piping choices = horse for courses.

silicon: DIY easy to use, resilant to heat soak, and flexible for routing purposes. iirc 3 ply Samco is pressure tested to 3 bar. For me it was the ideal medium for my 1st steps into developing a fmic instal almost 4 years ago. Now i can enjoy the benefit of seeing everyone elses efforts and developements.

downside is it will flex under high boost applications and uses the dreaded hose joiners which interupt flow.
...and also it ain't cheap.

unfortunately neither is this:

Here is a pic of my st205 motor in my 89 mr2. I'm a huge fan of the gen3 motors. Love the power and the detail changes compared to the gen2.

I Would like get an st205 as a daily driver as soon as they are legal to drive in Canada ( in about 2 years, when a 94 will be 15 years old).

I don't remember all of them because it's been a while since i've had the car.

St165 engine
ARP head studs
SDS engine management
GM coil pack
GM 3 bar MAP sensor
255 Lph fuel pump
custom t3/t4 turbo kit
tial wastegate
greddy profec-b spec 1 boost controller
greddy type s bov
1wire O2 sensor
that's all i can remember off the top of my head. We thought up the turbo design because the intake temperatures would get so hot when the pipes run over the exhaust manifold or by the downpipe. It runs a shorter belt for the alternator because the alternator got in the way of the intake amd compressor housing.

old picture of the orginal setup

intercooler

my $325 hotness but i plan on getting another celica after i'm finished building my corolla.

Here's my updated one, it's all cleaned, and ready for some touch up paint and an engine!

This is a before engine, after engine, and with new FMIC installed.

Thanks,

Chris
