old picture of what she looked like when i first got the car.


heres what she looks like. its a older picture from before the build. that tach is gone and replaced with a smaller one.



the back end. also a older picture. when i had my 2.5 inch exhaust.

Engine build threads are always welcome. PLease give us some details of the process WELCOME!

Why are you double intercooling?

>

In double cooling because you dont see it verry often. Aswell with this build. most people just swap to a 3s. Also water to air is better for low speeds and a front mount is better for high speed. The purpose of this car is to have a dragster and a road corse car.

I will post the build process when i get home.

hey sub, nice to see you again. Ive been following this build still and Im waiting for the finish =). Didnt you have to put the build on hold because you moved to Japan?
Anyway glad you joined and nice to see a 5sgte build! also is it now a 2.4L?

>

turns out im not moving to japan. alot of things happened and its a no go. so im working on the celica still.

oh okay. yea theres another 5sgte build and i refurred them to your build; itll be interesting to see how much power they both put down when finished. :-)

you wanted build pictures so heres what ive done.



initial removal of the old 5sfe.



some interrior shots while i was pulling everything. some minor parts were removed.



cheap sunpro mechanical gauges. i have upgraded to prosport electronic gauges sense then


pics of the 5s block coming out. block orginaly had 207,000 miles on it and showed. block was caked with dirt and road grime




5S camshaft removal



5s head removed. you can see the carbon deposits on the pistons. they were REALLY bad.


5s valves in the head. same condition as the pistons. exhaust side had some nasty carbon build up.



closer shot of the 5s piston.


5s crank in the block


bare 5s block.



block was vatted bored .20 over and honed by my local machinist shop.



and the build up.












test fitment of the turbo, manifold and down pipe. i will be replacing or moving the wastegate later to prevent boost creep





and the engine is in the car.






intercooler piping has been a BITCH to route in this thing. later down the road i am going to have the intake pipes welded together






while my interior isnt original anymore its gone through alot of development. im currently on my 2nd dash. and most of my car what i need to do is wiring. my old wire harness was beat up fuse box was melted due to a electrical fire. so i am in the process of installing a new one.


heres my dash.



general idea of the gauge cluster bezel.


my buddy over at seatbeltpads made me some custom 5sgte seatbelt pads.





thats all that i can think of at the moment. i will be redoing my head later on down the road with some hks cams bigger valves. port and polish, Nos and all that good stuff.

all that i have left right now is to run some plumbing and wiring.

Very curious to see what this thing puts out in the end. I don't know if I've seen a 5S with a 3S head in a Celica before. I've seen it done to MR2's.

same principle. a 5s block is a 5s block with the exception of what generations from what i've read the 90-91 revision of the 5s is optimum. the 92+ has issues with the water jackets not lining up. the head that i am using is a 2nd gen 3sgte

Yeah, I read that you have to mill them out or something to make them line up if you use one of the newer 5S blocks.

so a 3s head wont fit on a 95 5sfe block? Im new to the motorside of these things.

Konnichiwa friend what part of Japan are u going too? I wanna go back so bad. Check as many car shops n junk yards as possible when u get there. They r Celica heaven

I was suppose to goto kadena but my orders were canceled.


The newer 5s from what ive read dont have the same water jackets but nothing that some grinding cant take care of. A 90 to 91 block is optimum.

would there be any gains swapping the 3s head over with cams and port polish on a 5s untouched block for an N/A application?

you should notice a gain. im not sure how much but by port and polish and adding a bigger cam you def will notice it. theres alot of parts that you will need to swap over. like

head
intake manifold
3sge harness
3sge ecu
3sge fuel rail
3sge alternator bracket
3sge crank timing gear
3sge tensioner
3sge timing belt
3sge water neck
....etc

my recent addition to my build. i purchased some wolfkatz engineering fuel injector cups so i can mount my fuel rail and injectors and i finished up my radio bezel with gauge cluster

heres a shot of the gauge cluster in the bezel.

Kadena AFB in Okinawa? Lucky. I was at Camp Foster. Deff should hit up (3WayStunna) Thats where he is at off and on.
