I'll just skip to the good stuff here as no one likes a long story.
Bought car, lowered, blew head gasket, fixed. Put in some 5GC cams and a header at the same damn time. Drove, let friend drive for a while, got back. Head asked blew again, did again. Motor started knocking, and here we are. The go: --1MZ swap in the bay, awaiting wiring --S54 with welded diff The stop: --5x114 swap in progress (I still need wheels) --V6 Camry brakes The dance: --Tein Stechs --GR2s --Rebuilt rear end --GT4 rear tower bar The show: --2post --OEM 15s painted black (for now) The beats: --Sony Bt2900 --Alpine Speakers The glasses: --HID lows --Yellow highs This post has been edited by bnr32celica: Oct 12, 2013 - 6:16 PM |

For once I listened to everybody and did the right thing...however, I now have two engines, 1 Celica, and hours of wiring ahead of me.
I'm going to try to accomplish the wiring myself on the 1MZ swap, simply because I don't have three weeks to wait around. Wiring diagrams will be needed, and by my own admission, I'm not that adept at it, but I don't have a choice but to at least try. I want her up and running in two weeks. Well, if it isn't, I'm pretty sure my dad will set fire to it, so yeah. Not to mention that without a firm daily driver, I've been stressing. Parts I've ordered or have n possession: --1MZFE from a 1995 Camry wagon, 112k ($200) --Southbend clutch for 3SGTE/V6 swap with S54 trans($0...I was owed money) --Trans Mounts ($120) --Gen1 JDM 3SGE ($325, on the way) --3S maintenance parts ($300 from Toyota) Common sense says find another Celica and V6 that, but I have the 1MZ, and that is a terrible thing to waste, like a black kid's mind. Would rather have the 1MZ in the daily, and the 3SGE in like a TE37 or something. Does anyone else besides Mr220v do the wiring for these swaps? Also, Who wants to make me an engine mount for that passenger's side? |
