Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Here it is finally. I got it running a bit ago, but blew the engine due to a faulty wastegate. After replacing that and rebuilding the engine, I got this final project, enjoy.

1990 Celica STX, 1.6 liter 4afe.

T25 Turbo
JGS Tools log manifold
JRC 5" intercooler
2.25 charbe piping
DSM 450's
SAFC
MSD BTM
Stealthmodeperformance Oil lines (feed/firewall kit)
Boost, Oil Pressure and EGT gauges

The HMT Love

Attachment 37858

There it is. Running about 8 pounds on it right now, runs nice and strong. Going through stock exhaust, but has a seperate dumptube for the wastegate. I'm going to be building a 2.5" exhaust next weekend, and hopefully getting it tuned very shortly.

I want to say thank you to all you guys on this site that helped me out with everything, and to Steve for all those free stickers and personal advice ;)

Peace,

Colin

Gotta love your ugly fluxcore welds, mine are even uglier! O0 Who cares as long as that ---- holds, it's gangsta.

Love how the HMT sticker perfectly fits your window and your intercooler looks totally sleeper sexy.

Good ----!

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

nice welds yO! a bigger exhaust will help it out. i think we need a video ;)

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

looking good. have you thoght about running megasquirt for FM? im thinking about tryin it.

car looks real good though. you will have a noticable difference when you get a good exhaust...or run that ---- open DP. ;)

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

It is basically open downpipe.... when I'm at max boost >:D

My exhaust isn't welded to the downpipe yet, I just left the downpipe sitting over the stock exhaust, so it still sounds really badass. I get full boost by about 2600-3200 rpms (I don't know exactly because my tach doesn't work, so I just glance down at my SAFC to see what RPM I'm at. It's hard to keep my eyes on the road and watch that SAFC at the same times.

I was going to run megasquirt, but then I decided to wait for MSII, and here I am. Still an option for the future though >:D

Thanks for the comments, guys. Jeff or any Mod, if you want me to make an official writeup, I would be more than happy to, just let me know.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

after I get my clutch in maybe snafu and I can make one together since were both local hell we could make a vid of all the turbo mn cars. Anyways are you running a bov? if not my buddy has an extra 1g dsm.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

It's a 1g DSM BOV ;)

My brother just got a new Digital Video Recorder, so maybe I'll ask him if we can borrow it for the next HMT meet. I need to find somebody local that has some 4 lug stealies with ---- tires so I can burn the crap out of them ;)

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

upullrparts ;) I do if you have a 4x114.3 bolt pattern but I think yours is a 4x110

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

4X100

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

I was thinking, hmm where have I seen those kinda welds before. lol And you definately need to get a vid of it.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

thoes st's are 4 lug? i thought they were 5x100 like mine and the other ones. mad props and toyota love O0 hopefully my celica will be boosted sometime.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

awesome that you finally got it runnin good. no more 19psi fun now, right? ::)

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

No more 19 psi fun, until I get a larger turbo and forgies ;)

The ST was the only one with the 4lug pattern. The GT/GTS all have 5X100

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Solid work! I love it.

Question.

is it the same motor you have in yours as the 91 SoHC corolla? A buddy of mine at work wants to boost his and i told him i would help. The only thing that concerns me is the FM. I didnt know if you could use the DSM 450's but looks like you are. Just want to know if the same can to be done to his 91 corolla. Ill PM you for more info so i dont thread jack your ----.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Many think it's an SOHC engine because it only has one cam gear. There's a sub gear inside that attaches the two cams together, so there are two cams. I believe your buddy has the same engine. The 450's dropped right in, I just used the grommets/orings from the 4afe. Biggest pain is the manifold because you have to watch out for the radiator fan, alternator and radiator, but you can make it just fine.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

wow man looks reall good.. did an awesome job

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Damn, you got it all together. Good work.

It's good to see a non-honda on the HMT tip. The turbo for the integra is coming in a couple days. We should be having a meet soon either way.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

damn, nice job there... i like how you didn't even bother knocking down the bird turds.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

aaahhhhh snap! i got the same stereo.
Lookin' good, can't wait to see it the next meet/bbq.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Damn my buddy has the same style celica that he is going to make his winter beater. Maybe he would like to get around a liitle faster in the winter

Nice setup love the fmic placement

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Nice job man. Good to see something other than a honda every once in a while.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Good stuff brother. Let's see a vid of it ripping! Again, very good job man.

Looks great!

I think this is the first one of this kind that I've seen.

Are you just running the hack right now for fuel management?

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

I'm just running the SAFC the way it was ment to be used, not the hack.

I promise you all that there will be some minnescrotum burnout session videos comming soon, but let me break the engine in a little bit.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

nice, different, but that downpipe looks like it has a combonation of herpes and warts

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

how does that beast run? Great sleeper look to it.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

It runs pretty good. My timing light died on me, so it's set by feel. My electrical is all messed up for some reason, I'll be taking care of that this weekend. Once it hits boost it's damn fun >:D

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Ive got a timing light if you need to use it, Looks great, I love the body style on those celicas. Intercooler is perfect! Good job man, when your ready to make some MN hmt burnout vids give me a call!

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

:o Oil pressure is a little high...jk

Looks awsome, hmt at its finest

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

yeah, the oil pressure gauge is number one on my electrical fix list. EGT is going crazy too, and my tach doesn't work :(

I think it's my MSD BTM that isn't hooked up right.

Aaron - I'm getting a timing light tomorrow, but I'll for sure hit all you guys up when she's up 100%

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

1-Hi are you using the stock 4af ecu?
2- are you using the stock 4afe pistons are these the same as in the 4ag
3- which pistons do you recommend me to use for 7 to 10 psi of boost the 4ac pistons that are supposed to be low compression pistons or the 4ag pistons that are supposed to be stronger

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Holy Back from the dead. Should have looked at the date buddy. Try PMing him with Q's like this!

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Argh. After a while, all threads should get teh lock so this doesnt happen...

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Like already stated, he should have just pm'd instead of bumping a 6 month old thread. But wow, this does prove though that a noob is capable of using the search function. :o Good job on that part.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

hey thanks sorry but i think it would be easier for this guy to read my question in this way i also sent him a private message :8

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

hahaha the welds on your DP are epic, good work tho, much betta than i could do.

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

that dp needs front page action :o

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Nah, This thread is so old, he probably forgot about it and will not even look at it!

Re: Finally finished, 1990 Celica ST with boost *56K eat a dick*
 

Yeah, those welds were at 4am, when I had to drive the car at 8 to go to work. I was so pissed at the car, so I just hid that w/ heat wrap.
