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.

looks good you're doing amazing things!

(but glad your cleaning up the colour )

[x_itchy_b_x]

looks awesome!! that plenum on that intake manifold is huge!

[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.

[frotou]

I reached 200 whp last year and I restarted new things for the celi.

-aquamist water injection
- hks gt3037 turbo
-hks gt-2 wastegate
-hks timming belt conversion
-custom one sided intercooler with 3 inch piping
-custom 3 inch ss exhaust
-greddy 720 cc injectors
-professional products 75mm throttle body
-custom electric power stearing
-electric water pump with controller (davies craig)
-abs removed
-engine bay color change
-full wire tuck
-earl's fitting and line

More things later .

[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!

[frotou]

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.

[Nartanian]

[Mstoochn]

where does the gigantic aluminum plate sit? did they add a large obscure feature in the ST's i dont know about?

sexy looking engine man.. what comp are you running on the pistons?

[frotou]

The aluminum plate with all the electronic will be located under the passenger carpet . I run approx. 9.5 C/R with the pistons, bloc, head and headgasket I use .

[bmj67]

looking really nice. one suggestion you should get some of that rubber weatherstrip edging to put on the cut edges of your wiring plate so that the wires cant rub and get damaged

[toyocelic]

update

[OOBE]

Werd. What's up with this, frotou?

[CelicaST_CALI]

update??

[normality78]

Btw, what gearbox you guys using? I kind of worry C56 gb wont able to hold whn hit 300hp mark

[frotou]

I use the stock at200 gearbox ( c56?) .... Gearbox will be another ''project'' later , I have to make it run and tuned now ....

Sorry for the update , the car was stored for the winter.

Some new pics and more to come !

rear located alternator and some work on the tuck wire


gsxr individual coil for more clean look





The engine is now installed and run ... just have to take some pics .

Frotou

[SwissFerdi]

WOW! Oh so gorgeous...beautiful. Put it on a dyno yet?

[ZGear]

Drools......

I could almost eat spaghetti off that clean motor if I could.

[mariosdarkworld]

How much Hp and Tq you think the engine will make? Any goals?

[frotou]

Some progress

Wiggins clamp on the intake + drill hole for the water jet and air intake temp. for the ecu .







New 70 mm throttle body with wiggins clamp



The turbo received also the new clamp





I don't plan any numbers right now , the limit will be the turbo and also the tranny. With the new child, the full time job and the house I can only hope and try my best to complete the project .


More pics soon.

[presure2]

WOW.
wiggins clamp mania!!
awesome work man, do you have a great source for the clamps, or did you bite the bullet and pay full price for those?

[AnaXyd]

DAMN! That looks awesome! Looking forward to next update!

[frotou]

Hi there .... So slow progress . I have to '' steal '' every minute I work on car.

Exhaust pics











The '' cut and weld '' method was very time consuming ... but the result is superb ! ( and the sound too !!!)

The plug an play wiring



Relay box relocated just in front of wheel . ( I know , the idea was from coomer)



Almost all the wires are now relocated.




Hope next update will be soon .... hum .... it will !!!

All that work, I hope you have decent numbers, your engine bay is super clean.

[nik]

[presure2]

absolutly a work of art man!
you have more $ into the wiggins clamps, AN line and hose than most put into theyre whole setups!

[enderswift]

wow just wow. anyone whos ever tried to custom make anything will more than appreciate the level of craftsmanship here. Its a frustrating labor of love and you took it to the extreme. just fantastic. I hope this car is all you wanted and then some!

[Stambo]

i'm at a loss for words

[bazda]

Very clean claude!

Waiting for the dyno results.
