i think the general responses will be to do a search. but for the taillights, it is just take them off, then spray with testors transparent candy apple red. but go to http://www.clonegts.com then installs, then Redding out taillights. it's for a celica but procedure is the same. as for turbo kits, i believe toyomoto or something like that once made one, but your best bet would be to do it yourself. i've got almost all the parts for it and will be doing it in a month roughly. talk to 88LE or djprefix for more info. Nopi has a few parts for the 3s-fe (check under the celica GT heading as well).

i think just cutting the stock shifter will mean that the height is shorter, but the throw will not be and more effort is needed to change.

for lowering springs, i think most people over there use Intrax.

 

I was wondering where i could purchase lowering springs.

Also i was wondering if there was any good mods for the 3s-fe engine other then an intake?

What are you looking for?

 

i was looking for a list of anyhting that you could possibly do to the engine. I dont want to spend thousands of dollars on it tho. And about the shifter being cut shorter, it would be harder to shift into gear? If anyone has cut the shifter shorter to there 5 speed camry can you give me some feedback?

 

I was also wondering if intrax lowering springs for a 89 celica would fit my 89 camry?

Headers, intake, exhaust, port & polish head.

And about the shifter being cut shorter, it would be harder to shift into gear?

Yes. If you cut the shifter shorter you'll have less leverage, which makes it harder to shift.

Dunno.

Do yourself a favor and get the right springs.

 

hey thanks man, how do i port and polish my head? Ive heard of it before but never knew what it meant? And the reason i asked about if the intrax springs for a 86-89 celica would fit an 89 camry was because i found a good deal off ebay but didnt know if it would fit or not.

 

swiss cheese your airbox and advance your timing, free HP

 

hey thanks man, how do i port and polish my head?

Its best left to a machine shop, engine builder, or cylinder head shop.

 

o alright. Where can i purchase an exhaust system? I have a muffler( just the canister welded to the stock pipes) but would like to know if they sell new larger in diameter exhaust pipes for the 3s-fe? Also if i get headers can you hook the headers right up to the stock exhasut pipes? And oldman, what do you mean swiss cheese my airbox and advance timiong? Can you explain to me the procedure on how to do this?

 

take a drill with an inch wide bit and drill tons of holes in the bottom part of your stock intake box, less restriction

advancing timing is when you set your distributor a few degrees the opposite way that it rotates, improves high end power but the idle suffers a bit (3-5, maybe 7 degrees)

Grow up Oldboy .

 

well it works... but that's more of a demolition dirby car mod

 

o alright. Anyone know of any exhaust system pipes? Also i wanna make a custom cold air intake and would like to see pictures and where the intake filter goes? Does it go inside the left front fender where the stock intaker air sucking tube is? The air sucking tube is the thing that is behind the front bumper behind the fender that feeds the air to the intake? Do you get rid of that and put the filter there?

 

You really shouldn't worry about so much stuff at one time. There are parts for the 2nd gen but they are rare and not many companies to choose from. Also, many times you have to use parts from another toyota. You'll never remember where to get all the stuff from and you I highly doubt you are planning to buy everything at one time. You need any more info, just IM me on AIM. My name on there is Talisman18t. I can tell you what you need to know about modifying your car and at the very least show you where you can get any extra info you may need.

 

Talisman18, I was just trying to get a referance of performance mods for the generation 2. I wanna start off by installing performance exhasut pipes. Do they sell any for the generation 2 camry? Could you post where? thanks

 

you can get the pacesetter extractors designed for the 3s-fe celica (search for exact years etc), but apparently these dont fit too well and the ceramic coating will flake off. the japspeed one is no longer available. there is also Genies, but these are in australia. beside the extractors you will have to go custom

Yeah, exactly what crazy_camry just said. You can get headers from pacesetter and genie. If you want a link to a North American provider for the Genie Headers then just say so and I will look up the link. The exhaust is gonna have to be custom though. Just find a good shop that does mendrel bends. It will probably cost less than an aftermarket exhaust anyway and be just as good.

 

o alright. Anyone know of any exhaust system pipes?

Go custom. IE... Muffler shop.

Also i wanna make a custom cold air intake and would like to see pictures and where the intake filter goes?

The filter sits inside the fender.

The air sucking tube is the thing that is behind the front bumper behind the fender that feeds the air to the intake? Do you get rid of that and put the filter there?

The thing inside the fender is a resonator.

Its a big box and yes it needs to be removed.

 

88 LE, thanks for the pics man. where do you get the piping that goes from the throttle body to the air flow meter? And does the filter get dirty a lot because its in the open? And does rain or dirt get in there?

And does the filter get dirty a lot because its in the open? And does rain or dirt get in there?

The filter is going to get dirty no matter where you put it. But yeah it does get dirty faster as opposed to it sitting in the engine bay.

My filter would get wet when it rains, but only because I placed the filter way down on the bottom and cut off a piece of the fender liner.

As long as you place the filter inside the fender and the fender liner is covering it your fine.

 

The picture in the link is of piping i found that will fit a celica from 1990. the question i have is will this fit from the throttle body to the air flow sensor perfectly so that all is needed is a straight pipe that then curves down int the filter, or am i better off buying the piping from the jcwhitney website? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38634&item=2453661501

 

For $40 your better off buying the pipe from JC Whitney and making your own.

You'll also need some hose couplers, AFM adapter, filter, and a can of high temp engine paint.

 

YA thats what i thought would be the better thing to do. I already have the afm adaptor and the filter so thats taken car of. Now if i wanted to keep the piping chrome does it come chrome from jcwwhitney? Or do you have to sand it an polish it? Also i have 210,000 miles on my camry. I wanted to do a major tune up to make sure that everything is working right and that im not throwing money away by moding my car and then it dying on me in a year or so. What should i expect to change with a major tune up?

 

I was wondering how many miles the 3s-fe engine can hold before you have to worry about changing major parts in the engine? Mine has 210,000 miles and i was wondering if i have to worry about it soon? how many miles do all the rest of your generation 2 camry's have? I also noticed the other day that there is oil leaking out of my valve cover on the left side near the second cylinder from the left. It's also leaking all the way up to the manifold up the tupe that connects to the second cylinder. What could this be caused by? and how do i fix it?
