Finally got the engine back in the Celica. It runs great!! I'm pooped. Been going to work at 8AM and working 'till about 10 every night this week. Going to sleep in and take a vacation day Friday to button it all up. But it's running and I'm really happy!
Shiney!
Yummy!
Nice. It is always so nice to wrap up a project, or even a major phase of a project.
Huge relief having it running again. Thanks guys. Whew. So it's a 22RE. .040 over, 9 lb. flywheel, under drive pulleys, crank scraper, balanced, later straight upper intake, and header. Now that it's running, I'll start working on the 60mm throttle body and AFM conversion. Not sure how much power it will make since I have to run a stock cam and can't port the head. But just the really short test drive tonight, I could tell it definitely has more than it did before.
Man, been working my ass off this week to get it going again. I'm pooped. Off to bed.
WOO! Congrats!
Both my GTXes are in need of major engine overhauls. >< It's gonna be a busy summer.
Yay for combustion!
A buddy of mine finally got his turbo lebaron running again too.
A 22re with a 9lb flywheel? How does THAT feel?
