As of June 12, 2005
An update of sorts, not entirely dailup safe (pics are mosly 1024 pix wide).
original info about the car: <http://members.optushome.com.au/mkhala/red_celica/ >
Nearly 12 months after the red-hot-turbo-and-manifold incident i got the car back into the garage, removed the overcooked bits and started to round up the bits needed to get it going:
Exotic exhausts newly fabricated manifold and dump (i had this done about 7 months ago).
Bigworms old turbo (ex RB20 ball-bearing job to boot!) which has been waiting for me to do something with finally got attached to a motor.
Some of the hardware for running efi:
- manifold-to-head faces
- intake manifold (before minor mods made)
- Megasquirt ECU tested and ready to run
Pics from a test fitting into engine bay (sunday 12 June).
- turbo to intake clearance
- turbo to strut-tower clearance
- close-up of piping pfeeding collector
Shows that:
- i need to make new mount for the dashpot that drives the wastegate
- i need to modify the heatshield as i can't get to all the bolts
- clocking the turbo is no major drama except for wastgate actuator
- i have to mod the fuel rail for different fuel entry and exit connectors plus the injectors don't seat correctly.
