wow 3 motors huh...shiet

well yeah theyr already shipped, and so far im comfortable with Powertune, they also recommended the 550cc injectros n 255lph pump

they told me to run haltech sprint 500 which is all something theyr comfortable to work with.

Hey thanks a lot for giving your info man I really appreciate it
I will probably contact you once my orders are together..
thanks Dave

when I drove it to the shop it was running normally because there was a vacuum leak hence no boost. Thank god we didnt find out on the dyno, had to have my room mate took it from the shop coz I six bloody days and told me it cuts out at 5000.

Yeah we did drive it to and back from the exhaust shop, and we didnt hit 8 psi it was only set on 4 according to the gauge

for some reason the car is running rich and I thought without the bigger injector itd would be the opposite, im not quite sure.

the car is sleeping outside waiting for the injectors and fuel pump to arrive before we get it tuned

I dont know if anyone is interested but i have an update..

i got my turbo running!!! and man does it pull.

however

cuts out at 5000 rpm! I was informed that if you are running under 7 psi I can still use the stock ECU.

Do i need a piggy back ECU? and/ or anyone know a place to tune it afterwards??

thanks in advance!

Hey thanks for your help man, I alrdy purchased rear and front engine mount from bursons spare parts (very nice ppl)

and I PMed you about ozcelica :D thanks again

Hey, how many supercheapautos have you been to?
I found a sillicon adapter for my intercooler on my third SCA shop visit on the northen beaches, as they didnt have any in my area
they have very limited numbers of shapes and sizes at each shop ( I dont know why ). maybe just give them a call.... and hope for a helpful staff

all 3 for $150? wow thats so cheap
I tried to join ozcelica still hasnt been approved...how do I get in contact with him?

I got 1 inch wheel spacers from ebay, for about 100
its pretty good quality however I paint them Black (i got blackrims) before i put them on to make it look like its part of the wheel

it just makes it look like I have a good offset rim.

hope that helps.

wow that is brilliant!

Im still in the middle of putting things together

Great news though!!!! I went to Liverpool exhaust, they were the only one that were willing to make a custom manifold according to my specifications! and it fits beautifully~
I hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

************************************ Rear engine mount **************************************************

another problem has find its way into my front door
My car was a repairable write off and just now ive noticed that the Rear engine mount is munted like no tomorrow.
I called Toyota and they wanted $129.95 each (looking at replacing the rear and front engine mount) - 15 day waiting period for the rear as they dont have it in stock

Can anyone recommend any other place with better value? or is there such thing as 'heavy duty' type? or is that something i just made up?

******** EDITED******* now I am able to see your pictures!!! :D:D

Hi lylee
that IS another alternative..however I already spent money on the turbo kit :P
for some reason I cant open the picture/ link you posted...?

have you dyno the car after? and see how much kw its producing? :D would love to hear

oh and also, how much did that cost you? if you dont mind sharing

Theres a place at penrith willing to do it without the car (this guy install turbos on bikes...! as if its not dangerous enough)
will update just incase this might help anyone else~

cheers

Hey thanks for the reply

Yeah I did consider that, that might be a reason...and it makes complete sense

the only reason is, we are Installing most of it ourself with a help of a couple of mechanic friends.

Definitely trying to save money in labour costs :)

Well I will try a few more shops and see how I go!

First of all....yay a reply!

Thanks for that! I know this might sounds stupid but bringing the car to the shop will be my last resort.
what I do have in mind is take the manifold I got with the kit ( the one that didnt fit) and give them the measurements I came up with (take the connection back abit closer to the engine) and let them do the rest of the connections...yeah sounds complicated...

Most of the shops I called seemed like they did not want to do it

Let you know how I go anyways!

Hi guys

Im a new member in this forum however ive been a fan before officially joining.

I am Installing a Turbo on my Celica 7th gen 2zz-ge

the only problem I have encountered is that most turbo kits are made for 7th gen celica GTS which is american...therefore LHD.

getting to the point does anyone know of a place that makes custom turbo manifold and/ or sells turbo manifold for RHD 7th gen celica

any help is appreciated! thanks guys!

also does anyone own or know someone that does own a turbo RHD 7th gen celica???
