the 3sge is soo much better compared to the 4efte, i thought about it all wrong lol
i tried to put an engine from a lighter car into my car and expected similar results, that didnt work :giveup:
so i dropped an engine from a heavier car into mine and its soooo much better :lol:

i went through all the pics, did not see a celica....

there isnt one, i wrote in the title "Not a Gen 6 celica but has the heart of one"

wrong area for this thread. move to off topic.

that was ALOT of pictures to scroll through ha

haha sorry,
thanks for moving it

im liking what you did to the car!!

but 158 kmh in 3rd gear is real hard to believe. 3rd gear only hits up to 148 or so and that would be at redline. of course your tire size has a lot to do with it as well.

Nice work
I've been thinking it would be fun to stuff a v6 in one of these lol

>

thanks mate,
i just going off what the rsm said and the speed shown on there is quite accurate (checked against gps)
tyre size is 195/55/15

and iv hit the limiter in the box in 5th at around 150mph-ish (didn't have rsm when i did that)

>

thanks

i have been thinking about this.. maybe a 1mz from a rx300 and then alittle later down the line, strap a supercharger to it

I'm running a 1mz out of a 98 avalon in my celica
Seems to be a good combo with the s54 as long as I can stop breaking stuff
Damn leadfoot lol

haha nice. what kinda power are you running in it?

To be honest I'm not sure haven't had in one peace long enough to get it dynoed.
I know its enough to snap axles like butter tho lol

so you are using s54 box with oem shafts? and you are snapping axles?

Yep s54 non LSD
I've managed to snap the driver side by dumping the clutch at 2500-2600 rpm lol
An I busted my pass side axle mount. Then found out I had sludging problems an the 1st 1mz died
Got a fresh one now an been working on redoing my whole swap

sighh I remember when my 95 corolla looked half this good before a drunk fool with a 09 tundra just crashed into my car from behind. I admit I cried that night lol

>


wow now thats crazy, if your having problems in yours then id have to reinforce everything on mine if i ever did the swap.. and i also have a spare s54 box with an lsd in it..

>

thats so sad to here..

Which part? The car crash or me crying jeje

It's not as bad as it sounds. It's an amazing swap I was just bein alil rough on her to work the bugs. Out lol
If you drive it with a brain its actually very streetable.
Driving around town you don't relize the power is even there. But a quick stab of the throttle an age comes to life!
If you do deside to do it you might wanna look into a e153 trans instead.

lol i see what you mean, but im using a mr2 and st182 shafts on mine, dont know if they would fit a e153 box, but never know both mr2 ones may fit...

right car is back on the road after changing quite a number of things

new cambelt
new waterpump
2 cam seals
1 crank seal
new dizzy cap
new rotor arm
new coolant temp sensor
antifreeze

did compression test on it again and it was 10.5 bar across all 4.. need to do a good few services and see if i can get the compression to come back up abit

few more pics i took after i got it back, sooo hard keeping white wheels clean.. :pale:







really need to sort out and clean up engine bay wiring toooo, also maybe getting a custom strut bar made toooo







sorted out the brake line so that its not rubbing on cambelt cover



>

both

Need info... PM Please
