After driving my celica around for the past couple weeks I have come to the conclusion that I need more power in the car. I was thinking of doing some bolt-ons such as an axle-back exhaust, short ram air intake, and maybe a throttle body spacer. One other thing I just found is a speed chip that is supposed to add a great deal of power.....and maybe a cheap supercharger

the chip


This is a picture of thhe supercharger that I found...


It seems pretty legit and yes I do realize it isn't going to really give me 100hp....but I figure between these four mods that I would be able to net about 100hp.

I am pretty excited to see what the celica can do with all the added power it will have, if anyone has experience with these mods advice would be great......

Thanks in advance for any helpful info





















































Sorry I was kidding about all that stuff...what I was really going to say was it is time for an engine swap.....
Several days ago I just got my 4th gen 3SGTE (ST215) to my buddies garage.



Got a pretty good deal on it because the seller didn't have the ECU with the engine, so I need to track that down. I have heard the wiring is difficult...but I figure it can't be that hard and I have changed a few lightbulbs before plus my friend has done a b16 into a honda civic and he did the wiring for it himself and said we should be able to figure it out.

The bad news is my quaife lsd is still about 3 weeks out, so I might run the S54 tranny for a few weeks before getting the real E153 in. Stay tuned for updates..

In my ST215 swap, I did like you said : use an Escort EDIS system and bolt it on. This is what I did. I did a special bracket that has adjustment for the VR sensor. If you want to use the stock sensor, you will not be able to adjust it because it's bolted on the oil pump housing. You cannot move the sensor versus the crank pulley, that mean no timing adjustment. And you cannot move the pulley versus the crankshaft. So no adjustement there too. And you need to grind a tooth into the stock crank pulley to make it work with the EDIS.

Maybe there are some EMS that can handle the stock pulley/sensor configuration and use COP, but Megasquirt cannot and this is why I used EDIS system. For now, there is absolutely no downside of using EDIS.

I'll post pics of my pulley/sensor system soon
