Well guys, just dropped off my 89 celica GT-S with one of my friends dad who specializes in Toyotas, cars and trucks. He's going to be doing this engine swap for me. So tomorrow i'm going to see him and he's going to tell me what we need to get out of my 89 celica to put the 3SGTE engine out of it, and put it in my 95 celica. I know I already need the wiring harness, engine (of course), and the GT brackets...
I'm really excited, i'm going to drop my 95 celica off with him tomorrow and he told me he should have the swap complete by Monday, so i'm wicked excited about it. I'm going to go help him sometime this weekend when i'm not hanging out with my gf. I'll post some pictures sometime this weekend and keep ya'll updated.. Were all of you guys this excited when you knew your plan was finally becoming reality..I'm really excited about it.. -------------------- |

i almost pissed myself with arts post. good luck with the swap and i think you should sloooooooow down n read up on in detail on turbo engines to the point where your a nerd so you arent som loser whos always spinnin bearings or poppin head gaskets & tourchin pistons n all that fun stuff
on a lighter note, i hope everything goes well and i hope you post alot on here with your progress and the different routes you choose to take with whatever setup you plan to go ahead on, most people will be dicks when correcting you, but take it and learn and im sure you will have a sweet ride when your all done!!! just dont get caught throwing alot of money into something that could be better -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

I'm going out to my buddies shop today to get everything I need to upgrade my engine to a turbo - and throwin it in my trunk...lol Why you ask? I got a letter from my insurance company, and turns out I owe them $560 for 3 months of insurance (but I already paid two months of it)...how do I owe 3 months? My question exactly. lol So now i got to come up with a lot of money in like, a week...WHY ME!? lol So I'm going to scrap everything on the 89 celica that i'm not going to use, including the car, its the quickest way to get cash. lol Then I can hope my buddy will lend me the rest , which I think he should. So..the turbo is going to be put on hold for a while, but it will be done eventually..lol -------------------- |
