That is one mad ride! It must be imaculate to have had it for 10 years. One question though, why didn't you go for 3sgte rather than slapping a turbo on the 3sge, and by the way was that hard?

I know dropping the 3sgte in is the usuall way to go, but i think it was the fact that i had a low milage 3sge that was pristine, and decided to base a build round that.
It wasnt that hard to be honest just time consuming, but as it was the first ever done to my knowledge there was a lot of trial and error involved. And i dont have to say its a Gt2 lol

very nice celica you have there mate...u would throught 5th gen celica with 3s-ge inthem were called st182's cause of our st162 celica are that..yeah the 2 at the end was usally stand for a 3s-ge and like jap spec st202....yeah anyways...VERY nice celica there again.!
I'd still call it a gt-2 but yeah i get where u coming from.
So yeah the v6 camry box fits stright up? do teh st18x cv's fit stright into the v6 box? and all the same mounts and shit?
also u got a t3-t4e...why didn't you aim the turbo compresor down so the piping would be easier and shorter and less prone to heat?
once again very nice celica!

No we had to go for the usuall half shalft combination. Yeah the turbo has to be clocked but its something i never got round to doing....to many other projects on the go
