Toyota Celica Convertible TwinTurbo 7M-GTE
The 7MGTE transplant into this
RA60 Celica was done to showcase Toysport tuning and convertion capability.
The 7MGTE was bored out to 3100cc using forged Toysport pistons and an HKS Metal
Headgasket.. A modified oil pan and pump were fabricated to install the engine
in the "short" chassis. The head received minor port clean-up and
all manifolds were EXTRUDE HONED. An HKS TwinTurbo manifold was used using twin
TURBONETICS prepared T2.5/T3s. A four-row HKS Intercooler with a three row custom
radiator were fitted to handle all the cooling. The car was rewired using 7MGTE
electronics, supplemented by an HKS F-Con controlling HKS 550cc. injectors,
HKS VPC, HKS EVC, and HKS SBV. The exhaust used modified HKS 3" exhaust.
Front custom sway-bars were made by SWAY AWAY, who also supplied the rear bar.
Tokico Sport Springs and Illumina 5-way adjustable shocks complete the suspension.
To keep the sutble enhanced look- projector lights were built-in the corner/signal
lights; the front bumper was ventilated for the turbo intercooler; to complete
the up-dated performance look- Recaro C seats in gray leather and SSR Racing
Wheels 16x8 and 16x9 with 225/285Pirelli tires were added. Featured in the 1994
February issue of CARBOY, a Japanese published Automobile Magazine. Also appeared
