Well, im not even sure that i'm worthy to post about my speculations and prospects.
It has been some time since i posted last about my celica going boom! I got back into reading and learning again about turboing the celica, thanks to CelicaST(blah blah, forgot the last of his screen name if he has any more.) I've gone through a huge change of life styles, being now that im an apprentice electrician making alot of money, instead of a college student with no money. Loving the idea of a turbo'd celica (namely mine,) i think im gonna bring her back to life. I'll fill this thread with progress about how far im getting on the build, week by week. What i know @TM (atm): [1] i tore off the head and took a look at the internals, blown head *great [2] Rust, progressive but not bad. [3] Needing injectors, the right onces this time. no jerry rigging them in there so i need some advice what to go with on CC size and fit. [4] Sold my Greddy E-Manage, so i need a new management unit. suggestions? im not afraid to totally rewire my car, i've done it before. [5] Need a new, much cleaner way to mount a Intercooler. as well as suggestions for which intercooler. [6] Need new IC Piping, sold that also. [7] Money isnt a problem, but i need not to go outrageous. What i want: [1] Bigger turbo, i think there is a .38 AR on there right now (i might be wrong but its been a long time almost 2 years) [2] Clean up the engine bay (electrically and dirt wise) [3] Go really, really fast -------------------- the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

Call around to AMS, PDXTuning, or any other reliable shop and ask them what standalone EMS they support or recommend. Maybe you can roll megasquirt!
The unit I'll be using is called VIPEC. I've heard great things about it, but it is super expensive. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
