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 mad.gif*. Well, it's alot better than the bottom end i guess. easy fix.
[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 smile.gif


--------------------
the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

If you got the money I would ditch that 7A and just get a 3S or a V6. C'mon you got the $$$$$ lets see a turbo V6!
