I think it was the best comparison. The ZR1 was considered Chevy's supercar contender. With it's LT5 with dohc, 32valves, close to 400hp, the ZR1 is alot closer to the new Z06 than the base vette is. I seem to remember supercar shootouts in car&driver, road&track, etc comparing the Viper...

No. The Vette is pretty much the only American car that holds it's value BETTER than imports. Go ahead and look at kelley blue book: 92 Acura NSX ex cond, 60k= $25K 92 Vette ZR1 ex cond, 60k= $27.2K New, the NSX sold for $10-15k more than the vette too. And putting Lambo doors on a classy...

I've been working on sorting out my harness and which sensors I am going to use. I obviously have alot more research to do. If anyone is familar with the sensors in question, or knows where to find lex service manuals online, I would be grateful for the help. I am not sure if I am...

Interesting. I will look into that crown filter mount. It's mostly going in the trash. Only stock parts going back on are the alt, starter, intake mani, water passages, and fuel rail. I'm going to harvest some plugs and wires out of the harness as well. If anybody needs stock lex...

The manifolds look pretty decent. Flipped. I will have to remote mount the oil filter and get creative with the alternator

I got my engine. Look at all the crap that I pulled off it. Moldy rat turds

Which links are you having problems with? The turbo pics are uploaded on Putfile, which I haven't had any problems with in the past.

I bought a Holset H1E. It is comparable to a HX40. It is a remanufacturer unit, I paid $275. Definitely not as smokin' a deal as that KKK you got, but it should meet my goals.

Looking good. I will keep an eye on your project. I don't have any experience messing with steering, so it's valuable info to me. I need to read "how to make your car handle" again. I'm collecting all the glamourous parts first. I went nuts on Ebay yesterday. Holset...

No, MS1 cannot control a stepper motor. MSII can. All the sensors are pictured in the first diagram I posted. Throttle position Air Temp Coolant Temp Oxygen The MAP sensor is built in to the MS board. And VR sensor is all that is needed for EDIS. I am not sure if I am going to mount the 36-1...

What turbo for grassroots single turbo? My goal is 400hp on the street. I would like to keep the budget for the turbo at aroud $500-600. Here is a chart of the 1UZFE pressure ratio vs. air flow http://www.lextreme.com/GT.html Engine Liter Cubic Inch Air flow...

Haha, thanks toysrme. I think you might be the only other Lextreme person to post on HMT. I wouldn't say I'm owning anybody. I'm a reformed Honda dude myself. HMT actually got me interested in hooking up cars. They tend to be really supportive of people trying new stuff, and doing the...

Just bought an engine off of ebay. Cannot wait for it to get here!

Well, I bought an engine off Ebay. $647 to my front door. Engine, chopped harness, intake and exhaust manis, starter, alternator. CAN I GET A WOOT WOOT?!!?!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8043505213&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1

You better get used to the idea of waiting. This will definitely take me awhile. Pretty much every system needs major upgrades and modifications. One step at a time....

The weather is finally getting nice. I hope to have time to start stripping the car soon. I had have another beater wagon I need to put an engine in first. It's taking all my will power to resist stripping the celica until the wagon is done. I have received the megasquirt kits and EDIS ignition.

Wdoherty.. I need a front sump. 77 Celica. I think I'm going to buy it. I'm going to try to lowball them, but if they don't budge it nots not a bad price. I definitely don't want to spend ages and get nickel and dimed to death tracking down all the little bits. Zuffen, I edited my first...

A local recycler has a t-boned LS400. This is a fancy junkyard, where they disassemble everything, have indoor storage, and computerized inventory. The car has 140K miles, and 200 compression across all holes. I have been talking to them about the engine, bellhousing, alternator...
