Hey man don't give up! You're doing something very unique its going to take a lot of blood sweat and tears which i'm sure you already shed to get what you want out of this. Don't let that dream and fire that you have in you go away. Stay at it plus you got this whole forum for support. :icon_tup:

this car has actually gotten me really down and out down and out? dude, you're doing a whole different setup. although i love the corolla twin cams and i am a old skool corolla freak, i love my 7....that nasty bitch of a car that hates me....lol so idecided one day to go from a bone stock gsl-se and do a TII swap...no biggie..right? 1. 1st motor came with mismatched rotors...vibrated so bad an elephant asked me for the setup to get off on friday nights...out came that motor/ 2. motor #2...it runs good, gave iot a little boost after tuning...SNAP!! broken dowel pin...out came that motor.... 3. motor #3..on the dyno something goes wrong and it loses compression..out came that motor....pull it all apart yet again somehow the side seal clearance wasnt that great this time. 4. again, motor back in, on the dyno...runs great, making power, so we decide to finish the tune the following day.....go back and it wont fire up...low compression again...out came that motor... 5. all new seals, springs, and anything else went into this motor....went to steve kan to tune...worked out a lot of bugs,steve gets the car going like a swiss watch....clutch begins to act up....it lets go on a run and boost goes from 16 to 24 faster than a hooker after a fresh $100 bill. dowel pin goes since we had not tuned for that hi boost yet. we had just begun the race gas tune....drive back 624 miles from ft. worth....and guess what? you got it, out came that motor.... 6. currently being redone with fd parts.... i havent given up...but i have developed a drinking problem.....lol after seeing what my car can do in the hands of steve kan....it lit up my love again..... keep at it, and keep the thread updated. this is a badass project!:icon_tup: |

Here is a Video of it running hard!! |
dang man that was sweet. like everyone else said just stick with it. took me 6 months to get my turbo swap finished. the day i did the motor blew 30 minutes after getting it started, learned the hard way how to rebuild an engine. i fought with that motor for another 2 months. then it blew too. it gets rough. now im in the middle of rebuilding my next motor. but i decided on a different starting point. SBC :)

this is fucking sick

Nice build man...I feel your pain. I feel like its taking forever to get things done on my GLC. And its not half as complicated as your car...lol . Very inspiring. Keep at it. We can't wait for the end result.
|
So hows the car doing then?
|
this is how its doing and how its been doing for the past few months and will be doing untill spring. Hopefully I can afford a standalone and a bnr hybrid before that time though..
