Thats what I though.
So, electronically controlled, you can let more exhaust flow for more power?

Yep, basically you put it before anything ideally (cats, resonators, mufflers) to simulate an open downpipe.

You can also do it with a throttle body. My previous Celica had it done with a 60mm TB on 2.25" exhaust tubing. The difference is it's manual vs electronic. I plan on doing it again to my actual Celica, and it'll be manual again. There's no motor that can go bad that way.

This would only be beneficial to a Forced induction motor, correct?
Would that not cause a decrease in back pressure on a n/a, resulting in a loss of power? (if used in the exhaust)

Depends on the location and application. Think of it as an alternative, not an upgrade. Instead of getting a noisy exhaust, you can bypass your stock muffler with upgraded exhaust tubing up until the cutout, then scale down to stock for quietness.

In a Forced Induction setup you could use it as an exhaust bypass, which would mean better spool, for example.

Yall are silly. The real reason you spend hundreds of $s on exhaust cutouts if for the sound. The car goes from quiet like grandma's grocery getter to open headers racecar pitstop in a few seconds.

And backpressure on any engine is bad, its high velocity flow which is good for a N/A.

That's the only reason why it was on my previous Celica...

Go put 3" exhaust, from header back on your n/a, and let me know how that works out for you. laugh.gif

Backpressure is bad. NA engines need high velocity exhaust flow. Narrow piping generates more backpressure than wider piping, but it also speeds up the exhaust gas velocity.

So it's not really backpressure what you want, it's exhaust velocity.

Hotter air also flows faster, which is one of the reasons why things are thermal-wrapped and coated. They help keep the heat in which in turn speeds up exhaust gas velocity.

What backpressure means in an engine is that the exhaust gases are being restricted or prevented from exiting the combustion chamber. If backpressure was good, clogged cats wouldn't be bad, as they generate immense amouns of backpressure.

thanks! haha
so here is a couple updates. I got a ser of projectors and changed them to LHD, but the chrome housing was faded and decided to rechrome it but found out that there is only a couple places that chrome plastic. One of those places are located in California and cost around $150-200 per light so im looking at $300-400 to rechrome them. Then decided to spend $7 and paint them my self haha. i tried 3 different chrome paints and only one got a little close to chrome and this is the result.


not bad if you are saving almost $293-393 haha its not the OEM look that i wanted, but at leat they look better than the non-projectors headlights.
there are a couple mounting tabs that needs to fixed so as soon i fixt them and get a set of H1 HID bulbs ill mount them.

and got my w2a set up top mount, water pump with hoses and heat exchanger. i was trying to mount evrything on the engine but idk where the water pump mounts too..

and a new top mount decal for a new look

They're gonna make the car look different than everybody else's OEM chromed look. They look silver... so nice

Which paint worked the best on the headlights? Awesome car Btw, love that color white.

dupli color chromo paint was the best option

best pick of the year! a SUPER RARE c-one (style?) front lip. its made of fiber glass and doesnt has any c-one logo but the fitment is perfect. it fits like a glove.
I really like it! now it needs paint!

to answer that old question, the W2A intercooler pump goes under where your battery would be located...

Really? Cause I could have sworn that's where the overflow bottle is...
I thought the mounting spot for the W2A pump was on the passenger side by the windshield washer tank?

the overflow bottle goes mounted near the distributor on the gt4... and to get to water pump for the IC I found it pretty much behind the wheel well with the transmission fluid lines that go to the tranny fluid cooler...
