i think well let you handle that. my inputs are "bigger pistons","beefier rods", "bigger cams", basically the whole "MORE POWAAAA" things.

Few more pics from Bobby's swap. No particular order here because there are so many, but enjoy. It's amazing what you can get done in a day without an engine hoist!

thanks for posting the pics! Cant wait to tear it apart!

just gotta think back a couple hundred, maybe a couple thousand years ago. how do you think people back then did motor swaps?!

I get the distinct feeling since there was no lift, there was a plethora of cussing. Even with a lift there's bound to be cussing.

Haha loving the..."man" power over hydraulic lifting platforms!

not as much swearing as youd think. it was a pain with the 4 of us. thankfully bobbys brother and friends helped move the shell and get the motor up on the stand

You guys realize you could have called me....and I have an engine picker.

When is your next weekend off??? You're always working dude??????

Haha, sort of. I work M-F. I'm just always on call, but I can handle most things from anywhere, especially if there's wireless access.

Should be getting together again this Sunday. You should come down for the tear down!

^ x2

missed yet another celica meet. Im disappointed in myself that i have yet to show my face at these meets. I owe it to you guys to be there but in the end, working is going to get the 3s in the car. Not trying to avoid you guys and hope you can understand i cant miss work so i can get this swap done quick. Well im done sucking up to you bastads lol but Should actually have sunday off so lets get this thing torn to pieces so i can start painting the block and get the hard part over. Intercooler should be here in a couple weeks. Major things i still need to do are......

source a E153 Transmission, Axles, clutch kit and Wiring harness converted. Also Ben has extra piping so hopefully i can get the exhaust planned out soon.

Ordering, Bearings, Pistons, Rods and Studs From realstreetperformance.com Within two weeks as well as visiting the machine shop
Full Gasket set, timing and water pump.
Water Meth Injection, Three Pod Guages, Turbo timer, Fuel Pump.
Berk Downpipe
Possibly a nicer radiotor like a KOYO.
Would Love to Dynamat the whole inside but haven't done the research quite yet
Member on here is trading me his Precision Front Mount, including an ebay BOV (but will probably upgrade that) and all the intercooler piping already measured up and ready to go For my Top Mount.

Let me Know what im missing guys. Im tired as hell from a long day at work but felt like rambling lol. Seriously would love to hear you guys chime in and tell me what you think. I know I know i like hearing myself type.

Turbo timer= waste of money!

kitchen timer for a car? comeon now. were all smarter then that.

>

see i didnt know that! right on

>


so no kitchen timer? fine ill take that back

>


haha, i refer to turbo timers as kitchen timers. something that can be useful but never needed. they are used to allow the engine to run at idle to allow the oil to cool the turbo, thus reducing wear on it. Not needed as long as your not beating the living crap out of it and then just shutting it off. simply driving like a human being for the last mile or so till you park does the trick. though i know when this swap is done that will be the last thing on your mind.

Time to rip that bad boy apart!

you guys are doing workk on this thing atta boy! cant wait to see the motor after the machine shop!

side note.. try taking the hood off next time, it may have been a little eaiser to work with

cars coming along great man, glad to see another new east coast team in the making!

Just a couple pics from today's debacle. Got a lot done. Motor completely torn down and ready for machining. All of the accessories out of the clip, and a torn out chassis harness.

yeaaaa buddy.

Ben and alex made it look too easy. Great guys to have on your side thats for sure. Also finally drove Ben's car. Wasn't What i was expecting...Fast is one thing. But this is scary. Even in 5th gear it pulls like a rocket ship. I CANT WAIT.

boost is addictinggg! you guys work quick keep it up!

Soon youll be having that feeling everyday. Now the long waiting for parts and machining begins. Hopefully my parts come in soon so we have something to do on sundays. And just a reminder, dont allow me on the mini bike again...

haha i told you so alex, guess you had to learn for yourself ....Hopefully your parts come cuz it'll probably be a few weeks for me..

Internals just got here
Received my tune up parts last week( full gasket set, timing stuff, etc.)
Machine shop next week and then back to the fun!

About time.... been waiting too long for this

Yea I know, hope you guys don't bail on me lol

Yep. Your stuck with that puzzle buddy. Kidding. We told you. In it till its running like it did from the factory.
