Ok in about a month i am planning on buying a JDM 3sgte - i wanna know a few things like:
which generation is the 225hp?
can i use an mr2 pressure plate, and is that the only thing im going to need as far as clutch goes?
Can i use the MR2 turbo Limited Slip?
Does anybody know where i can pick up a 3 gauge pod for a/f meter, boost meter etc.

There is a group buy right now on celica.net for a group by on a full pilar with 3 gauge pods. Here's a link to it

I'm not really sure where everything is at, I think they are waiting on final prices and all that good stuff.
Good luck with the engine.

They have a pillar somewhere, i've seen it on a Celica. Can anybody help me out with the other stuff?

you can get the full pillar from a supra or 95-99 eclipse. remember sand paper goes a long way.

sand paper and a hair dryer

you should get an st185 clip, the 90-93 JDM gt-four celica... that is the one with 225 HP. if you use an MR2 engine, you will have large headached, because the engine is set up a lot differently. and no, you can't use the LSD from the MR2, but TRD makes one for the celica GT, about 650.

good point


go to www.jarcoinc.com for the best prices on the st185

and any engine/clip for that matter.

Thanks - i gotta use the GT tranny so i dont wanna go over around 250hp - right now
225 plus the exhaust and whatever else is going to be added i should be fine - thanx fo the advice.
