As liz said she's put up for the winter.

hoping to figure out the 3 wire tps swap soon tho.
then I can do the throttle body swap

Kurt,

Did you get an idea what the fuel economy is like on this swap? Im looking for more power but I dont want to run premium in my daily, this could be the ticket if the MPG is right

Also check out 92-93 PTFE shifter bushing kit

If your interested in the bushings, I make the adapter to fit our celicas smile.gif
A little anti seize or grease with prevent any rusting. I use a disposable glove zip tied on the end to keep the dust out tongue.gif

If I keep my foot out of the thottest and drive with a brain I can get mid 20s out of it (24-26)
Mind you this is mixed driving an I'm running a s54.

I've talkyd to a couple guys with mr2s the end series Trans will net higher mpg an a s54 with a s51 5th gear can get 30mpg if you don't beat on your car

Considering a V6 Solara is rated at 22/28 or so, and the Celica weighs some 600 pounds less you'll at least get 22/28 and most likely net a notable improvement in city mileage. Highway mileage would come down more to aerodynamics.

This is true box but the gearing in the s54 brings the mpg down some because I'm at higher rpms than it would be in a solara
So the mpg drops back down some lol
