I guys just bought JORRS Celica good buy just need advice it has a stock exhaust and I think the flange under the heat shield is gone sounds like a tractor. I these hard to chage is it only one flange there or other ones. Any help greatly appreciated looking for extractors for the future though. Forgot it is a 89 St162 celica

Unless I can find some second hand extractors I dont want to spent money on new ones at this point so is there a quick fix I thought it is just a flange that is what it sounds like without taking the heatshield off.

Dude, ive got a set of extractors for sale, prob is they are for the earlier 162 so if you want to put your 02 sensor on it, you'll have to either lengthen the wires on it or cut and weld a bracket onto the lower pipe

200 plus postage

Yeah they do have different wires, but they should still be able to be lengthened right?i mean, wire is wire(well, diff thickness and resistance and shit but that shouldnt be too hard to find out form toyota right?)i went nad got a price today for new and they want $252 + GST

Ill look into it tomorrow i spose.And ill also double check the difference in the wiring.

Dude,

there are 2 circular flange gaskets from memory. Buy them from Toyota dealer.
Pretty easy to replace, remove heat shield, then 3 nuts hold pipe to manifold.

Might pay to get new nuts also as these do wear out.


DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON EXTRACTORS, they already have a 4-2-1 system on them.

haha ... how much r extractors these days atleast 200 bucks? in my eyes 200 dollars is beter spent on something else... for the performance u will get out of it... as i said b4 wen i had a set on my 3sge i couldnt even notice the difference besides the tone in the exhaust... buy a k&n panel filter put a zorst on it and drive it is wat id do

Also today went for first long drive after about 50-60km my idle went really rough although I am driving around at the moment with a exhaust flange problem but it still idled good until now. Then when it cooled down it was fine until a few kms and again rough idle. I am thinking 2 things 1 exhaust flange and escaping fumes slowly heating up under bonnet causing havoc to airflow meter or faulty airflow metre.

For me extractors weren't a performance item. I bought them because i felt that the engine needed to breathe better. They sound quite raspy and noisy up the top of the rpm. Mine cost $250 with installation (they were off a gen 2) and i think they are the best money u can spend in terms of modifications to the st162.
Personally hardly a waste. Spending an extra $200 on ICE is personally a waste, it all comes down to what your after.

I can tell you though that the celica will rev better and smoother with extractors.

If i could go back, i'd do extractors over 2.25" piping.
But i'm satisfied with both of them either way!

extractors dont really give u your moneys worth, They give you around 5kw if your lucky??? I know my set has not improved performance greatly, only slightly, and probably shifted the powerband thats about it....

As for the MZ20's im not a fan of the 7MGTE's, i have heard of their weak head gaskets. Also the old school supras weigh in at about 1500-1600kg so all that power is going no where. Plus the excess fuel costs, etc, etc... Confused .

The factory exhaust manifold on these cars is a cast iron, heavy as-your-mum, pile of poo!!! Yes its 4-2-1, but the length of the runners is all over the shop. Cylinders 1 & 2 have long runners, 3 & 4 have very short ones. The unequal pulse this must create isn't a very efficient design. Toyota must have realised this as Gen 2 onwards have equal length 4-2-1 piping (such as the set that TRD-162 has).

Yeah, 3S-GTEs aren't known for their head gasket retention either you know! The turbo Supra's aren't that slow, except when it gets twisty cause as you said, they weigh alot! (fat arse cars).

And an MZ20 is a Soarer isn't it? Not a Poopra?

And because the soarers came in MZ and GZ guise it was my only means of comparing the 7m to the 3s :D:D:D Very Happy

Almost got defected last night after work and buying petrol. Cop walked out of servo, looked at my car, came over and asked if pop-ups goes down! "yes" was my reply...he walks off back to his car, 30 seconds later comes back.....has a closer inspection!!!!
*insert thought bubbles* "shit!!"
so i stop pumping and open door to put down lights while he glances inside to see what lack of interior there was!! luckily it was night time and everything was colour matched to black!!
hmmmm......end of rant!!!

yeah...this cop had that mean look about him tho!!! with beard and hat...the works!!! I work at this servo so i know the story, but he came in and parked next to this WRX (highly modded) bought some petrol and moved over a few pumps where he parked the car! the WRX owners realised this and stayed in the store waiting until that cop left! I think the copper realised there were bigger fishes to catch rather than my comparably lame mods! the servo i work at has had a history of cars being defected, but i always thought it was funny, and it was, until mine came into speculation!

Have a look at the stock "headers" or really exhuast manifold:
http://moment.autodeist.com/headers.jpg
Now this is the gen 2:
http://moment.autodeist.com/jdmheaders.jpg

you can't possibly tell me that the stock gen 1 exhaust manifold is good for flow when compared to a stock gen 2 system.

I don't know how many kilowatts you expect to get for not doing any real form of engine modification. but 5kW over what is only a 100kW engine is still a 5% gain in engine efficiency which in my eyes is worth it.

if you want some more power, look into cams and a programmable ecu, they will give you the most power....

http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=msg&t h=66725

for a small reserch deposit of 30 bucks and around 300 for the finished item, this will be the BEST bang for buck by far in the n/a engine power. do not let this oppertunity pass you buy.

stop being stingy as 200 is NOT going to get you and increase of 30kW

Question: after everyones imput here guys Smile

Who's st162's still have the splash shields (black plastic covers under the motor)fitted to the car?

Some people do and some dont.reasons being:probably lost them over the years, damaged them, purposely left them off etc.

I've still got them on the car and i find myself always having to remove them in order to work on the car.Would having them off keep the engine bay temps down a bit aswell?

Cheers Smile

i stated 5kw as an optimistic statement. And no, i don't have dyno sheets, but i have seat on the pants feel dyno Laughing But when i installed my extractors i already had my exhaust done, being s/steel, with 2 1/4 inch pipes, with high flow cat and 5 inch tip....But 5kw is a big statement for extractors i admit that. Unless someone else has dyno sheets to prove.

All i can give you in terms of gains in performance, in real life situations is that before the high flow cat and extractors, i could not beat a mates pulsar n14 Q with SR20, mind you he is STOCK AS A ROCK. but after i could hold him off through all the gears, with his stock exhaust and modified air intake... Now with the jap spec its bye bye SR20 Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Also this is why modifying n/a's are a waste of money..i need myself a snail, and RWD for that matter....soarer here i come!

you say you didn't say anything about flow, but just by looking at the system, you can see that the exhuast flow will be alot better, which means the engine has to do alot less work to expel the exhaust gasses on the exhaust stroke and ultimately gives the engine more torque.

there is no real way to judge just how much power it will free up, unless you get a before and after on the same dyno... but u cannot tell how many kW you gain just by the "seat of the pants".

but because of the crappyness of the standard exhuast header, gains around the 5kW mark could very well be expected.

and to ask is 200 bucks worth around a 5kW gain, on a n/a motor, i believe it is... think about the people who spend money on pod filters and cannon mufflers, sometimes even over 200.

why cant we all just admit that the gen 1 3sge has its limits in terms of reliable power. Its nearly making the best possible power STANDARD. sure a i/h/e is gonna help, but only a little. You need to spend big money on cams, and internal work to get good RESPECTABLE POWER.

And as berad is trying to point out, all that money spent modifying the gen 1 could be put to use for an engine swap for a gen 2, 3 or even any of the GTE versions, which in turn would probably give you more power than a modded gen 1 will ever give you.

But each to there own. If you believe extractors are worth it, great, Ive purchased some myself and sure it FEELS better, but until anyone has dyno sheets to prove I'm with berad.

Lastly, the gen1 was never meant to be a horsepower hero, just a reliable gutsy performer, hey, at least we can beat the standard v6 falcadores Very Happy Cool

Ooohhhhh yeah! Best money I've ever spent!

Aust162 - Yep, they're there to protect the engine bay from water, dirt and other road crap as well as to smooth out the airflow under the car - fairly important on a FWD car. You'll notice the difference at high speeds.

BTW: When we gonna give the cars a run eyy?

About the exhaust systems, check out this thread that Matt started a while ago - there's heaps of good info on exhaust systems there. Came in handy before I chose my setup. Thanks mate.

To be honest, I'm one of the 'skeptics' when it comes to how much value you get out of the aftermarket exhausts.

There's plenty of more considerations to exhaust than just constant flow rate and up top power, there's harmonics in the exhaust tract - it's ability to get good scavenging in the cylinder, there's heat retention, there's vibration to consider - if you are a geek sometimes even things like emissions can be something on your wish list (like me).

You might notice a few hp gain at the top part of the rev range, but until you dyno the thing you can't tell what gains and advantages there are to the system. What good is power up top if you lose some down lower (not saying that this is usually the case tho).

the supra was in an ma70 I'm pretty sure as he claimed it to be a turbo-a, but he had electric dash, and no turbo-a stuff. Also if it helps, it is the model before the last supra that came out. I mean it wasn't slow.... its just that from a rolling start it took from like 80 - 140 for it to pull a car over me.

And at the next set of lights i pulled him pretty easily on take off, (he was auto), but i could see him reeling me in SLOWLY though. We pulled over after and he was quite surprised himself, after i told him it was still n/a.

I got 4's to fit into the 3" enclosure at the front so I suppose you could cram 5's into the rear ones?
