frotou 7agte build thread, finally some engine bay pics !!!! Options

[frotou]

Last year the engine was in break in period @ 8 psi. Nothing was going wrong exept ... for the oil consummation ; 1 quart every 300 miles. I decided to open the engine again to see. It was the fuc**** total seals rings who dosen't do their job. So for 2k7 ;

act xtrem pressure plate and 6 puck (w/o spring) disc



custom aluminium race intake



beside the manifold/turbo



arias 82 mm piston/rings



pauter rods (already in motor last year)



block bore to 82 mm



No more blue this year



Now waiting for some parts to reasemble the engine. More pics later.

[x_itchy_b_x]

[nik]

very nice cant wait to see the numbers also i had that same clutch and long story short didnt hold the power

[Valo666]

dude..that intake is nuts. Who made it?/how much did it cost? I would love to get a custom made one for a 5s. I officaily think we need a Canadian Celica meet..like work with the guys from Ontario MR2club and maybe go with them to Kingston for their meet.

[pitcelica]

The only problem I would see with your setup is the wastegate placement... It's really not the best... The exhaust air flow must do a complete 180° turn to go to the wastegate route. It will be hard to stay at low boost on this big turbo (relatively compared to a 7AFE engine). You may experience boost creep because of that and the 38mm wastegate.

Otherwise, you did some good work!!!! Congrats!!! The engine bay paint is really nice!

pitcelica ; the 38mm wastegate and the turbonetic turbo was my old setup and boost control wasn't an issue ; even at low boost . Some pics of the new stuff .




hks gt3037



earl's fitting and lines



All the electronics are all on this plate for easy troubleshooting and wiring



I redone all the wiring with quick disconnect harness

Reassemble the engine with the hks wastegate, gt3037 turbo and shimed oil pump.





Twin tensionner belt configuration using 4age hks belt. We can see the relocation of the alternator also.
