What a lovely way to spend a day - pulling the motor and box out of the 4
 Dropping the subframe...   Subframe and exhaust removed...   Driveshaft out...   Engine and box just about ready to come out (loom was the worst part!)   Part of the WRC version's antilag system...  With the motor resting on 'supports', the car was hoisted upwards...   Thanks to my mate for the use of his workshop   My, what a big gap!  Uses for Holden Ute wheels #24  Looking a bit sorry for itself right now :cry:  Next step is to start pulling the motor and box apart so the real fun can begin Gary This post has been edited by GT4WRC: Jan 17, 2006 - 1:17 AM --------------------  1994 ST205 Celica GT-FOUR Group A WRC - running in new engine 1993 Rover 220 GTi tarmac rally car (under construction) 3SGE power here we come....

this is his plans
"Bench flowed cylinder head with HKS 264 cams, adjustable cam wheels and uprated valve springs. Will also look at the inlet manifold when it's off to see if the flow can be imprioved. Block to have oilways cleaned up (rough castings as standard) to improve flow and will be reassembled with fully balanced crank, TRD shells, OE rods and ACL pistons (0.5 oversized). That will be coupled to a lightweight flywheel and uprated clutch. This will allow the rev limit to be increased to at least 8000rpm. Will also be fitting some GReddy 750cc top feed injectors too and a much bigger Koyo aluminium rad. Once this is all put together, boost will be turned back down and the engine will be given time to run in properly. Will also give me chance to sort out a decent intake system using an A'Pexi filter and custom made carbon fibre cold air box. I can look at a tubular exhaust manifold, BB turbo (probably a GT30) and an A'Pexi ECU" |

Where to start?
    The WRC version antilag control valves...  Almost there...      Crank will be coming out over the weekend before the block's off to be cleaned, tested, re-bored and painted...  Pistons are in excellent condition. Wouldn't have sussed they were nearly 150,000km old!

Very Interesting Project Gary.Are you changing the fuel pump also?Did you order the Greddy injectors?I am suggesting to you Sard injectors and Sard in-tank Fuel pump with harness for ST205.You are thinking about GT30,a/r??
Another one by Toyota 150.000kms on pistons running on a turbo engine (probably most of the kms wasnt with standard boost  ) Please post news and more PHOTOS

Block stripped down and ready for the engine shop on Monday where it'll be cleaned, tested, oil galleries opened up and re-bored for the new pistons...
