I'm still jealous. Lol.

well save your $$$ and join the club

I will smaay. Its next on my list. Lol. Now in debating on bailing on the front conversion and do the v6 swap first. My uncle talked some sense into me that my engine will go out first before the body paint will fade. My engine is at 215k miles. So now he has me second thinking everything. The amount of money I spend on the body paint is will be close to a v6 swap cost. Lol. Then again I want to wait until my next smog to do the v6 swap. So ill have the 2 year gap to BAR it. Next year will be my smog year. So either next year or 2017. -_-

How did you know I was actually thinking of getting a new radiator next but first thing first and finish paying the mad scientist (smaay)

yes its better to pass a SMOG with your old engine that way you have a good window to get to the BAR. this is a good time you can be sourcing the parts you need.

I'm in the middle of a 1MZFE swap as well and here is what I picked up from eBay for $90 shipped:



I'm having the lower outlet moved to the left where the normal ST location would be located, and the top filler cap removed and welded so there is only one filler cap/overflow spout for $35 at my local welders.

thats a good idea, your harness is on the way.

Be advised these radiators may come with the posts in the wrong position, causing the fans to not fit. On top of that, you will most likely need to trim them down for the fan shrouds to sit down on the radiator, and I'd recommend getting some foam to seal off the sides of the shroud against the rad.

I have one of those, and it's good. I didn't see much difference from the OEM one I had, in general.

It appears the fin density isn't enough and the full aluminum construction makes it absorb radiating heat a lot more than the plastic-tanked OEM one. I am turbo'd though.

Or swap to aftermarket slim line fans

what is the pressure of that fuel regulator, and do you have a part number, Im looking to find a regulator with 45 psi

thats about what this one is. its 45-50 psi. its the stock regulator out of a 97 camry.

If you dont need inspections, then you could do what I did on my car is convert it to return. I tapped the ends of the rail for -6 and made my rails return style and used the factory fuel lines.

Is it on the rail?

Originally

its in the tank

ok here is how the vacuum hoses get routed for the charcoal canister to avoid a CEL

this hose here goes to the center nipple on the vacuum canister



The outer hose on the canister here goes to this hardline on the VSV rack



this larger hard line goes to a T and one end goes the charcoal canister, and the other one goes to the vapor pressure sensor.

Sorry guys I haven't posted new pictures yet but I was a little busy with my mma fight and I'm expecting a new born baby so I've been a little busy however I was taking the back seats out to have extra space in the back to make a custom space for maybe camping equipment and what not but since my girl is pregnant and hopefully no twins but if that's what we get them I'm blessed anyways if it's a boy or a girl I'm going to take out one back seat and customized one part of the car for the baby stuff like you know diaper bag and baby stroller and also for my fishing equipment, camping equipment and or gym bag so I'm going to try and keep one seat for the baby seat mostlikely the one behind me and the rest of the car will be for storage and stuff or maybe I'll keep the one behind the passengers seat not sure quiet yet but working on it. I did install a few new things like new sound system and new interior pieces also fixed a leak on custom sunroof the car had but now it's not a sunroof its just a piece of glass on top fully sealed and I have new interior and hoping to get a paint job before December ends ones the paint job is done I'll post more pictures and upload a few videos to facebook about the car and the performance and stuff like that.

I'm out my girl wants cookies and chocolate milk and a fish soup lol what? Ttyl guys

Trust me leave the baby seat behind the passenger
you be on top of the steering wheel if not. Atleast till the baby's in a forward facing carseat

what about passing the BAR?? did that happen?

>


Yup I will be doing that Kurt. Thank you.

Can't wait to see the blue and black sparco seats with the blue sparco baby seat lol

>


Didn't go yet I'm just fixing up and installing a few other little things before I forget it. Plus Im a but broke at the moment but as soon as its done I will update you guys. I'm just nervous and been lagging it oh jeez.

Hey guys so I've been driving my celica now for about a week or two at the most however my check engine light came on at it gave me error code P0135 I guess it has to do with the oxygen sensors so I replaced both top oxygen sensors and after replacing them, the car did find for a 30 minute drive but ones I got in again to drive it the check engine light came back on. The weird part is that I did install new oxygen sensors and so I'm not sure what's wrong maybe there is an exhaust leak I'm assuming but we're can it be? Also how do I check or test for my car exhaust le
Please guys help. I really would like now how to resolve my problem

P0135 is heater circuit malfunction. wierd that it came on after all this time. i drove the piss out of the car with no codes.

look on youtube for videos on how to troubleshoot it. eric the car guy has a good video on them. if you cant figure it out, bring it by and ill take a look at it

One of the O2 sensors had no resistance and i was thinking that to be the problem however after going to carquest and getting it exchanged it still showed the engine light. I did reset the ecu but even then nothing happened the check engine light still on. My next steps will be to remove both O2 sensors and take them back to carquest amd have them order the OEM ones Denso i believe they are, much more expensive but i think thats the problem since my 7afe gave me the same problem when i installed a cheap O2 sensor on it. By the way the brand of the O2 sensors i purchased are red line.

Oh yea one more thing smaay if that dont fix it i can come over this week coming up and we can also discuss the sell pf the 7afe motor you removed frm my car i have a buyer here in bakersfield CA. Let me knpw what you think?

P.s car is fast, fasy, fast fun to drive it takes lots of cars frpm chevy Silverado to Chrysler 300, Mazda's and of course Honda's lol its beautiful

Yes you need OEM sensors, dont get cheap knock off's.

I got the OEM sensor's and will be installing them ones I install the new upgraded front and rear motor Mount inserts I got them from BRD Brooks Racing. I've also been thinking of making it a rear wheel drive V6 I know I'll have to spend another 6K but I'm willing to do that. I should have the money for that pretty soon. I'm back

I'm not sure if you remember smaay but the rear manifold oxygen sensor keeps hitting the axle and that's what cause's my check engine light to come up. So I've been driving it with the light on. Ones I install the new motor mount inserts I'll let you know what happens are you OK with taking on a rear wheel conversion? Lol I shall be able to do that soon of course car needs to be bard first lol so let me get that out the way and then we can jump on to that? This car is my baby and by the time I'm done with it its probably going to be a classic lol

Nice car man I'm glad smaay can help you good work you guys! You are inspiring many!

Smaay, Do you need the manual ex manifold for the swap in a GT? I was reading the swap tread of bnr32celica, Man is he just a dumb ass or does this project take 60 days to complete? Also should the brakes be upgraded for this swap?
