6G Celicas Forums

Some dude from auto zone told me to add some fuel injector cleaner to my car since its 20 years old and should bring performance back . If it's true what's a good brand cleaner

a lot. 500, some even say 650. but im no genius. nor i have one.

Yes all factory JDM motors are limited to 118 mph IIRC. To disable it you need to cut the Purple wire with the white stripe on the 22 pin connector. Expect CEL on if you do that so you might want to get a switch on that wire so its not permanently cut. You MIGHT experience issues with power steering and/or speedo gauge. I have not removed speed limiter on my gen3 so i cant confirm this info, its just what i found out from reading. The best way would be purchasing one of HKS or GREDDY speed cut defencer (~$100) or going standalone

why do you need to take the radiator off? There's two different coolant systems with the GT4's. The engine which goes to the radiator and the one for the topmount IC.

Not sure if it's the same, but for my st185 swapped Celica, here's what I do:

Remove 4 bolts to take the cover off, and then I think there are 2 or 3 bolts that hold the ic to the motor. (It's been a while so maybe off on numbers)
Then loosen the hoses from the throttle body and turbo and just wiggle it till it's free.

I found it easier if I just remove the throttle body inlet directly. Makes it easier to pull out.


Hope this helps

I was away from my computer the other day and couldn't post the pic. It's a pretty massive i/c with 3" inlet and outlet. I'm using two reducers to drop it down to 2.5" inlet and outlet because 3 inches is way to large for my setup. The bracket was pretty easy to make, it is all scrap steel my buddy had lying around. It bolts in where the old crash bar was. We made the hooks that hold it from the top because that is where the mounts are on this one.

I'll use this thread to avoid opening an unnecessary thread.

Has anyone any experience with Toyo Proxes T1R tires? I think the reviews are pretty decent for that price.

An FMIC of size 600mm (24”) x 300mm(12”) x 76mm(3”) with an End to End" Length of 800mm (32”) will go straight in easily after you remove the Charge cooler rad set-up. You may need to relocate the gearbox cooler tho, power steering cooler should fit fine between the FMIC & Rad.

Install tips would be:

Find a smooth piping route with as least bends as possible.
Clock the turbo.
Try to use hosing (Silicon hose) as pipe joiners as opposed to actual piping runs.
Make sure when using hoses that you have big enough rolled pipe ends so the clamps can hold the hoses tightly on the pipes.

No modification to front bumper needed, all that’s been done here is to remove the lower grill & down lines so the bumper can be filled with mesh & a few custom bling modifications

Engine pic, note turbo is still in the normal position & hasn’t been clocked yet.




Front bumper & FMIC measure up, note the vertical runs are being removed, not needed to fit the FMIC it’s being done for aesthetic reasons.



Good overview of the piping runs.

I'm pretty sure I have a picture of mine with the bumper off in my build thread in the "my project" section if you want to look at how I did it. You'll need a welder though

hope this helps a bit

a CAI for your ST205 is pretty pointless as it will just be heated in the turbo.. Cooling the intake charge is done by the W2A intercooler.
So if you want to increase the power via cooler intake charge, look at upgrading that.

I'd recommed a wetting agent for your charge cooler water such as redline water wetter.

There is a how to guidein the stickies and another guide on the site. I think that one of the members did a CAI upgrade on the GT recently, with the Honda Accord CAI system, try searching for it (use the "site:www.6gc.net/ CAI" in google, this search is useless for three lettered words).

Broke a handle off, and was needing a mechanism that opens up the trunk/fuel tank. I dont need the cable, just the mechanism. Thanks

Who said I'm not doing them any more? I'm actually sending a couple to Switzerland tomorrow

I'm not sure what puddle light lenses are, do you mean the courtesy lights in the door panels when you open the door? If so then the lenses from a Tundra will fit perfectly and they are clear. I ordered mine from the dealership, from a 2006 Tundra. For the third brake light, I believe wolfie308 on the forums here makes them, you might want to talk to him

Well..... my elves have been busy making special toys and here's a few of them.....
