That is some hot shizz....did a shop do all the work or did you do all that yourself? Either way, let us know how everything goes and nice work. >>

excellent....I dream of having one of those one day

WHY CAN'T THAT BE MY CAR DANG IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NOT FAIR!!!

>>

LOL, mad sick props on the swap man! Looks hella good!!!!!

I'll trade you!

definetly mechanic, my mechanic is the god of the 3sgte swap... he has done it in every gen celica including the new celica, imagine a 7th gen celica with 3sgte running 540 to the wheels.... it cost me 9k for everything... $2k labor $6.7k parts. $300 for 3 hours of dyno tunning. FYI: my intercooler core came from one of the evos used in 2 fast 2 furious. They had 5 evos. Mine came frome the one that they used to bust threw the gates to get the cigar from the ferrari. if you pause the movie you can see that it wreked it's front pumper... he took the intercooler, cut off the broken part and used it to make my core... he wrote abou it... check it out
Custom Intercooler building tech article.

i reccomend you post it on the site.... since it is for a 6th gen celica.

my mod list is in my profile .... but here it is again

1. 3rd generation 3sgte Engine and Tranny from a mr2 turbo.
2. Custom Front mount intercooler
3. Greddy Profac B Spec II Electronic Boost controoler.
4. Greddy Full Auto Turbo Timer
5. SDS EFI 4f Coil system with backlit display.
6. Custom 3" Exhaust system with Magnaflow Performance Tip.
7. HKS Super Sequntail Blow off Valve.
8. Haulmeter's Digitail Air/Fuel Gauge
9. Wallbro Supra Fuel Pump
10. Unorthodox Racing underdrive Pulley

so far, i beat a 3000gt LS, Turboed Prelude at stock boost, which is 9.8 PSI... 250hp to the wheels.... my mechanic beat a corvette at 18psi... 295 to the wheels. ive only had it for 4 days...

funniest **** thou.... this 240sx came up from behind me wanting to race like a mofo, i catch up: he hears the BOV, and goes "Sorry, sorry... didnt know it was turbo"

by the way, there is a wastegate or boostcontroller problem, we cant turn the boostup past 18psi, but once we do, we should get some more power out of it.

That is awesome. How long did the swap take, just to get the engine working in your car? I might have to drive down to FL for it if the guy is that good.

Woooow.....i have to post again just cuz this is such an incredibly well done swap... >>

So who is your mechanic?? Is it a tuning company with a site or just somebody you know? Give us some more info in case i get the money sometime down the road to do this. >>
Hmmm...i could stay with family down in Florida for a while, get everything swapped in and drive back home a very happy person....or just stay in florida where the weather is warm all the time to enjoy such an amazing engine...lol

Sorry, im thinking aloud.

Excellent work.

DAMN MINA!!!

Looks like i'm going to have to make the 6 hour trip to jamasco this summer. That is insane. Congrats.

Honestly! I'm in alabama which is like There, you know? Who is the guy, and are swaps all he does?

OK... the shop is called JAMASCO auto repair... they do everything: from oil changes to turboing celicas ..... you can see some of his work HERE (2001 Celica with 3sgte) the guy you need to talk to is Jayson. it took 5 weeks, but they were understaffed for 2 weeks. Its a family shop, run by 3 brothers : Jayson, Marc, and Scot: thats where the name JA MA SCO comes from. i got the engine from thier uncle >>. you can see how clean the installation is.. they had a 5th gen thats been swaped for 3 years and is still running fine: it was there getting a turbo upgrade. if you need any more info , just call them: 9549859958. they have also worked on 2fast 2 furious. when it comes to this swap: i reccomend you go with the MR2 engine and tranny... 2nd gen 3sgte is both cheaper and easier...also, you should get a front mount intercooler, and iam pretty sure dyno tunning is mandatory. it should be a nice 5500 including all the above...if you guys need anymore info, just tell me... or go to newcelica.org forum: he posts there allot.

also: i just beat a 350z and a Sentra SER tonight >> the SER was a friend of mine that beat me when my car was ST.... He was nice enough to rematch , even thou there was no way in hell he was gonna win.

Looks like they do very nice work. I'm ususally pretty critical of the workmanship in swaps but that is very nice. Did your tranny come with a limited slip? Does it even matter when the boost hits in first gear? >>

thanks... all mr2 trannys come with LSD, boost hits early i think in first gear... i plan on buying the remote switch for the boost controller, this way i can start out with normal boost, then halfway threw races switch to higher boost with ease.

That is really great information, congrats on the beast;)

I was destroyed by a SRT-4 today, so I am feeling a bit low. It's nice to hear about a celica winning!

Edit: I heard the 3rd gen engine had clearance problems with the stock hood, did you have any problems?

I've been leaning towards the turbo 7afe but after seeing how clean and awesome that looks, it makes me change my mind agian, wow what a car

3rd gen fit fine.... i was afraid it wont fit: but it fit fine. maybe with the top mount you might have trouble... but i dought it.

also: add a G35 to cars ive beaten....
