Blokker (Thomas) and his T23

It is an easy swap. A Toyota garage could do it in 2,5 days (but then you don't have a cleaned and waxed engine bay and al the extra stuf as new bolts, etc.).
You only have to buy a wrecked T-sport somewhere

Tallights are from www.ledmod.com

 

I see

Thank you!

 

great and what about the speedometer? Just pluked the T-Sport one on the wires and everything was fine?
That would be too great


Ich sehs schon kommen, Schrott-TS werden bald sehr hoch gehandelt

 

Yes, just took the T-sport speedometer, plugged on the wires and everything was fine.
I didn't have to do any electrical stuff

 

unbelievable.

the main reason why nobody of us did a swap was that we were affraid to change something with the electricity.

 

right borsti
nice to hear that there isnt a problem about the wiring...
maybe i will try it too after the "normal" mods

 

damn, great work....

could you made a short video about this include a little run und put it into youtube...?

 

but where to buy a speedometer from a the TS-Version....
maybe a nice LCD-Display...

 

The best way is to buy a crashed TS with a running engine. Speedometer incl.

 

Perhaps this is an alternative?

 

Rear suspension parts coated

As many of you know I've swapped my 1ZZ for a 2ZZ engine from a wrecked T-sport I bought. After reading Dan's (hombredelassrta) post from Newcelica.org about powdercoating his rear suspension I got the idea to do the same!
I think Dan's car inspires us all with his über modded celica!

So I took the rear suspension parts of the wrecked T-sport and had it sandblasted and coated. I wanted to galvanize it but the parts contain some rubber inserts and that doesn't go well together. Galvanizing is the best surface treatment against corrosion.
I'm still wondering if powdercoating (as is done with Dan's parts) isn't a problem with the rubber inserts.

The parts are painted gloss black. I hope they stay nice for a long time.
Anyway, here are some pics of my coated rear suspension parts:

 

Great work! I like those polished induction pipes (hope this is the right word!). Have fun with the additional power after 6000rpm!

 

well done !
Year his Celica is great ! I like the view under his car....

The LCD Display is great ! the white one is very cool !
But very expensive

 

frag hier auch noch nach wie schaut es eigentlich aus, wenn man sich für den swap ne rechtslenker celi holt? wäre das theoretisch möglich von gb oder so ne rechtslenker celi zu kaufen oder is das nicht möglich?

 

das wurde schon bei newcelica.org besprochen und es sollte keine probleme geben von RHD auf LHD einen swap durchzuziehen

 

hab da nen link von thomas (blokker) bekommen, da hab ich auch danach gefragt. dort wurde mir keine antwort gegeben

hmm falls das kein problem sein sollte ... wie schauts eigentlich mit dem motor aus? is der komplett gleich wie in d/ö oder gibts da unterschiede? (in amerika is ja glaub ich ein bissl anders)

 

die EU-Spec müssten alle gleich sein, soweit ich weiß.
die US-Spec haben eine andere Abgasanlage, Steuergerät soll anders sein und die Einspritzdüsen(jedenfalls streuen die extrem nach unten und sind auch nur mit 180, statt 192PS, angegeben)...die meisten haben so zwischen 155 und 170HP...(wobei HP auch noch in PS umgerechent werden muss...ist kein großer unterschied)

let's go

 

mhm hört sich gut an ... jetzt noch eine fürn guten preis finden und zuschlagen

 

jup! und die GT sind mit 130hp angegeben... kein wunder das die fast alle duelle
verlieren

 

its there any chance to use my 1zz Tachometer ?
are the inputs in the back the same or won´t the engine
starts without a 2zz Tacho ?

i need a header and an airbox and a ECU
Just opend my damaged 2zz.... i will rebuild it !
