no exhuast. im going to run 3" straight piped out the back, but for getting it driveable and running im going to just run a down pipe .

So i have about 700$ left, and i still have to pay for my harness repair, get a flywheel resurfaced, but the misc. junk i will need ect.

Im sorta going over budget but i did buy a bunch of crap i didnt "NEED" but i had the money so i bought it haha. It will be fine. My plan was to do it for under 2000$ but im past that i think now.

alright i got work done. fuel pump installed, clutch put on, trans put on and motor is back in the car. it fits amazing. wiring is being picked up tomorrow and im making an exhuast. should be crazy. Im exicted to get it together and running and driving. it should be pretty fast.

all that left is hook up the wiring, hook up intercooler, fill coolant system. make headlight buckets fit and do some other things. should be done in the next few days

cold side pipe done. needs hose clamps. i did the clutch slave cylinder, and bled that, feels solid. and did the throttle cable thats great. Needs wiring Tomorrow and make a down pipe as well. everything is coming smooth.


Ok as far as making it look easy.. it is but isnt. Its taken me awhile but its working good.

basicly if you have a grinder, a chop saw, a welder, a tape measure and level, and a good eye, anything can be done.

I mean i borrowed a welder, and bought a ton of stuff. pretty much i had helped a buddy in washington put his ca18 into his ae86. and after seeing his and knowing how he did it, it was easy for me to replicate. the worst part is that im converting a GTS from sr5 back to GTS. i had this car, true GTS stripped and basicly made into a SR5. so now im doing the GTS throttle cable, and GTS wiring again, and repairing shit i broke or cut when i did the carb 4age swap.

This was TONS of fabrication. ive spent hours i stay up normally till this time 1-2am working on the car. I spend my weekend ordering parts and putting things together. i do a bit a day and tomorrow i will get tons of crap done.

SO my adivse is IF you have the time, and have a BUDGET, go for it. BUT over budget. ive spent 2500$ so far, and im close to done. need to buy some fluids and basic shit but other then that i mean i budgeted 2000$ with buying a motor, and i mean 2500$ isnt bad its a bit over budget but i had the leway to spend it.

looking good that ca18 is fitting nicely. i always thought of the ca as kind of a worthless motor but in the corolla it makes more sence.
