Hello,
Pretty much a lurker of the forum but thought I would share. After a very short period of no Gen 6 ownership I bought another GT4. It had pretty much the spec what I wanted to get my previous car to and was a very nice example so it made sense. I might get slated for buying a pre-modified car but I don't care to be honest! 1994 Celica ST205 GT4 JDM Spec: Engine etc: Garrett Ball bearing GT3071r kit (4" intake version) with Tial external wastegate, 3" downpipe and screamer pipe Apexi PFC and Commander Mapped by Ryan G from 2Bartuning Sard 800's Ported manifold 3" Japspeed stainless steel exhaust Blitz SBC -ID III -Spec R and Blitz power meter Innovate wideband sensor with afr gauge Walbro 255 fuel pump Straight intake with big K+N filter Magnecor KV85 8.5mm leads Evo 8 fmic Blitz bov Omex rev limiter/launch control operated from clutch pedal switch Suspension/brakes: BC coilovers Grooved Toyota front discs,ebc rear discs and yellow stuff pads front and rear Whiteline adjustable rear arb Hel brake hoses Cooling: RTP alloy radiator Slim fans with override switch TRD thermostat Turbo pre rad cooler Mocal oil cooler Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate Mocal braided hoses C-One cooling panel Swirl pot and header tank system Silicone hoses Interior: Momo steering wheel Momo alloy gear knob Alloy pedals White Dials switchable from green to blue Full leather interior Carbon fibre dash bits Exterior: Carbon fibre wind deflectors Carbon fibre door sills TRD side skirts and side spats De-tangoed Later lights Spoiler riser blocks Cat1 Alarm and immobiliser |

Ah fair enough if you don't sell them. If you do start making them let me know - it is a superb rad and wouldn't want something else if it died (can't see that happening any time soon - it still looks factory fresh). You want to get advertising on the UK based sites perhaps?
Main pipe top of rad ---> Swirlpot---> Waterpump Header tank has a pipe from both the rad overflow and the swirl pot overflow. |

We used to be traders in the GT4OC alex. Currently trading in CCUK and many other forums as celica's aren't the only car we work on. Regarding your header tank. So aside from the 2 inlets, you have no outlets? There should be a large outlet to feed water back into the system. Otherwise your Header tank is just acting as an overflow tank for the rad and swirl pot. I was wandering this because you have such a small header tank where as normally people use about 2-3 litre tanks. Im trying to figure out if it is necessary to have a header tank if in your case you manage to lower the temp simply by using a swirl pot on it's own. Im researching on doing it for my car you see and some people say the expansion tank is more important than the swirl pot. |
