Ok ill get my thread going now. Here i am tearing apart the car getting it ready for new paint. I probably should have fitted the 1MZ first but timing just worked out this way.
    Here the engine bay is getting painted. the pictures dont to it any justice.     Should get the rest of the body painted this week and then ill put it all together. Ill take some pics of the engine when I get home. It actually snowed up here last night so I wasn't gonna go near outside -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

so you swapped faces and the elecrtronics? im not clear on what you did really and how itll give a correct rpm reading..
if you use the stock gauge and electronics itll read 50% higher... i know from experience... redline on my v6 is past where the gauge stops moving. i believe there is a resistor you can change to get it at the right calibration. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
