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

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!

Not mine

It's a customers of the garage owner. Ran the bearings when the owner allowed the oil level to drop It's sat there in teh corner while the lad saves some more money to get the 3SGE repaired.

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...

Not sure about wanting it to be sexy, just producing a shed load of power will be good enough for me

Just finished lagging the Water to Air Intercooler for the GT4. Left it soaking in an acid bath for a few days to strip it back to bare metal and clean out the insides. 'Lid' was then cleaned up (removed a few bleamishes etc) before it was given a coat of etch primer. A couple of layers of gloss black closely followed the graphics before the paint fully dried (I designed the graphics myself and simply sent the design to a vinyl cutter. I'm also swapping from a twin to single entry turbo soon). A couple of layers of clear coat were then added to seal in the graphics. Once that had been give a day to dry, I then lagged the lower half with a roll of Thermo-Sheild Tape >>TM>>. Job done







While the car is off the road, decided it would be an ideal time to 'bling up' those calipers too...



Once the paint is fully cured, I'll paint the 'Celica' lettering using some white enamel paint. Rears will also get done to match

Great Work my friend,careful work.
The color of the calipers match to the brembo original color

About the chargecooler,i thought you were about to install a GT30 turbine,are you staying with stock intercooler?

Yep, GT30 turbo and stick with the stock WAI. Will be looking at increasing its efficiency even further by fitting a larger pre-rad. The WAI is extremely efficient - good enough for the WRC cars

Then you should change your driving profile depends on the weather conditions and the temperature, this is actually what the WRC teams are making When Toyota used to run with the ST205 in hot weather conditions country they used to tie few blocks with ICE over the chargecooler to keep it cold cuz the place (Above the Engine) was taking all the heat from the WRC Engine.
I think if you have few runs with GT30 using the stock charge cooler and have a look on your inlet temperature will help you to understand if you need a front mount intercooler or original chargecooler.  My opinion is that for just a run the chargecooler its fantastic, because you can prepare it and have the run, after the first run its getting very hot, and hotter etc.The front mount intercooler its getting cold over and over cuz of the fitting place.Another advantage of chargecooler it’s the position and the distance of the turbo, you avoid lag.

I like the new look of the intercooler.

Hence the reason why I've lagged the cooler with heat reflective material. Red Line 'Water Wetter' will also help keep the water temps low and as stated, I'll also be fiting a more efficient pre-rad.
A lot of people tend to dismiss a water to air intercooler as being nowhere hear as good as a conventional air-toair. I have no intention of changing the OE set-up as I beleive that it is more than up to the job.

GT4WRC i also prefer the original Toyota charger cooler setup but in my country it is too hard to keep the temp at low levels I enjoy my car very much by the night time but it is what i told you before,it depends from your profile,if you want a daily driving setup and pushing the car over and over i think a FMI will be a good deal.

I like your work on the original charge cooler
