Toyspeed

I have TVIS on my 3S and its pulling 184kw+ at the wheels, so cant be that bad

My car has plenty of response down low still so im reluctant to remove it. Never tried it off

Go you good thing chickenman

Lookin promising

You have to bake carbon fibre in a special oven if memory serves me correct. Doesnt sound like a home type job

Redline MT-90 fluid is the answer

Way ahead of you

Yeah I run the ST-202 LSD box and its stood up to the pressure very well.
Only prob I had was after around 8 or so drag runs the box got a lil' crunchy. But i've stuck a cooler on it now and havent had any probs since.

Acctually i was under the impression that 4 point harnesses were leagal for street use as long as they used the quick release twist latch, rather than the more common lock latch?

Im sure I read that somewhere, or has that changed?

I thought the only thing the LTSA had against them, was that in ...

yeah the ct26 made no extra boost after bout 5900 anyway...but wen traction was an issue it used to bounce on the limiter if u werent quick enuf to change it.think i did it once just to see what it went to witness in car wuld attest to 7800...was getting scared wen it started approaching 8
Jools ...

The ST-182 GTR is quoted as 165hp, which i could quite believe

Well, just as speculation, i'd find it pretty damn odd if the BEAMS engine had different mounts to other 3S-GEs. Im pretty sure you'll find all Celica mounted 3S-GEs have the same mount points, reguardless of model

Yup, listen to Oizo, ST-185s dont have BOVs, and dont really need em.
Why? Because the AFM flapper acctually prevents compressor surge to a fair degree, it only opens inwards.
Plus if you do get a BOV, it will need to be a plumb back or %50 plumb back type, else statement #1 of the first question ...

FYI The Gen III 3S-GTE can be takin up to 8000rpm due to its shim under bucket design so i've read, but you wouldnt be making stuff all power up there without mucking with the cams i'm guessing.

gen 2 3sgte once again... red lined at 7...but wuld go all the way to 7800 b4 it hit limiter if u were silly enuf...... apparently they sposed to cut at 7200.... but mine had no speed cut either so go figure.ecu was stock coz i pulled it out and had a play with it too.

Same with my old factory ...

Its a hard one to pick, but im goin 4th stage aswell

Redline is GL5 as well, costs roughly $25 a litre

Should be tommo, dont know which type tho, more than likely viscous

But dont run LSD oil, as its designed for rear diff LSDs NOT gearboxes

Theres no "special" fluid, but you need a certin grade (which i dont know exactly)
I use Redline 70W80 Synthetic , nice n' smooth

Adrian, go see Quim at coolcars in Ponsonby.
Hes a good bloke, knows his stuff.
Hell, any guy who can work on the aircon system of a Mclaren F1 can do a supra

Tell him Julian the computer guy sent you

I think most if not all factory LSD toyota boxes are viscous?
All my stuff was secondhand aswell, fark paying new prices.
I think Toyotas Galore (think thats what they called) had a 202 LSD box recently, but they wanted $1200

I got the box cheap, but they usually go for about $1000
Dunno how much the shafts were, cant see them being expensive.
Same goes for getting them machined
Everything else is 182, cept maybe the clutch slave, which i think came with the box.
