Welly's - GT4 Engine Swap Project (Celica GT4 / MR2 REV3)



  • good luck welly i was looking for one for a while but gave up. just gonna work on what i have.



  • The joy of modifying cars hey!!, whats wrong with the shell you have? Its bit weird that you want a mazda but without a mazda engine lol, how about a mx3 rx7 conversion?.
    On a serious note is someone offered me 5k for a mx3 id rip there arm off!!, i was tempted to let mine go for 2K!!.
    Bad news about your old man mate, so is that a deffinate end to the mazota?



  • hi welly i now were there is a realy tidy 1.8 v6 in green it better condition than mine for £500 the only thing it needs is a rear cam cover gasget the front one has been done. the only reason its going so cheap is that its quite thursty and he dose a lot of mile for his work so wants to get rid. if i had the spear cash i would get it.



  • engine would be coming out jay, the 3sGTE is being rebuilt and forged. bigger fuel pump and more boost.

    Yes shes staying, be off the road for abit though..worth it int he end, and the body shell is showing signs of ages…

    Rx7 Rotary? no thanks thats not different, and 5000 fair enough its a good price, but the mazota has had more than that put into it easy..

    How many mx3's you know eat TVRS,Ferrari 360s? and ur local evo,supra and scooby boys?

    The car is a one off and has a shit load of attention off alot of people.



  • Being rebuilt



  • Imprezza P1 Fuel pump is fitted
    Air to fuel ratio gauge and boost gauge to be fitted.

    apparently the car is alot better at picking up now, so can bet it will be running 21psi soon, (alot more power) currently running 5 - 7psi, when people have seen vids before.

  • abit of cutting done also did some cutting inside still got more to do



  • uuummm fmic, looks good should the job a treat.



  • on the hunt for a st205 map sensor if anyone finds one let me know

    just borrowed one to try and yes theres a huge difference no spluttering etc…

    and it can be floored...which is nice as its never been floored before...



  • Ooooh, lovely shinyness! I think I might cut the bottom out of my bumper, looks cleaner and meaner, have you filled where you cut it or just left it?



  • just left it will be having intercooler there mate

    had to cut rear of bumper out abit also to get intercooler in, still more cutting to do

    wouldn't be to hard to make it all completely smooth dude if you would rarther get someone to do it for you i dont mind



  • sponser stickers on



  • i swear thats the exact same type of cooler i tried fitting to my 205!
    you painting it black for stealth look?!



  • @f79d67ea30=youdirtyfox:

    i swear thats the exact same type of cooler i tried fitting to my 205!
    you painting it black for stealth look?!

    Staying how it is mate…painting them can reduce cooling by a fraction its being tucked into bumper

    Intercooler size is 28" x9" x 2.5" and 2.5" pipes



  • think mine was bigger actually (not that im willy waving), prolly why it wouldnt fit without cutting the bumper in half :(

    dunno if you would actually notice the differnece painting though, marginal i guess..

    Gimme a shout of you need any oddities of piping, i got some stainless and ali pipe lying about somewhere :)
