klone1000 · 12-10-2006, 10:36 PM

Yes but be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime with a speed density tune!!!

its not that bad getting started, you can have it fully wired in a few hours and up and running in a day if you have someone that knows their shit with a VE tune with you.

ok i will i have been so busy lately i just started a new business and i bought a new car reciently but i have a new employee now and i will have time to play with my celica now. Is the megasquirt the only computer recomended there are others but i cannot find any on the internet. Can someone help me? I want to get my celica up and running before it sits too long already sit for 2 months now lol....... I forget to tell u guys my other computer has gotton wet and i had cleaned it out and it worked for a while but that was 4 months ago... Also can all four injectors get stuck open at one time? For some reason there is a lot of fuel on the spark plugs and i have seen spark from all 4 plugs.

Your problem is way over my head. Problems with computers n' stuff is over my head. Umm.....
Is your car at least trying to start?
If your spark plugs are sparking... shouldn't the gas ignite?

If your car sits too long gas goes bad... remeber that.

ok today i have go outside and i took the computer and cleaned it out more take off all the relays and check them and tried to crank the car for 2 hours and finally it had cranked. While trying to crank the car i had removed the connector off a sensor that is not listed in the repair manual and it had started up somehow. I have not crank the car for about 4 months so i let it run for 1 hour and i ran out of gas. But i cannot tell you what i had done differently but i am cranked lol. but the only problem i had was when i turn off the engine i had trouble cranking the car again it does not start right up but it takes some time before it starts. tomorrow i will get some gas and try to check the car out somemore and hopefully i will be boosting again soon lol see yall.......

very bad news i have been told by a tech that the rings are gone in atleast 2 cylinders and the engine would have to be rebuilt again. just my luck it turns out that the map sensor hose when it came disconnected under boost it caused the fuel ratio to go lean and i burned up the rings this is why the car was hard to start. He take off the pvc valve and oil shot all over the place and the whole time the car run exhaust gases were coming out of the valve cover.

SO I ASK YOU GUYS WHICH WOULD BE BETTER REBUILD THE 5SFE AND PUT FORGED PISTONS AND STEEL SLEAVES AND TOTAL SEAL GAPLESS RINGS

OR SHOULD I GO GET THE 3SGTE AND BE DONE WITH IT. i BELIEVE IF I GET THE 5SFE BUILT THE CORRECT WAY I WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OUT OF IT. iT RAN ALONG WITH A 600HP STROKER ENGINE IN A MONTECARLO.

IF I GET THE 3SGTE I ESTIMATE IT WOULD COST 2000USD FOR THE ENGINE AND ATLEAST ANOTHER 2000USD IN PARTS LABOR AND OTHER MISS AND IF I REBUILD THE 5SFE TO BE TURBO WORTHY IT WOULD COST ABOUT 2000USD FOR THE REBUILD.

GIVE ME YOUR OPINION PLEASE
