PS works 100%.
I used the 205 pump and the GT lines bolted up.

If anyone has any questions about what parts I used or how anything was done, post it up.

why wasn't I informed sooner I like to play cars.
WAIT i know you didn't want thehorniak touch. i can't blame you

What are you doing with your old engine? it was a 95 5sfte right? I'd be intrested in a few parts from it

5S-FE but yeah - you want his cams [I have a sneaking suspesion that motor is gonna end up in someone else's project on the east coast with a damn Turbo strapped to it]

>
lmao..he may WANT them...but he aint GETTING them...the cams are spoken for.

i have a few pics i took ill post after supper.

I KNEW you were gonna be the recipient of those cams if not the whole motor for a fresh rebuild. So then - what are your projections as a gain from those cams with your setup. I'm truely interested.

>
to be honest, i dont expect big "gains" with them, i just expect them to help extend the powerband a bit.

anyway, dustin posted most of the pics i have, so ill just add a few more of the b-pipe i made him.

im pretty proud of it, the welds arnt pretty, im very much so still learning, but what im more happy with than anything else is the placement and fit of everything.
clearance is good everywhere, and it runs right in the middle of the crossmember and steering rack.

not too bad for my first attempt at making a b-pipe, i think.

this one shows the whole thing tacked, and in place checking fitment. you can see here how it goes up and over the crossmember, and back down to meet the HKS exhaust.



this is a good shot of the crossmember/ PS rack clearance. this is looking back at the exhaust thru the crossmember.



and a couple of it out, first tacked up, then all welded up.





dustin covered the installed shots, and the sweet QTP cutout. which BTW, i think sounds absolutly AWESOME.

and finally, the money shot:



what a way to spend a weekend with friends.
hehe.
btw, D, your welcome man. i know i ribbed ya hard all weekend, but you know how we do.
>>JDM Guy FTMFBBQW!!!!!>>

Nice - i assumed with the powerband being smoother the 5S drop off would be lessened and you might gain a few more ponies up top.
Nice B-pipe [That's the hardest exhaust part to fabricate on our cars so the rest is all cake] - if you ever need tips or help with welding LMK - I used to weld for a living back in the day.

i expect big gains with them Manny. more lift + duration = more boost = SUPER BOOST!

Exactly [itchy will you be my translator? That's twice today I think]

whats the ps? and death i think ftmfbbqw means for the mutha fcukin bar B Q win! lol

>
right on.

ps = power steering, you NOOB !!!

Or passenger side depending on the context.
MFBBQW - I got that too but my thoughts were what do east coasters know about BBQ? Ever eatin BBQ in NY? It's hilarious [I'm not hatin cause I can't get a decent philly cheese in this god forsaken place ].

You guys did a great job in such a short time!

The things you guys do just makes me want a swap even more every time.

>
muhahahaha I have that keychain, so much for that theory.
I made some a few years back, never again.

I am flying you guys out when I am ready to do mine.
JDM guy ftmfbbqw

Dustin, here is the picture of my drivers side spacer that Carl @ Speed-Source milled:



(Sorry for cell phone pic. When i needed it, i could've cared less about taking a picture of it, haha.)

thanks Snap lookin good !

You car is officially an animal, congrats.

so this finally hit 6gc.net? lol

nice work.

sound clip of the motor with cutout open is required.
You might just take back the loudest exaust trophy from Derek's Supercharged is300... if it counts...the car techinically has an exaust on it...

so where is your 5's going?

i know someone that wants it (hint hint)

thanks for clearin that up bats... i had a brain fart lol.

and death! oh yeah us New Yorkers& east coasters love BBQ! cookouts are great to us!

>
I only vaguely remember Derek's exhaust but I think Shannon's 5SFTE dump tube is louder than Dustin's cutout... IMO anyway.. maybe Shannon's just sounds more violent and less directed

Unreal job guys. Fantastic work.

it look sooo clean. i love it.

props!


i hope to be swapin out engines like that no problem in the near future

Beautiful! Such an amazing transformation, I remember when you first got the car. Excellent work!

looks great!

and some info for others.
when I got the motor I needed to replace some things.

One of the first things I did was get some 3rd gen part #s from MR2OC
I then contacted my local toyota dealer, Jeff Watson from Toyotaworld, and kbox.ca for parts.
Toyotaworld was slow to get things ordered/shipped so many things I was able to get from my local dealer and from kbox.

I expected to replace many gaskets/o-rings ect (and did) to get the motor freshened up so having the full gasket set was very nice to have. All of the tune up and replacement parts I needed I was able to source from the places I listed and some used parts from some UK/overseas guys.

Also, I ordered the wire set from toyota (MR2 part#) and the coil wire was too short. I ended up using the coil wire from a cali spec US GT celica.

some tranny info

The 2000 e153 I bought from a junkyard (used parts dealer) locally and the MR2 turbo axles I was able to get used from MR2OC. The All-Trac axles I was able to get from another local 5th gen owner/member.

One funny thing about my tranny/axle combo was my driver's side axle popped out on the first test drive. After trying to get it to "pop" into the tranny we realized that my 2000 tranny was a bit different than the earlier ones that other members use. The space from the end of the axle to the snap ring was shorter in the tranny (I would assume) than the earlier e153s so I have to shave (machined) off the tip of my axle to make it fit properly.

here's a pic of the MR2 inner and a normal celica/alltrac inner side by side.



I had to make the top one (MR2) look like the bottom one (celica) so the snap ring would catch in the tranny. Since then, NO probs with the driver's side.

also, I had orderded a new nameplate ("T" 2000 twin entry turbo) for the IC, part # 11286-88480 and once the swap was finished it was the finishing touch putting that on

oh yea, read this site a few times over.

as i said before, good job to you and to the people that helped.. this is a good example of how swaps should be done.. i'm curious to know where exactly on the firewall you cut to fit the engine harness? did you use the same rubber grommet from the original harness on the firewall?

..also wld like to see some 5sfte vs 3rd gen 3sgte track videos...... or is that asking too much?..

Hi batman722, very impressed with the work you have done to your car. I'm in the UK and am putting a 3SGTE from a ST205 into a ST202 droptop - should be interesting.
Please tell me what you have done regarding the axle's. I too will be useing the same gearbox as you - E153.
What I want to know is as the output drives of the E153 gearbox is bigger than that of the S series box, did you just change the inner CV joints of the ST205 to the standard axles of the GT.
