well, i took out my first loan ever. for the winter so i can finally start making some good numbers with the 3s.
so i already started preping the motor/tranny to come out. the harness is completly off and should be dropping the tranny wensday. i get to start ordering parts thursday (when my loan gets deposited, WOOT). and hopfully ill hit my goal of 350+whp by may. so i started this thread top post pictures of w/e random crap i decide to take pictures of while working on my car. hopefully i can get a few guest appearances from other members

the intercooler was cheap inexpensive. bar and plate from ebay, under 250. its 24x12x3. Ive already driven with it with its been installed for over a couple months, really noticed a gain.
5k loan :x ill post pics of the parts i ordered when they come in . i know your not bagging, its not easy or cheap getting over the 300whp hurtle.

haha traction ftl. ill address that after i feel what driving it is like. i was thinking of wider tires and checking where they WOULD hit. then make stops on the steering unit so my tires wouldnt hit but it would take a out a few feet maybe from pulling a U turn. you know? i dont make u turns often and im use to a trucks turning radius, ill just have to drive the celica like a truck... iunno lol.

Well, maybe the fuel stuff will be in tommorow. until then i started playing with the turbo and oil lines. still waiting on the return flange that bolts to holset. but i have the KO racing block oil supply adapter in with a -3an oil line and hte proper fittings to the holset.
i have the turbo mounted on the L bracket like that so i can measure the radius bend im gunna need to make the adapter. cool stuff.

lookin good, didnt catch that u were doing the oil cooler. very nice setup. did you look into the disc for the feed/return lines that only opens once oil has reached operating temps? just curious.

yeah i saw that. well thing is have been running oil cooler before this one. just it was less efficient. i had no problems getting the car to operating temps at all with it and the ct26. im thinking the added efficiency will kinda cancel out on the holset since its only oil cooled and you how hot turbos get lol. so thats something i can always add on if theres a problem but i dont think there will be any.


check out what i finally got in today. all thats left to purchase really is. everything else is either in the mail or i have hanging around here.
:int manifold
:aem ems unit
:cams
:springs

ive done alot of research on the two. at first i wanted nemesis. but after doing looking around. its really not up to me which one i get, its really up to the tuner. and there are ALOT more tuners for aem. even if they aren't specialized in the 3sgte they know how an internal combustion engine works. so really its for tuneability. aem supplies you with new version firmware u can download free at their site, where whatever version of nemesis you buy your basically stuck with it. aem has a forum where if u can figure something out you can get help. also with aem eventually i plan to play with it myself. and the software they supply ive been playing with at work and it pretty cool i like it.
they a both the same price with the same options pretty much. aem is like 200 more for the options i would have to pay extra to get with the nemesis. so they are really close in price.
