have you had a chance to put her on a dyno at all? just wondering what she is pushing.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
Nick, My camera takes pretty good photo's and video if you want to take some vids of it. Im sure remy would be better for pictures, though.
damn, that fills up the engine bay nicely. more pics and some vids please. and also interestd in dyno numbers.

ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

sure man, would be much better than a camera phone. Remy's camera is pretty good too, he's the one that took the vid of the engine open header. I need to shoot a good video, all the videos from my phone are super scratchy.


anyone got request for shots?

as for dyno numbers, that will come eventually. I got a few things to tweak before, so I really can't say when.

my hero!

in the future im grabbing another white 6gc and doing what I have dream'd of...
weight wise. how much did it change the ratio from stock?

Also how is the traction with the stock wheels.. I have a set of 17x8 FN01RC that im holding on to forever... would 245/40 Keep the power down? =]
Very nice. Driving impressions?

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
damn! that's sweet. i hope to do something similar.

questions:
1. is there room for the AC?
2. do you know if you can get a front strut brace in there?
Driving impression - It's quite a joy to drive, example, passes cars like if they were stopped... w/o down shifting. Having a large amount of torque in 80% of my RPM really makes the Celica feel light and strong.

corners are very sensitive to the right foot, a little too much and I'll find myself under steering like if I was on a patch of ice. Speaking of ice, when I'm driving on wet pave I can spin 1,2,3 like spinning on ice (rpm moves freely to the redline)

In 1st gear I can spin/chirp/break loose on command, in 2nd I can almost chirp/spin on command but it takes a bit of a shock to break traction or else it just takes off.

jdg371 - I'm pretty sure 245's would hold good as long as you don't pop the clutch, in corners they will spin if you put down the pedal too much and on a hard launch they would spin quite a bit but I'm just guessing here, put a V6 in your car and find out biggrin.gif (V6GC#2 spot is still open, i think)

Zimluura - AC Fits no problem, MZ compatible compressor, some custom hoses in the worst case et voila
Right below the alternator is where it goes, pretty much the same spot as the 5SFE compressor. You can spot my two old lines from my AC (pict below)

The stock strut bar fits in there but it gets in the way of the engine rocking back and forth... not good
You'd pretty much have to make your own strut bar. Later down the road if demand is there I will be making custom parts for the V6 including a nice beefy strut bar. No promises though, It all depends how busy I am.

those cop cars are all over san antonio now...

2015 Subaru WRX. World Rally Blue/Black2001 Honda S2000. Spa Yellow/Black
ES-TU MENTAL???

how much and when can we start? i knew someone could put a v6 in a celi. so much spare room in that bay. my bro just bought a beater avalon and says he will only put it on the road this winter. i already called dibs on the motor (it as less that 150K on the odo), but the body is shot thanks to the Greater Moncton roads and all the fracking salt they put down around here.

BTW going to Monkeytown this weekend for training, might see/hear you on Mountain Road.

avec du tel talent tu dois être un Acadien...a plus tard houmard!!!
