supershannon77's new 5SFTE powered celica, NEW DYNO RESULTS PG5 285+WHP! PG6 vid added! Options

[presure2]

Hey all,
as some of you may know, shannon and jim (supershannon77) have a 3sgte swapped 6gc, that they bought from RJB on the forum.
They started off with a 91 auto GT, that they had a local shop install a "ebay special" turbo kit on. the shop installed the kit, and promptly blew the motor @ 5.5 psi.
shannon then had the shop source and install a 99 5s, and made ~147whp if I remember correctly, with the auto tranny, @ 5.5psi
They then blew said auto tranny. lol
So, IIRC, they sold the 5th gen to a friend, and bought RJBs car.
They have had a few problems with it, including a bad tranny, which Defgeph and I went down and replaced for them.
While i was down there, jims brother joe bought the old 5th gen back, with the blown tranny, and fresh 99 motor in it.
We disscussed diffrent options for it, including a manual tranny swap, but with the car having pre 93 electronics, and no knock sensor system, I convinced them the best thing to do would be to find a nice 6th gen chassis to swap the engine package into.
At that time, we also disscussed power goals, and to me, it seemed like Jim and Shannon were just looking for a streetable, everyday drivable car, with ~225 or so hp, to make the trip a bit more enjoyable .
Where Joe, on the other had, is really looking to build a BEAST down the road, 350+whp ect.
Fast forward a few weeks, and browsing the FS section here on the board, I see a nice 95 with a blown motor. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=49717&hl=
Bing, Bang, Boom, Jim and Joe are on it, and go put a deposit on the car.
We set everything up, and a few weeks later, Jim, Shannon, and Joe, load the 5th gen INTO the back of a uhaul truck, put the 6th gen on a car hauler attached to the back of said uhaul, and drove them up here.
here are some pics and discriptions of whats gone on since.

They arrive with the cars:


We get the 6th gen off the car carrier:


HOLY CRAP, they really DID stick the 5th gen in the back of the Uhaul!!!!!


this was NOT as easy as it looks:


mmmm yellow nology wires!! LMAO


With that done, the following morning we got right to work, and got the cars up and draining, and prepped to get the bad motor out:




Then we pulled the motor and tranny out of the 6th gen:

i mean, you certainly not go into boost each time you ride your car. When you aren't boosting it, when you shift only at 3000 RPM, do you have compressor surge... This is my case, and because you have the same setup as me, I want to know. Can you take pics of your intercooler piping and how do you clock the turbo down... Mine is sitting on the slave cylinder bleeder and I cannot clock it more to the ground. This result in a 1/8 play between radiator and turbo output intercooler coupling.

Let me see some pics of how much your turbo is clocked to the ground.

Thanks

there is no compressor surge on this car at any time.
i do believe there are pics of how the turbo is mounted earlier in the thread.
the guys who built this setup for theyre old 5th gen welded on a 90* outlet onto the turbo.

::edit:: heres the best pic i have of it.
