Soon, Luis

Still nothing?​@@luiszrodriguez1822

I believe it does, I don't think that toyota used any different parts for the headlights or bulb sizes between the GTS or GT version!

The LED headlight bulbs have two blade pin connectors coming from the back, the wires (seen at 7:28) that were connected to the original headlight lamp were just unplugged and plugged in with the blade pin connectors. no splicing required this time. I did however have to splice the led halos to the original wiring, but I showed that in the first video. I simply took some scissors and cut a hole in the top of the dust boot so that I wouldn't harm the existing wires and I could pull the large components (like the regulator box) through.

Haha thanks man! and yeah, unfortunately there isn't much swapping potential for this car, strictly because of how small and tight the engine bay is. You can get away with MAYBE another boosted 4 banger, like the 2.3 l Mazdaspeed, but that's a huge maybe. Best to just upgrade the rods, pistons, and engine cap to make the power you want I think. Let me know how ethanol goes! Did you have to do a custom flex fuel conversion?

@@carboys568 Yeah, glad to announce the fact that I love the high revs so much! I think the exact rev limit is 8250 on my model. Of course the strict engine bay dimensions help keep the car´s overall dimensions in check, for added sportiness. The engine is light itself, so that is a benefit too. Perhaps it is the perfect engine for this car! The flex fuel conversion has not been problem-free because of a simple problem. There is kind of a "ring" around the place you want to plug it in, preventing you from using the basic adapters and "opening" the pins for the connection, at least that is how I understood it. I brought it to a tuner and he showed me the unfortunate surprise. But now a special tool has been ordered, specifically for t-sports. Damn, they really do not want us to mess around with it, do they? :D The fuel injectors should be plenty for the conversion though, and of course ethanol loves high compression ratios, or was it something else it loves? Uh, I am pretty sure it is the ratios. I may add that when I have a surplus of cash, I will do a standalone ECU and make a few extra horses with the ethanol´s benefits. Maybe sport intake and exhaust too. I have heard you can quite easily surpass 200 hp. You just have to give it more air and let more gasses out :D But as for now, I only seek fuel cost benefits from the conversion, as it is much cheaper here in Finland. Even when you take into account the increased fuel consumption. I will report back here how the conversion goes and if my car explodes lmao!

@@teme5529 When I was looking into ethanol I ran into exactly the same thing you just mentioned with the alcohol-sensitive ring that causes the issues.I do really wish they made the car a bit more tuner-friendly, but that obviously would have let the intended reliability slip lol. Sounds like a good plan though man! A standalone ecu is a MUST if you'll be tuning the car. Are you going PFC? My plans are a little different but not completely! I'm thinking some suspension, PFC with Tune, and at that point I'd bite the bullet and get a turbo kit with forged internals for reliability. That's a ways down the road though! Still glad to hear another person is working on these babies! Can't wait to see what you do with it!

@@carboys568 Yeah, I have actually barely scraped the surface of the world of tuning, so I had to google the pfc, lol. So I must say I have not looked into it, what standalone ecu brand would do well. But I know it will be costly. Gotta be ready to spend 3000€+ And yes, when I seek power, I need the standalone ecu! Toyota ecu is angry and will erase all changes. :D And be ready to be spending some cash if you are going for reinforced internals, I guess. Have you considered the benefits/downsides of mechanical charging? Note that this is only my opinion, but the essence of the car is instant power. Turboing would eliminate the lift kicking in hard and immediately. The power curve would be soft. Also the turbo-build would consist of many components, and reducing the compression ratio would probably be a must, I guess. I think that if I want to charge it, I will go the supercharge-route. I think it is more reliable and simpler design. However, when money is not an issue, reinforced internals should do the trick. Turbo won´t be an issue anymore at that point! It makes more power than any other method! And yeah man, glad to talk about our cars like this! It is always useful to share tips and information.

@@carboys568 And btw I gotta ask what kind of issues about the ring other than not fitting? I mean damn, tomorrow is the installation day so I gotta know if I missed something about it :D

I definitely would. I had a Celica as my first car, they're good on gas for commuting, sporty enough to have fun without being dangerously powerful, and the hatchback makes moving things very easy. They also retain value pretty well and are reliable.

@@carboys568 thank you for the response!

Thanks man I appreciate it! The taillights are actually stock and came with the car as part of the tsunami package! I'm sure you can find some similar aftermarket ones online that have clear housing!

The song at the end is called Edge by Rezz. And yes! Absolutely the lights have worked and still look amazingly bright!

Thank you! It's definitely not a car you see much of anymore!

@@carboys568 I have a black VVTi, is like a jewel for me! 😁

@@omyblaster1995 awesome! Any mods you'd recommend?

@@carboys568 My Celica is completely original except for the Ragazzon duplex exhaust😎

@@omyblaster1995 Ragazzon duplex exhaust?! I've never heard of that one but I'll check it out! It sounds exotic lmao!

2004 👍
