Hi, after over a year of gathering parts my Celica finally is in the garage and gets her custom header, exhaust and some other stuff.
Yesterday we fitted the big Evo9 intercooler, i had to get the ST205 crash bar because the stock one is to tight, intercooler piping was done too and i'm very happy with it. I will use the stock ST205 air filter box, since there is not much space between the filter box and the engine, the IC piping is a little bit tricky but it looks like we found a good route. The header will be done in the next days. Short list of parts i'm using: - Garrett T25 Turbo from a CA18DET - Mitsubishi EVO 9 Intercooler - E-manage Ultimate - Innovate LC-1 Wideband - ST202 3S-GE Injectors (372ccm) - ST205 Fuel Pump - Bosch Blow-Off from a Audi S3 - Custom Header and 3" Exhaust - dozens of other small parts |

Why didn't you just do a 3s-ge or 3s-gte swap? Du bist der mit den Ultraleggeras, der öfter mal auf dem Eurospeedway unterwegs ist, stimmts? (Not relevant to US-habitants... i apologize for writing german) Joa der bin ich I'm not a big fan of the 3S-GE(except BEAMS ) and i dont want to swap the whole engine. The 3S-GTE is without a doubt the better base for power but i'm not looking for that much and 7A-FTEs are very rare in germany.. Holy hell!!! Is that massive intercooler really necessary on a 7A?? How much boost are you planning to run? Absolutely not , for some fun on the streets a much smaller intercooler would be enough, but i will use the car for trackdays and ~15min full throttle ask for something that is able to take the heat and release it fast enough, i think the Evo intercooler is a good choice for this job. I don't plan to run much boost, 8 or max. 10psi on the track, the 7A may take more in daily driving with only short boost attacks.. but a racetrack is something different. |
