I'm liking that interior. That shifter cover is something I've never seen before though.. it's weird to me lol. At least it's an auto and doesn't get in the way too much.

Everything looks good. Keep it up. You can pick up a 3VZ-FE cheap. They came in many different Toyota models so they are easy to find and parts are easy to get. Stephen_Lee is doing a 3VZ swap right now, if you look in the Engine/Mechanical section of the site.

Went for a trip to Australia,got back a few goodies for the celica =D
![]() And to save on fuel (prices shot up to $2.37 a liter of 91 octane unleaded X_X) plus to add on some power(i'm not exaggerating by saying it adds power throughout the rpm range like never felt before), a MSD6A with a Tach adapter PN.8910-EIS : ![]() Also added a Direct Power System Version 2 by Exceed and Trusty which i managed to get locally. Gives a noticeable difference nonetheless.Not too much though, but the car does feel a bit quicker. Now I'm looking to do some work on the ACIS engage point as mentioned in the ACIS/BEAMS discussion but before all that,i'm bummed as to why there is a few hp difference between a manual transmission 3rd gen 3S-GE and one with a automatic transmission.I've read in this forum that the intake cams differ but shouldn't that affect the compression of the motor???For all i know,regardless of the transmission,the compression is the same...Anyone to shed some light on this??

3. Gen 3S-GE A/T
In: 240deg, 8.7mm lift (timing 7/53) Valve diameter: 33.5mm Ex: 240deg, 8.2mm lift (timing 53/7) Valve diameter: 29.0mm 3. Gen 3S-GE M/T In: 252deg, 9.8mm lift (timing 7/65) Valve diameter: 33.5mm Ex: 240deg, 8.2mm lift (timing 53/7) Valve diameter: 29.0mm Compression ratio (10.3 : 1) is still the same, my guess is different ECU tune. -------------------- |

Hey dude,
I'm interested in the MSD ignition system, how much does it cost, was it easy to install? Oh by the way you should be using a higher octane than 91 with a 3S-GE -------------------- Mike W

I wish mine was red!! ![]() Hehe.Next paintjob?? =] that meguiars stuff does wonders ![]() you are missing engine pictures,, would like to see what has been done to the heart of the beast nice ride bro Ah,it sure does.A few years back, right after the paintjob on the car(im guessing one of my fellow school students had a hand),the car had scratches(not too deep though.PHEW!) from what looked like someone had dragged a bag or something from the front drivers side of the vehicle all the way to the rear tail lights ![]() ![]() Hehe,i knew someone would ask. Will do so right after i do a little tidying up in the engine bay(not to mention all that greasy,dusty dirt that doesn't come off just by wiping..grr...lol). Thanks bro =] |
