Very nice sir. Looks like there is plenty room on space in the bay. Must be a pain in the ass to change the oil however.

drop a 4e and be done and tock the top mount. 


dont get me started with tercels and paseos. 

i kinda miss those forums.  the one on network54 and TO

[Lowerit]

paseopimp? lol

Looks sweet, what are you using to tune it?

[AstroVannin]

Its looks like theres less clearance then there really is for the oil filter.... its not bad at all.

4EFTE ? Nah.

As far as how much Im into it for ..... probably a little more then $500, but less then $1000 for sure.

For tuning, Ive got an AEM F/IC .... I traded a set of ROnals I had on my Accord for it (F/IC was new in the box) I think it should work pretty well.

[SloS13]

F/IC FTW

Rippers STAT

[92CXyD]

This is peeking my interest.  ;D

Vid and more comprehensive build thread would be great. ;D

I'm thinking of doing a Toyota build in the future and I'm thinking a 'rolla.  :yes: ;D

[AstroVannin]

Yeah, Ive gotta go out and get some tuning done.... vids will follow.

When it come apart in the winter Il make a better build thread per say.

My goal for this year is to get it all together and have it running before I park it for the winter. Over the winter I want to take it all back apart, rebuild the engine and send the turbo to Blaast ... as well as tidy up the engine bay.

Between the CB7 and offbeat Toyota fetishes... we need to drink, sir.

[AstroVannin]

Ah ha ha ha...

Il take that as a compliment.

also .... ygpm

[AstroVannin]

Ive been hanging onto this 3" crush bent system from my old car for a few years.... finally paid off.

The muffler is from a Magnaflow that has been sitting around in the garage for a bit now too.

Im planning to have the DP go straight into a 2.5" cherry bomb, then the 3" system, with the magnaflow at the back. Should be nice and quiet most of the time and still flow good.

[t_cel_t]

bitchin man, hope to have my 91 terc going soon. megasquirt and e85 is done, just need to tap the pan, make charge pipe, and down pipe.

[Teg2boo]

How much HP/torque can you expect with a Tercel build?

I have the exact same Motomaster battery, but mine leak acid everywhere....

[AstroVannin]

Ideally I would like to have 200/225whp ... but we will see how it goes.

[plymouth]

200 in that car has got to be funny.
