Hi Guys!
This forum makes interesting reading!
Got a future project idea that involves a v8 lump. Being a thoroughbread Toyota car modder for the past 4 years, I thought that the only reliable lump I can think of is a toyota v8 variant (know I'm lead to belive the one I want is from a 1uzfe lump?)
Straight to thee point: Project Celica GT4
Now, someone has already done this conversion, but not in England!!
My quest is to build a Toyota Celica GT4 (ST185 model) with:
1. a V8 lump
2. Must be manual gears
3. Aim to have at least 400-450bhp &
4. *all this from an N/A engine.
5. we have extensive knowledge with Motec ECU's & was planning to use the M800 for optimum performance.
Is the above possible?
Please... ANY ideas or suggestions welcome as I've NEVER taken a project on like this b4. (not saying I cant deliver though!!) *Also, from the info I've read on here, wud it be benefical to upgrade to a TT turbo or supercharger on a bearing of per £ per buck so-to-speak or keep to an NA engine?
