That's a very very neat Swap.
It's so complete. Great job!! Do you intend to open up the ByPass Valve to activate the ALS as well ??

I would like to activate the ALS, but I don't have enough information on how it operates. At the moment, the BPV is connected to the system, but passage is blocked. I don't think that drilling holes will fully activate the ALS. I believe there are some ECU programming considerations to compensate for the fueling. But before I consider activating the ALS, I would like to first learn more about the WI system, as well as the IC sprayers. I know that there's a pin on the ECU that needs to be connected, but what I'm wondering is how does it operate. I don't know if it works by means of a certain boost level, RPM level, or by the push of a button. I need to research this some more before I even consider activating the ALS. They motor swap just got completed and I would like to enjoy it a little first before I attempt to blow up the turbo.

So since you're researching using the intercooler water sprayers, do you plan to convert to a front mount intercooler setup at some point?

for the IC sprayers.. if you just want a chiller you can make them your self for pretty cheap.
you can get some small PVC piping from any Home improvement center and basically make a rectangle that is slightly smaller than your IC, you will need to mount a inlet adaptor to it. once you have that made drill small holes into it so the holes are angled towards your IC.. I wouldnt do straight on but get a little bit of an angle to em. Once you do that you will need a braided line.. not sure of the size yet as I am currently working on mine - but you will connect that line to the same kind of tank that you use in paintballing - CO2. You will need to incorpurate an electronic switch that you can hook up into your cab.. Basically you flip the switch right before your run and it almost freezes your IC and will chill the air for the duration of your run... or you could just let it go the whole run but thats kinda overkill and wastes your CO2 pretty quick. My dad used to run something kinda like this on one of his older race cars and I made almost a sec difference on the quarter mile when he used it compared to when he didnt. I will post some pics of it all when I get it all done --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

No, the IC sprayers spray onto the heat exchange (shown below). The heat exchange is practically an IC... a sorta pseudo FMIC... an extension to the TMIC.   EDIT: Added a closeup. The IC sprayer is sitting on top of the heat exchange (not a very good picture, unfortunately). Here's what the sprayers look like when attached to the bumper:  This post has been edited by kuya1284: Dec 10, 2003 - 3:02 PM |

I may consider incorporating something like this, but for now, I'll probably just stick with the WRC components. Thanks for the suggestion tho buddy.

Ray, I have been watching your project for a while. Well, reading it and stuff. I must say, it must be a dream come true.
 . To have the 3rd Gen 3S-GTE swapped in sounds amazing. Good luck! Keep us posted on the progress.I noticed someone asking about the AWD conversion. I have been reading on a Colt/Mirage forum because of a friend of mine who is into Colt's. There are a few Colts on there that have done an AWD conversion. A big one using the drivetrain from the GSX Eclipse. I'm don't have a full understanding on it yet, but I'm reading up on it. Are you planning on doing the AWD swap? I know in the future, I will attempt it (once I get the Celica ). I was thinking that that forum could help people interested in it.The guy's post is here: Post And his website with detailed pictures and write-up is here: Website I know its not a Celica, but I figured the information would be well-above useful. I hope it helps. |

Actually, I'm still debating if I should do the conversion or not. If I do decide on doing this, it won't be until I get a second car, which might not be for a while. I have other plans that I've given top priority. I'm thinking that this may not happen till mid-2005 or later. Thanks for looking out bro.

Would the AWD be cost effective, I mean wouldnt you practically need the rear clip and alot of custom work???

not just a rear clip, you would have to chop out the floor pan from the unibody and weld in the ST205 floor pan...
 ray the wait was well worth it wasnt it haha

this is what I get for hanging around mini-truckers...
If you want to do the AWD conversion, just set it all up and then weld in two cross suported pieces of thick square tubing to the bottom of your car for support. Then just swap over what you needed from a st205, or 185 for that matter (as long as the drive ratios are compatiblewith your wrc.) It seems feasable. Plus,there are bound to be thousands of rear st205 cuts in japan. after all, we are hungry for the front halfs. I would think the parts you needed could be shipped over in a few boxes.. |

I got a call from the body shop today and they're just about to get started on my car today. They told me that they'll have my car ready by next week. Woot! I can't freakin wait... |

As for ME, no, it's not cost effective. Nor is it worth any time or money. I think money can be spent in better ways. BUT, if I had a grip of extra cash, then I'd think about it. I wish I'd hit the Lottery or something of easy cash so I can have a lot of extra money to play with. -------------------- [toyota]
