A new beginning... Options

Sup members?

I wanted to get my thread going even though I can't post pictures right this moment, but I figurerd I'd lay down a small story at least.

The story goes, I recently threw a bucket shim in the head in my 2nd gen 3sgte motor about 3 weeks ago, soon after that, I decided, that was the sign to end the current project and start a new one like I've been wanting to do for a while now. I then came across Pipes and his GT4 clone shell for sale. So, I picked up the shell and now I begin my new journey

I'm not sure what my goals are for the car but I will keep this thread alive with thoughts and questions for sure! I can't wait to get your input and for you to see my output. Gosh I am excited!!!

Stay tuned!

Well if you go with a 97+ 1mz do yourself a favor an get the whole intake an fuel rail setup off a 94-96
That way you can convert it back to a return style fuel system like the celica uses
An if you start n/a with a 1mz a stick gt fuel pump will work as well

If it matters, I will most likely be running new fuel lines up and down the car but keeping the electronic parts of the fuel setup the same, should I still get the fuel system from a 94-96?

v6 awd would be kind of cool, gotta boost it though, you'll be taking a massive power cut staying NA.

GT4's aren't all that impressive in stock form either, but then back in it's day I'm sure we **** on Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, anything except Evo2+ for comparable 2.0Ts in Japan in 1994

v6 supercharged awd should be pretty sick, will definitely make light work of those annoyingly long E154F ratios that catch you in turbo lag on tight corners,

and that big heavy v6 should anchor the front down a bit more, make that rear end a bit more fun

If I go the mz route, I will def be supercharging it. As far as the gear ratios go, is it possible that I could just swap out the final drive for that of a MR2?
