Ok, Below is a link to some pictures.
http://www.arach.net.au/~thehive/celica/index.htm
I had to remove the fan shroud, radiator and fan before I could get into the damn thing. The 3T-GTE only just fits into the engine bay 
I also noticed that the radiator is completely dead. Its got leaks and rust all through it. That will be the first thing I will replace. Does anyone know where to get new ones ??? or would a good condition second hand one be a better idea ?? Whats models can you use ?
There was a hell of a lot of oil and dirt buildup around the pully area and as you can see from the pictures, completely caked over the 3T symbol, so much that I had to wipe it off with my finger.
After putting the radiator and fan back in I found that the engine is running rough when I accelerate, once it hits above 2500 revs its ok, but its very strange, and it only did that before when I ran out of fuel (I just filled it up tonight). It also gets very hot very quickly, which I assume is the fault of the radiator.
Its all very strange. I really need to take it to a mechanic, but I've got very limited funds... so I'd like to do as much as possible myself, before resorting to that.
Any help would be really great ??
