looks good. Good luck with the oil pan not leaking. I had two shops fight with it to stop leaking. Finally had a custom gasket made and fitted to the car.

[Soon2beriding]

Yea my friend apllied alot of gasket maker ,,about 5-6 mm thick

Ill be curious to see if something is gonna leak

Wicked! well done on your install! Make sure you post some vids!

[blinding-gts]

Looks good, now for the fun part, tuning it. :)

[Soon2beriding]

thanks...It was hard work..still not finish

[carboncelicagt]

i cant believe you wear such nice shoes while working on your car... I got the c2 kit over 5 years ago, and looking through your pics i know exactly what your going each step of the way. What a god damn bitch this car is to work on haha.

[Soon2beriding]

i just hate the axel ...have to removed the damn thing for everything...removed it to put the turbo in...put it back in..then we noticed that the exhaust doesnt fit....so im gonna to unscrew the axel...again

[Mido]

Best of luck buddy :)

[zzt23-]

Twp things you might want to address,

1. Your placement of the return line fitting probably isn't the best location, I've seen a car at the track that had it placed in the same location have the hose bust open when his tire blew out. I'd probably have that fitting in the back of the pan a few inches above the drain plug location. (Turbo 2zz for 4 years so I know a lil summin ;) )

2. In the same pic, seems like you're developing a leak from your water pump, might want to check it out.

Good luck with the install and happy boosting.

Thanks....Damn your the second guy that tells me that now...im starting to worry...never saw any puddles ender my car of coolant so thats weird

[GT211]

The oil line is fine. It's been through a lot of hard track days.
After installing the manifold make sure to zip-tie the oil lines away; I forgot, and ended up on the side of the road once the oil pump seized.

[Soon2beriding]

yep i noticed that some line will for sure need to be zip tied

[Soon2beriding]

getting the full 3" exhaust put on next week or in 2 weeks

im sure some guy here will happy to get is TRD exhaust :)

[.2002SilverGT]

hopefully you didnt put too much gasket sealer on, ive heard horror stories about to much sealer and it mixing with the oil on the inside and completely blocks the oil pick up

[miswhite]

that is very true. i was putting a 396 bbc together and wasnt carefull and did that. its a really good way to refreshen up a motor lol. its good to use the sealent but not good to over do it lol

[GT211]

Do you want my old turbo muffler? Apexi-Turbo N1 - $20 plus shipping.

[Soon2beriding]

^^ hmmmmm can you send me pics of it
depends on what state it's in
the guy wants to sell me an dynomax turbo muffler never heard of the sound
and it looks like they only make rectangular mufflers wich i don't know how the hell there
gonna make it fit...

[GT211]

It's actually sitting in my living room taking up space. I'll track down a picture.

[xxtruchogtsxx]

yes he will, yes he will :D

The water pump has a "weep hole" that indicates when the pump is beginning to leak. You get that red/pink crusty stuff developing at the weep hole (just as in your pic) At this point, it won't drip on your driveway, but is a sign that you should consider changing it soon.

interesting .......

what cause it to do that?

also is it easy to change ?

if im still on extended warranty from toyota will they cover this even if im now turbo????

[Soon2beriding]

Today i got the car towed the to shop that will do my 3" exhaust

Here she is waiting her turn

Nothing causes it. It's just a sign of the pump wearing out. The internal seal isn't sealing anymore.

Any water pump that has that red/crusty stuff would be changed under warranty if covered....dunno about the turbo being involved though, never encountered that while i was working for toyota :)

[Soon2beriding]

then it's not the pump its the seal???
what can go wrong on a water pump ?

[kamikazi26]

dude..Moving parts = wearing parts. :) When the water pump leaks, it get's replaced. It's not a leaking gasket, it's internal to the water pump.

[Soon2beriding]

ohh ok ...

dumb question but the crusty waterpump buildup leaks are going to be the same color as my coolant, correct? I ask because I long ago switched off that pink stuff to standard green and i've got a lot of miles on my original pump. I've never noticed any of that buildup yet.

[vegeta4ss]

my axle nuts are totally different from yours Soon2beriding. Mine were 6 sided with a gold finish. weird.

[Soon2beriding]

^^^really wow thats weird

You might as well get it checked out while you have everything apart. Last thing you want to do is remove everything for something you were already aware of....

[GT211]

Any updates? Who's doing the tuning?

[Soon2beriding]

gt211 i pmed you..have some new pics in the reader rides

[00GTShope]

is it up and running now? all tuned?

[x_ploit_x]

Where in ottawa has a dyno?

[Soon2beriding]

^^^nope getting clutch & flywheel installed wednesday and tune hopefully the week after that

[ymboc]

Who's tuning your car? (in the Ottawa-Gatineau area?)... are there a lot of places that cater to this kind of stuff in our neck of the woods?

I know my mechanic has a dyno-looking 'thing'... but it's for the emissions testing and I don't know what it's capabilities are (and I didn't want to seem like an idiot asking)...

[Soon2beriding]

im going @ a place in hull on freeman road its called campeau

apparently there good for what friends telle me

they have a mustang dyno

[00GTShope]

good luck. I went to Tapp Auto off of Merivale and then took a Japanese guy in Toronto who was apprently a Celica/PowerFC expert. They both were a total waste of hundreds of dollars each. Both of them tuned it too lean etc so I had severe knock problems. Tapp Auto looked much more into Volkswagen and Honda. I would not take my Celica to anyone who hasn't tuned a Celica before. I guess it is worse that mine is a GT-S also.

I ended up taking it to Monkey Wrench Racing in Detroit for the weekend where he installed my 3" stainless exhaust, a wideband gauge and tuned it. Perfect tune and very professional guy. Well worth the drive!

Good luck. I hope yours gets tuned well!

[Soon2beriding]

i wish i can do what you did gtshope but i have to get a wot tune so i can run the car...
right now im on a base map from mwr which i can go higher then 2000rpm's whitout a tune

[blinding-gts]

a Japanese guy in Toronto who was apprently a Celica/PowerFC expert.
You must be talking about Yoshio. He's better for Subaru and tends to cost and arm and a leg to do installs. That's why I learned what I could from here and tuned my own car. I had help with the learning curve from Jesse and the stickys.

[00GTShope]

^^^ yeah it was yoshio @ Japanese Automotive. Total waste of about $700. brought it in knocking and it was knocking with less hp when I picked it up and he still charged me!

I figured since he drives a Celica with a PowerFC installed in it that he could do it right.

I am a fairly mechanically inclined person but I don't know if I trust myself to tune my car after putting so much $$$$ into it.

Good luck Soon2beriding

Coming out to the meet at the Aviation Museum parking lot this Sunday at 1:00PM? It started out as a genvibe meet, then got some more interest on 9thgencorolla and a couple from Matrixowners coming out too. Would love to see the turbo celica and Arron's fairlady. Oh, and find 00gtshope (steve) and talk him into coming too.

[.2002SilverGT]

& how do u like it so far?

i like it alot...

10.5 psi is alot but my horsepower is low so its not a very big load on the engine
