Well, I just slapped things together. Bolted up fuel rail, put some oil in, dropped the radiator in (literally) and crossed my fingers. Cranked it for a second...blub blub....cranked it again...VROOM! You bet I was jumping for joy! Took off my jacket, threw it on the ground and cheered.

Gotta put the alternator on and finish things up and hope it drives.

Just the header and 3 feet of exhaust. My stock exhaust was 1 7/8" and the GZE's is 2.5". Think I'll c-clamp it to my old exhaust to atleast make it drivable.

My first swap and I'm STILL feeling the natural high.

Wait til you go for your first drive by yourself with the motor you put in man

I had never driven a car bymyself really before it, I swapped in the zc in a weekend. Started up, threw in some 91 and had to play with the TPS.

Took me about 2 hours to get down standard shifting on my own (lots of pissed off people lol) and my first self race was just something Ill never forget

I wasted almost a full tank that day, W O T for 25%, just everywhere and for long *** pulls

Dam this site brings back the best memories

------- props as hell man. I was honestly thinking about that swap into my celica.

Did you do your wiring youself? That's so kickass man. jesus.

looks pretty cool. you said it is supercharged.. what psi do they run stock?

sounds pretty mean to

Depending on which Celica ya got (ST vs. GT), you could do a nice 3S-GTE swap -- those motors are stout!

Yea, did the wiring myself. Wasn't that hard, just darned time consuming!

Well.... they rate it at 170HP @ 8psi. This is on a 8.9:1 CR motor, too. There's a valve (think of it as a wastegate) that opens up to bleed boost at 8psi. Remove that and the boost runs a little bit higher. I'll hold off on doin that for a few a days though.
