very nice!

btw, i know its cool to dress up the engine, but the blue just dont look good at all. if i were you id go for painting things black or silver.

[Drocay]

looks great man, but i agree with lagos it looks wierd but if u get it to run then i don't care wut color the bay is

[97sccelica]

dont waste anymore time painting stuff

get that hybrid running!!!!!!!

and since your going with a custom wire harness, why not get somethign better than an ae86 ECU?

[Kwanza26]

Cool... I'm gonna be doing that sometime soon... ;]

My question, why'd you use a bigport head? With that, what intake manifold are you planning to use? And why the Ae86 ECU/ Many questions... hehe. Looks good so far. And you might have to get a new dizzy... unless you're gonna splice.

[celicarocker]

it looks fake blue... like it doesnt look like a real engine...

[Dr_Tweak]

Looks awesome. Forget what everybody says about the color, if you like then go for it. I think it looks good.

What kind of boost are you planning? You are using 4AGZE pistons, right? That's exactly what I'm planning right now...

I'm gonna use Megasquirt though.

[frotou]

This is not the real color of the blue ; it's because of the flash...I run the ecu to go with the distributor and with e manage .... I'm sure it will be suficient for my setup.I plan to boost 8 lbs in break-in (5000 km) and after I don't know ...My friend plan to boost at 18 lbs with a 7agze and stock rod .

Celica rocker : come see later I will send pics of engine in the car ....

I use the big port intake with the tvis removed ; maybe a four throttle upgrade later ....

18lbs... that doesn't leave a lot of room for error. You are looking at lots and lots of tuning my friend. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Im with the guys that say to forget the other guys.... ?... lol anyways I think that the color is perfect for the yellow engine bay and car. It should look really nice when all put together and make sure to post specs and pics when done. Way to go man!

[dstrbcelica]

looks great man! can't wait to see some pics when you get finished and have everything up and running!!

[x_itchy_b_x]

its gunna haul "butt" i bet

[Digndoug]

Man that is awsome, thats crazy, first, why did you choose building up an boosting, second how muh is this stuff costing you. an how much power are you planning?

[frotou]

My goal for this summer is first to make the car run ... After the break-in , I plan some hours of tuning on a dyno and run 14-15 lbs of boost. I expect 220-230 hp at the wheels. Yes I have also a wiring from a ae86 to splice with my harness; after some hours spend on my wirings diagrams I plan 1 day or two on it . I don't calculate the cost for now , I wait to have finished . The main reason to have go with this setup is because I will be the first to have it in a celica . (I think ...)The motor is in the car and the manifold is completed ; I'll send pics this week .

Thanks for the encouragement !

(The guy who plan to boost at 18 lbs will make it in a ae86 and with a supercharge , so I think it's different than 18 lbs from a turbo)

looks beautiful, you didn't say anything about a tranny though, are you sticking with stock?

[SpedToe169]

Looks good. We'll all be very interested in the info on your G head swap when you get a chance to go in depth about it.

[toyotaspeed_90]

i've said it before and i'll say it again (maybe on this forum, maybe not).... if you're going to use an ECU with t-vis (like ALL 86 ecu's) then DON'T REMOVE THE T-VIS...... it'll freak the ecu out when you get to those rpm's and it isn't there..... from all stories of those removing the t-vis and not doing anything with the ecu, when it gets to the (~3800?) right rpm's, the engine actually hesitates & slows down.... then it jumps back up accelerating.....

but yeah, it won't be happy that it's not there.... if possible, use a 90-91 ecu..

btw, you shouldn't need a custom harness...... find an ae92 (redtop bigport with t-vis)... the harnesses should plug into the ae86 ecu (same bluetop ecu... just the blocks are different)... but i'm not 100% sure on that one.... but in any case, i'm using my 4a-fe ecu and wiring on a 4a-ge..... just need to lengthen a couple wires

and i would suggest since you're spending all the money as it is and spending the time for the rebuild.... go with something other than a US 4a-ge ecu.... go with something that is map based... just IMO

will those cam gears work on my 7afe
