Reason I've been away for a while..

I haven't posted any kill stories in a while.. I've decided to de-mote my GT-S to daily driver only.. I'm finished modding it. I am however going to hit the dyno so I can get my 13sec slip.. but then I'm done lol. I am now working on my new project... so the gt-s is now the non-racing daily driver lol.

A couple weeks ago I drove to arkansas to pick up my new toy. A 1992 Celica turbo All-trac.






Everything is in great shape except for the engine.. when I bought it I was told that it had blown a head gasket and the head was probably cracked/warped. So I knew I had my work cut out for me. Here's what it looked like when we pulled the head off:











Hmmm.. so I had some extra cash so I decided to have a little fun. Time for more toys. I picked up a rebuilt head with 0 miles. I also picked up a built 3S-GTE shortblock with forged internals.. also 0 miles. It is bored .040 over and cross-hatched, weisco pistons dished - 6cc 9:1 compression, Eagle H-beam rods, King bearings (main, rod, and thrust), Machined and polished crankshaft.








I still haven't decided on what turbo to go with.. it's going to be a big one as I'm looking to push around 500hp. Right now we have the engine and tranny dropped out so it's just sitting there with an empty engine bay. I have a lot of other little things to replace that were rusted.. like coolant lines etc. I'll update when the project gets moving more .

that's going to be one sweet lil car.

That's going to be a total sleeper. Why don't you go with a T78 turbo?

[TheStang00]

badass, i must say your new block looks slightly better than the old one.

heh its not even close to big enough... but if u wanna T3 garret i have one lol

[GForce957]

awesome, I've only seen that car around here a few times, and with 500 hp, that will be bad ass

Good to see that the new motor is much better looking than the last one. Can't wait to see it on the road.

[Igovert500]
