I'll take advantage of this and say hello as this is my first post in this forum. I recently acquired a GT-Four from 1999 randomly traded my 2003 celica Gt JDM ofcourse was a neat ride but too low gas mileage was good beat the **** out of the car and of course... wrong wheel drive :S... So I kept driving past this pretty GT Four and I decided to check it out the next day... My cars underside was beat to hell ( rocky roads speed bumps carter looked like muhamed ali punched it) He said No mechanics or the deals always go sour, sure what the hell my car was beat to **** and ate cans of oil. I tested it and sure for me it was like driving a missile. So now the details, I liked that it had a nice thick Aluminum KOYO racing radiator and a Cusco alloy strut brace and a sweet japanese roundish air intake and 57K kilometers on the Odo...the limited 300km/h TRD speedo so I was turned on by this and the next day I was drivin this gas guzzler home...No surprise it had problems....
So the damage is this blown turbo seals no idea of what the engine condition is my intake manifold and everything else is covered inside with oil... I came to the US and bought basically 2 grand worth in parts didnt have that much money so I had to compromise, Heres the list, try not to cringe. Im basically gonna slap all this **** together and see if it works... GODSPEED KKR 480 Twin scroll turbo ( says its 450HP capable I'm aiming at 350) 4 Iridium spark plugs heat range 7 HKS SSQV black limited edition BOV AEM Water/Meth Inj 5 Gallon tank (our gas aint so purdi) Ebay oil catch can Timing belt set with new water pump (dont need the water pump but taking it as insurance anyways) ACT 6 puc clutch disk ( stock clutch slips a bit under high rev launching) crappy chinese AFR narrow band digital clockything (just so it tells me Im not melting pistons 25mm ebay wheel spacers ebay electronic boost controller ebay n1 carbon fiber burnt tip muffler electric exhaust cut out from Raceland USA carbon fiber raiser blocks from hong kong and the normal GT four wing for 40$ off a local supra guy. cheap 25$ bishieclipse FCD Ill try to update once I get to Paraguay and slap all this stuff on, Should be fun to see the results...

The water meth injection nozzle is hanging atm, the system is set up, not tuned yet it just sprays at 1 psi and it was set to spray infront of the radiator (Have to see where to but the hole for this thing ) no meth has been added ( I know its corrosive as fck), The whole insides of my manifold are covered in oil, its minimal but it sure is messy my BOV use to spit out oil onto my hood I dont know how bad the oil thing is now since I switched to synthetic I'll check my oil level but It shouldn't be bad. I think I have some bad turbo seals a local turbo expert told me my turbo was probably set at max psi and they blew the seals but we cant know for sure till we take it out. And no the digital boost controller is the one that I bought to be able to control the boost for the new turbo, I just have it tee'd off no solenoid or anything just to see the numbers in solid digital info instead of a crappy clock, What confuzzles me is that the clock would show 15 psi before...BUT...performance was the same...I'm betting the clock is **** and that I have never gone past 8 psi...Last night I Pulled in 3rd till redline and all I got was a miserable 6-7 psi on the boost controller.
