I've got a piggyback ECU for sale if you need to help out. smile.gif


which piggyback do you have? originally if i could i probably would want to keep the oem as long as possible but who knows what might happen. getting into diy tuning sounds tedious, dangerous, and a good learning process.

i have the ECUMasters DET3 with the built-in 4-bar map sensor. Ran it on my supra for the last 4 years before I went standalone with their EMU Black cuz I wanted to run flex fuel.

Sorry man never got back, I'll have to pass on that offer (for now?). Trying to research and very little amount of people used the DET3 with the 1MZ that I saw.
I ended up going a different route with URD/SS FTC since I'm not doing too much to the car atm.

Haha perhaps one day when I "complete" the car but for now that that's not the case.

She currently has been sitting like this for a while now.


I kinda got distracted since I last worked on her and suddenly I'm married now haha.

But I'm about to start on her again, I have been busy since then stocking parts.
- TRD Supercharger
- 2MZ/3MZ cams
- Shimless buckets
- AFR 1:1 pressure
- Jspeed 3-point strut rear
- Beatrush 3-point strut front
- Beatrush strut rear-mount
- HID ballast/bulb conversion so I can run both low and high on the outer headlights
- CPE Intake (rare 1mz intake)

Not sure if I'll get to installing everything as I had hoped but if my brother allows another year I should get the stuff on.
I just don't feel right to not finish the build.

my fav 1mz swapped 6th gen celica. get it dun!!!

on second thought i see you using the cusco front strut bar. It looks like its the st205 version (taller clearance version). that fits on with stock oem hood? i say this because you say your going with the beatrush 3 point in the future....

wow amazing they actually made an aftermarket intake manifold for 1mz. they dont even have that ish for the 3sge beams redtop.

It is indeed the st205 version. Collin had it installed when he had the car. He did actually cut into the hood to make it fit. So it shouldn't be an issue for me right now... Until I get a different hood. Am thinking about a CF hood though just to help with heat temps.

Yeah the intake was actually well tested by CPE with their own black-box computer. Not as good as getting a sacfii; but I also got it cause it does look better and is a rare piece hehe.

higher temps even with an alloy 1mz??. I saw the video by driving 4 answers regarding alloy vs iron blocks. each have the pros and cons. I see

i get excited for builds like these because there are only a handfu on the web. THE ST205 builds arent as exciting to see as 10 years ago

oh well it's not that hot on the daily operating temp. but i know the problem w/ the supercharger is the eventual heat soak (after hard driving) so having a vented hood should help out with it. Plus I also have a small dent on the hood due to the battery holder being a little too tall. Still need to re-locate that as well one of these days the the rear.

speaking of heat, i also ordered parts for the A/C system minus the lines for both the daily and this car. $1300 give and take for oem + whatever there wasn't oem for. man denso compressor at $340.... so expensive.

Sadly... I just keep acquiring more parts w/o actually doing something to it haha.
- THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR THAT IT SHALL LIVE AGAIN... I hope

Other acquired parts for the car:
- AE90 master brake cylinder (since the 205 strut bar hits oem braker cylinder)
- GT4 calipers
- Better armrest
- Metal door sills
- RECARO SR2 F/R seats
- OEM window visor
- All from Derek N (except the AE90, rockauto ftw)



- (The other set of oem visor and trd strut bar will go to the daily)
