Re: My Celica ST162 coupe [Engine arrived, New Shift bushes

a couple of pics guys! (some of you have already seen these on my Facebook, but for those of you who havent, enjoy!)
The engine has only done 70,000 kms. man what a gem.

new silicone hoses, etc. dont mind the oil pipe, its like that only until i can get a hold of a metal 90* elbow.

silicone hoses up close. as i said on FB, Thank you MTQ! this mob specializes in turbos. so brilliant guys to deal with, they have 12 stores around australia. and the hose between the intercooler and turbo is from autobarn. this engine is going to be sick as when its finally in. not long now. one last fine to pay off, and i can get stuck into buying what i need/ saving for what i need.

i need to get off the gearbox off ther motor, so when i do, ill take some pics for you, stig. and im planning on using my own gearbox. so, yea, im guessing that its compatible too. the starter motor looks the same as the one i have on there now. and thanks for letting me know about the loom rich has, i have brought it off of him, so that will be here soon enough.

 

Re: My Celica ST162 coupe [Engine arrived, New Shift bushes

look what came in the mail for me today!

My new water line(s) to replace the old bent crappy looking one. this one is flexible too, so i dont need to worry about any snapping of the line or high pressure hot coolant leaking out of small fatigue cracks in the pipe.

P.S: Stig, i have the later 3SFE, being a '89 model year car, it has the facelift FE in it. although, if i cant use it, then ill have to go with a hybrid clutch. if i can use it, then clutch wont be so much a problem. but speaking of clutches, there is a place that deals with clutches down the road from my old mans work, so i can pop by there when i have the time, and get pricings.

ok, thats no big deal then. ^_^ as for the hoses, i know where they go, just a matter of connecting them up.

 

Re: My Celica ST162 coupe [Engine arrived, New Shift bushes

Got my new loom from Rich (Alwayzsidewayz) today, and Stig, not exactly wishful thinking dude, i do have a full ST165 Dash loom too. so ill swap that over too, and its going to be cake. just not looking forward to pulling out the dash again

 

Re: My Celica ST162 coupe [Engine arrived, New Shift bushes

Changed over the dash loom yesterday, not so much of a painful job as I thought. Rewired in my radio to the new loom too. Now the interior loom is now ready to accept the new loom. And I installed the engine loom I got from rich. (thanks man!) Its all good now. Cannot wait till it goes in!

 

Re: My Celica ST162 coupe [Engine arrived, New Shift bushes

Sorry for not being online in ages, been kinda busy lately with other things. (a 400 dollar fine for a supposed "Flipping the bird" and tailgating, and Shop Class, sister issues, a mate moving out and me wanting a Nitro RC car.) when im finished faffing around, i am going to start working more on the 165 engine. i got quoted 180-ish for a full brake rebuild kit through my auto teacher, and 350 bucks for a full suspension bush and swaybar links and bushes. so, when im finished getting what i need for my RC car, i WILL start on the bushes, etc. then i will need to fork out $1800 for a radiator, i/c heat exchanger and pump set, and around 700 for Super Sticky Road-Legal Semi-Slicks. then, in goes the engine.

 

Re: My Celica ST162 coupe [Engine arrived, New Shift bushes

mafix, that not the rad on its own, thats a aftermarket heat exchanger, aftermarket I/C pump, and the rad itself all up.
