so i've talked to 6-7 mechanics. all they said its a 50/50 chance that I don't have to take off head to put time sert into spark plug hole. now just waiting. even the used coil plugs that i bought are starting to build the red ring about half way down the plug. so i have a total of 7 that work. i'll just have to choose which one looks best according to my sight.

Car has no issues motor is clean... It shouldn't be that hard to fix... This things still a baby
Nice ride man! Hope you'll be able to fix the problem soon and enjoy your ride!
My 7AFE to 4AGE 20V Blacktop conversion!
My right hub is done so I was forced to fit right side of superstrut only because i still couldn't find a used knuckle in time (new hubs are $115!!!) I'll need to take off the superstrut asap because one bushings on control arm is busted.
have no room to work on the car on my own. so im trusting a beams swapped mr2 guy who owns a shop in ontario, ca. bought a used beams head from mr220v. So i'm transferring cylinder head parts from my current head to the used one and then i'll be done in 2 weeks! Its been 72 days since i've driven the car...

Hope you do have luck with the car now and be able to drive it soon! 72 days since the last driving, that's really long! But that'll make you enjoy the first driving a lot again
My 7AFE to 4AGE 20V Blacktop conversion!
well decided not to go forth with superstrut cause i need to replace both figure 8's and one lower control arm.
finally the car is running again after 3 months.
instead of retapping and rethreading the spark plug hole. I bought a used beams redtop head from mr220v. a guy from mr2 board did the whole thing from start to finish for a good price as well. replaced power steering belt and oil pump gasket as well. Oh and i put toyota red coolant yum
the car idles great at 850 rpm. its running on synthetic blend for another 500 miles then i'll switch it out too synthetic again. although this took a junk outta my wallet at least i have a car again.

Did you or the other person inspect the block/cylinder walls for damage when the head came off?
As the tip is missing on that sparkplug of yours.

i trust the guy. he had to take off the cylinder head twice. and readjust a valve cause it was too tight. he's been in the car biz for at least 10 years. he took his time with it as he has a 91 mr2 with beams swap.
he told me he cleaned the tops of each cylinder head real well. i can tell my engine is smoother. i'll be putting in sythetic mobil 5w-30 in the next 2 weeks then i'll see how it holds up to the rebuild.

edit. i updated a pic above and changed some of my description in the post above.
Rusty, it should but I obviously don't have an oem cat. Maybe you can measure oem inner diameter on cat converter.

I came here for the weight reduction. Where is it at? Lol
Nice progress.
Too much work to do that sorry.
Whats the bolt hole spacing on both flanges?

it wont fit, those are catbacks, which means you will need the catalytic or in its absence the test pipe.
looks like you may get away with cutting the extra pipe welded to the magnaflow and then welding it in yours...
remember mine came with this, to adapt to the cat
but i decided to do this..

No man of course I know this. You've been following my thread so you know I'm already covering that part which is easy. Btw I'm missing one hanger that's why the muffler is a bit uneven.
When I test fitted it. I was told by Mr curren conversion that ill have to remove the right rear tire and angle it enought so it will bolt up. You guys don't think ill have to put this on a lift in order to install?

.
i did not with mine.. here is a pic of mine when it was out. i did not have to take a tire, of course i had to lift it with jackstands. taking the tire out would have made it easier
the shape of yours looks very similar to mine, except where the gaskets, you want me to take a picture of mine while it hangs there. mine directly dropped in...

yes i agree it does look easier but installing your i see is much easier okay well thanks for you insight. on a better note wow mr norbert you truly life saver. perfect 110mm center to center bolt spacing and can accomdate smaller or larger bolt spacing muhahha this is a turbo downpipe flange so it a bit thicker but works great!

>but in actuality i have 105mm bolt to bolt center spacing

anywho the exhaust is good stuff, it says I'm here, but I'm not really here. It sounds near stock at idle but at higher rpm there is no rasp which is great.
It doesn't growl like the Greddy SP2. One thing I like a lot is that it routes the same as oem piping, so great ground clearance.
Just a few issues, two gaskets are leaking, even though i tightened flanges as tight as i could, must be that i didn't scrape off any excess gasket material left from the old ones or that the flanges have slightly warped (unlikely). Once i sort that out i hope the exhaust deepens a bit more. i picked up some extra power as well
Also the exhaust tip is stuck right next to the tow hitch. When I give it WOT shifting into 2nd and 3rd it bangs off the hitch and makes huge clunking noise and going over bumps it makes nasty clunking noise. the exhaust is made for Curren's and Celica Coupe.
>
>>>taking a look at the rear reinforcement bar/crash bar on toyota websites >>>>:
although the part numbers are different between ST204/AT200 vs ST202. The length between the toe hitches are the same 60cm
Everything is identical on the exhaust system as far as length goes between 3SGE ACIS vs 3SGE VVT-I Redtop except the catalytic converter :
Regular 3S-GE Motor Catalytic Converter, part # 18450-74450
3S-GE Beams Catalytic Converter, part # 18450-77480

Would it be possible to flip the muffler? Visually it seems the tip would be better on the right side anyway. Must be loads of fun, that car.

ha no way the hangers wouldn't fit if it was like so. the the muffler section that connects to the pipe after that wouldn't connect

mine was alll bolt on, i wonder y u guys had a hard time. also, so ive been looking at mk3 supra turbo cats, looks like it wil fit with little to none modification.
