade 1 dream Options

[coldbluesteel]

Hello everybody. like it says... this is the story of my Celica's transformation. This will be an on going thread so if it needs to be moved go ahead, thanks. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Great things are on the horizon.


The goal... to have the meanest street driven Celica in the world.

Details will be added soon.

I just read your take on that, def agree with you. I have my 5s opened up quite a bit and really can spin.

Yup !

Toyota's weak spot is that they designed the Intake Tract for mileage
and low end Torque using a short stroke small displacement.

Nice thing is their Oiling System has Zero Problems !

Engine will take 9 thousand RPM with the right springs / locks / keepers and
Valves.

You get there by having great Breathing - hence the 3 UZ FE redesign -
mirroring the Intake Tract of the 2 UZ Fe!

The gang at Lextreme JUST are getting this 'concept' of using the 2 uZ top end -
and there are plenty that SWEAR the 1 UZ top end is 'Golden' and the 2 UZ is junk !!

Even David has moved to the 2 UZ Fe > Bigger Bore / Longer Stroke / Better Breathing.


IF you do 'build' a 3 UZ Fe - since you'll be replacing the rods / pistons anyway - use a 2 UZ crank for the 3.33" stroke.

IF you have some extra cash - you can stroke out the crank to 3.5" in the 3 UZ block or 3.75 in the 2 UZ block - just use the 2 UZ stock crank for a 'Quick' stroke job.
