Ok didnt know it can be used as a stand alone gl then ill be seeing the progress guys

>

In this case - no MegaSquirt. Ussualy - for all the bigger setups MSQ is the first choise over all the Stand alones. But the problem is what there is only 1 guy who is able to setup MSQ here in Lith propertly. As i said before - i ussualy dont do any tune-ups cuz i know like 3% about tuning all the ecu's So im leaving this operaion to a pros.

In the 7A setup (on a stock internals) there is no need for a Stand Alone at all - cuz 200hp is almost a limit for a 7A, and for 200hp tune up - Emanage is the way to go - Cheap and good to tune up.

good call doggy.
megasquirt is nice, but it can be a bit of a pain to get up and running properly..
good to see the leakdown test results were in order, that is always a good thing.
good work on the fabrication on the ic and stuff!
cant wait to see the results!

I would agree that unit can handle that "boost business". Although I don't know about that much (what I don't find on web I don't know ), I believe text below answering a lot...

Tell me about that

Update Got the Valve cover gaskets, still waiting on the main seal where the camshaft and ignition module connects... Still waiting on the Flanges for all the stuff what will need to be fabricated. I think everything will be started tomorow - or at worst case wednesday...

Hey, nice project Is the turbo kit from one of your machines doggy ? I wouldn't mind to get my 7afe turbocharged by you guys, afterall it's only a 8 hour drive for me

>

Hey Nice to see my old Front bumper

Yes the turbokit came from my Old ST. But it would be easy to build another kit for me actually. So its not a problem at all if you would be intrested, the main problem is time

OooOoOOK - here we go Finally.

Got all the stuff what i was waiting one, so i thought its about damn time to start works.

Here are all the flanges / oil supply fitting / Fuel Rail:


All these where machined by my friend, so i got them kinda cheap for all the stuff and works i paid like 28$

I decided to rework the fuel rail what the outlet of it had the fitting for the hose, instead of leaving the stock FPR in place and connecting the new FPR from it. SO fuel rail had been rescrewed and new fitting made for it:



Got the fitting for the oil supplie witch goes to the block (stock oil pressure sensor place), it has the place for the stock sensor to bolt in, so the stock sensor will work like it was working before:


All the flanges for the oil supply / oil return from turbo / Downpipe flange / and Bov flange. Still i will need to weld the bungs for the oil supply / return flanges - but this is and easy job


Some piping what i bought at local exhaust shop for the intercooler and downpipe (20$ ) :


Valve cover gasket set (new) cuz valve cover is leaking like crazy on Martins car:


And here is the victim Still just sitting in garage and having no idea what will gonna happen


Ooook as for the start - i removed airfilter box:


It wount be needed anymore - so it goes into the trunk

Next thing was to remove the bumper / inner fender plastics / under plastics (what are under the engine) and the front safty bar (witch is "bent" a little ):


After all was removed - next thing is to remove the header / alternator (alternator removal is a good thing cuz it will give you lots of free space to work with the oil supply fitting and it will be easyer to remove the header)


After header found a place on the ground of my garage here is another target what i was aiming at :




Screwed it out and placed my new fitting in the place:


And put the stock one back into the new fitting:


Oil supply was ready
Next thing was to drain the oil out from the engine and remove the oil pan:


Once the oil pan was out it was clearly visible what some one before me removed it (hmmm maybe somthing was done to the engine before....)

Next target was to clear some space around the Turbo, and the main problem was this box with the relays (US 7A might not have this...):


Well after some thinking - this box found her new place near the ABS module:


Now was time to test fit the Turbo header and Turbine itself:


Hmm it sits in the place Still to make it sit in the place and have some room around i had to make some changes to the Radiator, and to the upper radiator brackets. As you can see in the pics below, on the radiator there are bolting places for the A/C fan, they where hitting turbine cold part, so i just had to go and cut them out (hope marting wount be putting A/C in his car pretty soon )


And i had to redrill the moutning holes on the upper radiator brackets to move the radiator more in front of the car:



And i was reaby for the next step, mount the oil distributor along with the oil supply hoses... But then my wife walked into garage - and said ENOUTH so yea... i had to go out and leave everything as is Anyway, still its a friday - so i have to spend some time outside Keep you updated - cuz tomorow i will be working again on this beast. For now whats it.

not to hijack this thread but, has anyone ever sent you, or have you ever done any work to any nissan's Romas?

>

Is this would be good enouth Nissan Pulsar GTR 550hp >>> (last summer this Nissan saw a 720hp with NOS and when the main aluminium pulley cracked at 7400rpm on a dyne and went out along with the half of the block...) On this car i'v done most of the interior stuff / exterior stuff. I aint ussualy work with the engines (Only Toyota Engines ), but im working along with the biggest Tuning Company in Lithuania (GroundZero) so i think they can build / help on everything..

lookin' good, can't wait to see it finished.

Good stuff, Romas - as usual. Keeping fingers crossed for this setup. BTW- don't remove windshield washer tank.

Back to buissnes - its sunday (ussualy i start my week at sunda ) so im gonna be working whole week again Got alot of stuff done today (basicly all the freeing space / mounting stuff work).
Well here we go again:
First step today was to free some space in the engine bay, so some stuff had to be removed and relocated. First thing was radiator fan - it gets in the way there the downpipe will be - so i aint wanted to leave it there and melt down from the heat - so, there he goes



Once it was removed - i had to make some space in front of the radiator, cuz i was gonna place on the left side in front of the turbine, so it will not only cool down the radiator - but at the same time blow some air from header and turbine. I did the same setup on my Old ST, and it worked pretty fine, cuz Fan fits in front of the radiator like it was meant to fit there But to fit it there - i had to remove the Oilcooler radiator from the old place, cuz it gets in the way there the Intercooler will be mounted.


After half hour here hows the front of the Celica was looking (can you say - Naked ):


Fan was fit in the place:




After some time spent making brackets for the fan, finally - it was fully bolted in the place:


NOTICE - if some one will try to install fan like this - the important thing is to Switch the WIRES of the motor places - When it is installed BEHIND the radiator - it sucks the air in - once you get it in front - you have to make it BLOW the air.


Now was the time for some cutting To run the intercooler pipes, i use different route when most of the people do, so i just cut 2 holes in the front support, this way i make the piping shorter, and easyer to run (different intercooler sizes might need different route, i do my setup like this cuz my Intercooler sizes lets me route the pipes this way). To make everything more understandible - take a look at the pics:
Left side:

Right side:

After i cut the holes i used simple rubber hose, i cut one side of the hose and wrap it on sharp edges of the metal to avoid chatering sound if the pipes will be hitting sides of the holes. After the hose was fitted, i drilled some small holes in all the corners and used some Zippies to hold the hose in place.

Once the holes where done - was time to install custom front support bar what i made long time ago:


After the front support was in place, was time for Intercooler mounting and some messuring for the new IC piping:


After this, next step was to find a place where to mount the Oil Cooler. It was kinda hard to find a place for it where it will get some air, cuz Martin uses Fog lights in the bumper so i couldnt install it in the p0lace where the side opening on the bumper are, so... I found a place for it in the fender, right there the Washer fluid tank is (Tomasz - i left the Fluid tank untouched ):

Its still a permament mount, cuz i will need to make another bracket for it to hold nice and tight + tomorow im getting all the hoses for the Fuel / oil.

Everything installed in the places:



And the last thing for today was mounting the new FPR, so i just made simple bracket for it, and drilled 2 holes in the firewall - and whoala


Tomorow i will start all the welding jobs (IC piping / Downpipe) and will be running some hoses to all the places and etc My plan is to start this beast by Tusday if everything will be ok And then - DYNO tune I cant wait....

awesome work romas. can't wait to see the final product. martin's a lucky guy.

Nice work Romas.

Isn't it possible to mount the Oil cooler behind the IC? Because from the looks of it it doesn't get that much cooling this way?!

update... Was working like crazy to days in a row - and honestly forgot to take pics of the process... Cuz i was all focused to finish this beast today (but i could not do this... its still needs IC piping..)

Well - here are the pics what i took today of the finished stuff:

Downpipe - had to build my own one from the pipes what i bought:



Finally mounted the oil block with the Oil pressure - so now the oil lines are finally finished:


FPR, Boost controller solenoid installed in the place and all hosed up :



Turbine / Header / Heatsheald is 100% fitted and everything connected:


GT-Four fuel pump installed and goes into its home:


Soldering Injectors plugs + installing injectors (valne cover and intake plenum are removed.)


Finally solved the damn Emanage puzzle - cuz i only had wiring for OBD I, but after some research OBD II has the same wiring pinout, only the wire colors are different from OBD I:


Boost controller found its home in the ashtray :


And the finall shot (blurry a bit - i was a bit shaking cuz it got cold somehow in my garage (some one left doors not closed fully...)


Started the engine, everything works perfectly exept i have one major leak in the Turbo oil supply flange... So i already ordered the new one - tomorow will put it in and finish the IC piping... Friday is the Dyno Day - already ordered a place there... So Its getting to the end finally

nice doggy, but no clamps on the vaccum hose for wastegate/bc/turbo ?

>

No clamps cuz its only a test connection To see if everythign is ok. Will fit all the small things / blots / clamps / and etc once i will see what i woulnt need to remove anything from the engine bay. Btw - its almost imposible to remove this hose, i ussualy cut it out if i want to remove them They are heated there.

You should try to get a kit together and sell them for the 7afe, i would be in line for one!

>

The kit like this would cost around the same $ as 3SGTE swap Its better to just build a kit for eveyone by them self - this way you could just source all the needed parts as cheap as posible. And there would only be few small custom things left what would need to be manufactured.

>
OMG... where is my "red top" ? And where is my little, poor "Beams" sticker? No... That's not my engine

edit: see? Totally different engine... now we know why blurry shot



p.s.: just kidding

^^ someone seems excited. everything looks awesome. nice placement with the boost controller.

>

Hope that "excited" you mean excited=enthusiastic not excited=peevish . Cuz my aim was to say: "OMG I can't believe those amazing results/change took only two days"... In other words, Romas is just unbelievable...

>


why such a long hose for the greddy solenoid? I mean a shorter hose would make the engine bay look for clean.

I like this thread

verynice, but arnt u going to melt those plastic/rubber hoses that run ontop/next to the turbo?

boooooost.

>
haha. I want I want

>

My ST-T was running like this for almost 2 years - and nothing melted. If the heat in the place there the hoses run would be such high - everything would melt (including radiator and etc etc..) The bigger head source is Header / Downpipe and Turbo hot part. For the turbine - there will be SSteel cover made, Header has a Heatshield, and doenpipe is wraped in heatwrap. So nothing will melt.

As for the long hoses for the EBC solenoid - i like how they run - its look like there are more action going on under the hood So yea

I could just put the 2 short hoses and mount the Solenoid near the turbo - but practicly there is no place there (cuz of teh damn ABS module....)

As for the Updates - Car is running / drivible. Everything works fine (finished everything yasterday), today finished with the exhaust. SO almost everything is done for tomorow.... Exept one small thing as ussualy has to pop out.. The seal in the inition Distributor is totaly out... It leaks like crazy and i will need to manage some fast way to replace it... So more work left...

Will be posting pics tomorow, and some Dyno chart, and maybe some Video Who knows

^ me want them now.
