Someone suggested I post this here. This is My 1994 Celica ST, with the complete engine and drivetrain from a 1993 JDM ST185 swapped into it. Its getting close to being done, Engine, drivetrain, and suspension work is done, working on the fuel system and wiring as I post this.
If people show interest, I will post a complete parts list, and pictures of the whole AWD swap in. For now here are a few picts of what it looks like at this point. Take in mind this was a wrecked car to start with, So most of the front end is new. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

the stocker manifold actually performs better. a turbo is partly driven by heat. heat is lost with thin tube manifolds. (I've cracked one of the manifolds with all the proper bracing) the cast iron holds all the heat and helps drive the turbo.
How much power are you looking at making? are your 3sgte friends on this site? -------------------- |

How much power are you looking at making? are your 3sgte friends on this site? The bulk of the work is done by the engine pushing the exhaust out. Although I will concede the turbine is partially driven by the hot exhaust gases wanting to expand. I suppose if your needing to pull every ounce of power, then the extra 10hp from having a ported stock manifold that holds in heat is for you. LoL. Now if we could stop talking about my ****ty manifold, thats going to crack to pieces, and cause the deaths of a small somoen family? LoL |

LoL Don't worry - that's just how they help around here. They are not trying to wish you disaster or harp on you for your descision. There's just alot of experience around here [cracking manifolds included] and this is their way of offering advice. ![]() Bada$$ car - hope you keep us updated. -------------------- ![]() ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
