Glad you're interested, here's an update. No pics yet, it's frickin' cold up here, I'll get out to the garage and snap some on the weekend....
Around here I have to play Santa, but I didn't forget myself. :) Got a 40" LCD TV, home theater system, and Toyota parts on order!
I've never heard of them here in Canada. I'd bet they're at least as good as Pacesetters anyway LOL, Pacesetter has a bad rep for quality of fit....
Well, I went out and dropped some cash this weekend. My pickup needs a new engine, the old one shows every sign that it's almost done. I want to...
I just made a purchase from engnbldr, their reputation is spotless among the Celica crowd. I wouldn't hesitate to try their cam.
Uhhh, that's about a continent or so away from me. :) I actually have a 350 in my garage already. It needs a rebuild, but it's a good 4 bolt...
Good advice. I ordered the RE parts. :) I want the truck to be solid and dependable, here's the plan- rebuild with stage 1 Crane cam, a header, a...
That looks great! It's on my wish list too.
Preturbo on my Celica I had a Raptor (cheap LOL) turbo muff, and a glasspack in the cat location, on 2" pipe. It sounded great and wasn't too...

Going stupid on this truck will mean having to sell a car or two. Then, I could find another vehicle for winter....you don't really want a 280hp...
Well guys, here's the thing.... The 22R in my truck is on the way out. It still runs well enough, but I've seen enough to know that it's days...
Not sure if I want to admit this.....but I run used W58s on my turbo car. (There, I said it :o ) The first one was the original from the car, with...
Do you have an engine in mind? If you have one and know it's in good shape, go for it. Have fun and learn from it. Don't ask too much of an old...
If you can find an RTE, and if it's not worn out, it would be easy. Good luck. :) Building a turbo RE with reasonable hp levels (~200) is not...
It's been a while, but I've built a few model cars. As my kids got older, I kinda went back to the full-size hobby. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Make that 3.... I'm 50. I'm from the muscle car era, and there's nothing I like better than spankin' one of them with a 'yota!:cool:
I had mine cut at a machine shop. They cut off the bulge on the rear, around the outer edge, and rebalanced it. DO NOT have it done unless you're...
My Celi has a lightened flywheel, about 14 lb. It revs quicker, but the idle is not quite as smooth as with the stocker. I noticed no difference...
Cool, How did you deal with the timing chain and piston issues? AFAIK the LASRE block and pistons would work with the early head, but without a...
