wow that's surprising to hear

yea i cant beleave it my self

REFUND!!

got that right

this is a beautifully done Celica. Your celica may be one of the few reasons I tune up my celica. I have a couple questions I would really appreciate it ifI could get answers to.
With the exterior and astetics, where did you get those eye lids and front lip? and what car is that steering wheel off of?
And with the engine, is the head the stock 5sfe? and if so, how much boost are you running with that setup? if its the 3s, how do you get it to bolt up? this is definetly a noob question I know but how does that exhaust system work? Cuz I dont see headers running down under the block but theres still a muffler.
And how much of a drop in suspension is that to obtail that flush fit? I might turbo my stock engine and get 200-250HP just off my stock setup (5SFE, auto trans) but ill start off with basic greddy exhaust and a better intake from weapon r

THANKS MAN ..... WELL I MADE THE EYE LIDS WITH JUST STICKER VINYL ,, IT TOOK A COUPLE TIMES OF MESSING UP LOL . I GOT THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF A 99 CELICA THAT WAS AT A JUNK YARD BUT IM NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE .... I HAVE A STOCK 5SFE HEAD WITH 5 POUNDS NOW ... WITH A 3S TURBO MANIFOLD WHICH BOLTS RIGHT ON ... THE EXHAUST IS SIMPLE THERE IS ONLY ONE PIPE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE COMING FROM THE TURBO TO THE BACK OF THE OIL PAN .. AND ALL THE REST COULD BE STOCK IF YOU WOULD LIKE ... .... I GOT CHEAP EBAY COIL OVER THEY WERE LIKE 50 BUCKS ,,,,, THEY GAVE ME A 3 INCH DROP ...... WELL WITH THE INTAKE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO FAB ONE UP AFTER YOU BOOST IT ... IF YOU LOOK AT MY ENGINE PICS I DON'T HAVE ONE ON MY ALTERNATOR IS IN THE WAY ........... BUT YEA ANY WAY YOUR MAP SENOR WONT ALLOW MORE THAN 5 PSI .. AND IF IT DOES THE CAR WILL BUCK LIKE CRAZY .... WELL THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR POSITIVE COMMENT .. ANY MORE QUESTIONS HIT ME UP


HEAR IS I PIC OF MY DOWN PIPE

man those tyres are suicidal.....beautiful lookin celi tough

Thanks for the responce, and its a really nice turn even if that lip is from the garden center lol I was surprised to hear its only that lol But I may have to ask a bit more but thats the most detailed and straight foward info ive gotten from any forum I think lol So thank you so much for telling me about this awesome setup, I dont know if ill boost right away but if I do, im thinking this design with that boost would put out about the numbers I want. What are the numbers on this?

yeap no problem ......... im puting down around 200 hp give or take ... and soon im going to build a 5sfe that will be around 300hp .. eagle rods .. arp head studs ... ill put it on 15 psi then

FWIW, stock GT piping is 2"? Fairly sure a turbo would like 2.5".

yea its the only way to go

3" tends to be a better option once you get up into the 300hp range, it will flow much better. or you can get a 3" cutout thats what i did, sounds amazingggg

thats going to be my next project .... going to put a stock exhaust ... like original ... because it my daily ....... and then put a cut out on ..... right out side of the fender

it will be a bad ass sleeper
