yea, the HG was ok too
i was very impressed considering i drove the car 20 miles after the pistons melted did you not see the pictures i posted? you could look thorugh the #2 piston and into the oil pan. it was bad, but i got a brand new short block for $0 This post has been edited by 97sccelica: Apr 6, 2004 - 9:53 AM -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Ok heres my deal. I am getting the the "extreme kit" from turbo kits.com I am not trying to sound like a badass by getting it . I just as many of us think our cars look great run slow. If you could take a look at all the extreme kit comes with and tell me what else I need to buy. at the same time I am getting the kit I am also ordering an apexi SAFC just hit me back with what you think I might need. also what psi will I be able to run safely on the turbo kit once bolted on. Then hit me back with what else is needed and how many psi you guys think it will run. In my town there are some punk ass kids who think they are the **** and I have one of the nicest looking cars in town so everyone wants a race. I am not trying to say my car is the nicest by any means but in this town we have kids with like a stock 84 civic with absolutely nothing on it thinking they are the ****. I know I can beat them now I kjust want to be able to run circles around those bitches. Also I bought a g-tech so my horsepower on my st is 127 right now hit me back with what you think the turbo and intercooler with hit me with. Thanks

Ohhhh, I get it. This comment confused me:
I thought you mean that everything was ok. Now that I read it again I see that you meant everything was ok EXCEPT the piston. |

Hey Politics, did you end up buying that turbo kit then? I was just wondering if you did and if you were installing it yet or anything...

Also the turbo kit I am interested in comes with an injector control unit with two more injectors do you think that will help with the leaning out problem?????

there is only one fuel pump that i know of that is a good price and fits fairly well and thats the 255lph walbro pump for a mk4 supra TT, $90 on ebay will that kit be reliable, ask on some corolla forums for better answers, but i would hope it is, if its a complete kit sold by a company 7afe @ 8psi should have no problems, if the fuel system is modified to meet the higher demands(since the kit comes with injectors, then it should be good) but like evil said, the whole black box thing is a limiting factor, and since we dont know what it does exactly, who knows if its the best for your engine in your state, with its weather. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

In preperation for the turbo, my pump has been on for several hundred miles. I'm really suprised how quiet it is! I really expected it to be louder. +1 more for toyota engineering. |

There's all kinds of other details other than a cost per cost comparison. Stuff like getting around emissions (if your state has them) and downtime. I know with a turbo, at least my car might be down for a weekend maybe rather than months. I don't know about everyone else, but my Celi is my only car, and if she's not running, I'm in a heap of trouble - so cost for a 3s swap for me would mean paying for all the swap stuff plus the cost of a second car... |

That is the link I found for the walbro fuel pump. It says its good up to 500hp. The question I want to know is. . . How much boost can a 7a-fe take before it blows. |

depends on how much money you want to spend
get the fuel system to support 15psi, and have a way to control ignition and fuel, and you should b able to drive the car, with a reduction in life expectancy, but not necesarily blowing the engine. anything that cools the intake charge more and lets you put in more fuel will allow for more boost. fmic, intercooler sprayer, water injection, menthol(sp?) injection, bigger injectors, better fuel pump, performance FPR, engine management. it all helps, that and dyno tuning. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
