Video

“All completely analog “ 😂 literally has a digital gauge cluster .

Another great video, Cam - You're doing gods work pointing out all the little idiosyncrasies.. I didn't even know about the fuel injector o-rings..

I have been at ground zero 3 times in my 951 project, so just keep going! mistakes are about overcoming, adapting and remember what you learned. and use torquespec :D

Well you gained another sub , you make me miss my 80s supra. Enjoyed your review and the video at start.

Could you share the part number for the thermostat housing? Is it factory or aftermarket? Im having a difficult time

thanks a lot for your insight! Made me decide not to go the K07 way despite the great sound! Good luck with your project!

Wow what a journey! I am in the process of building my 07K swap into my 944 as well. Halfway through, I can't wait to start mine up when everything is all done

Anyone know if this works with Euro front bumper?

Thanks for doing this! My project is on pause due to having a baby but this will be a great reference once I can get back at it!

That RV you pass by time 1400 was better looking than that supra you paid 14000 grand R U nuts I rather have the celica model U got riffed off donate and give that car to a young person he will love it and appreciate it that car is not for a old timer like you go plant a garden

I will sleep on it weird looking car but it look really nice in it's time with the back window louver I would not buy tha car for a 2000 grand

WOOOOO!!!

loll

loll

Congrats!

There we go!

Congratulations!!!

Hey alliedcam1 i am 23 and one a 1977 toyota celica ta23 5speed and its all origineel

What area of Washington was this filmed in? It's gorgeous!

I had an 83, one of my favorite cars of all time

Love it. Brown interior does not go at all.

I never left appreciating Analog Cars! I appreciate technology and am an avid user of it, but I drove mostly Analog Cars throughout my life and there is Nothing like the connection to the actual Driving Experiene that you get with these older more Raw cars. Personallly if this becomes a bigger trend I would not be surprised if we see Car Companies return to this type of reduced tech car building..Great video!

Turbo bumper became standard on the S2 NA models in 89.

the thing I hear most often when Im out with my mk2 is "you dont see a lot of these around anymore"

Lessons learned part 2 coming?

Yeah I have a Celica gt 1982 they are criminally slept on which was good for me cause I got my dream car for cheap but for a 1980’s group b rally icon and one of the last rwd analog Toyotas

Great video and music choice 🎉🎉

Any updates?

I have a 1983 Toyota celica supra amazing car

Very very nice car ! Trying to get one, but looks to be difficult. Enjoy ;)

A lot of us have gotten to that point where we are looking to make life better and progress . My 944 07k had it`s first start today . Here is to 2024 .

Love all the information that you share and im stating my swap and saving for now but I bought my engine. Bring the pain :)...

Really great points, i would say the best advice i was given from Elliot at 944barn was make sure to get all your parts together before pulling the car apart to minimize downtime. I ordered the builders kit for affordability reasons but there is so much stuff to buy to just make this work. Im in it for the long haul. I just really want to hear that 5 cylinder turbo sing! Keep up the good work man!

The 944 Turbo has the same back bumper as the NA versions..

Nice kit. Glad to know these exist.

Cue the classic tunes!!

ok but tbf cars became shit when we stopped using bumpers for bumping, like thats what they are for. nowadays you will literally roll up to someone, do no visible damage and yet they will still shit their pants ad demand money or call the cops. these bumpers might have looked a bit ugly but at least they made sense

Beautiful car! I've got an 84 Celica GTS that I love! It's been down for 4 years. Just put rebuilt 22RE in it and hope to have it back on the road by the end of Jan.

This was the coolest video "video essay" I have seen. Very unique style, good work. I enjoyed it

This is maybe the best video I have ever seen on CZcams. It was everything I was looking for: A little sauce, a little sass, and a whole lot of deep technical info and real life experience. I came because I fucking love this car, the first 30 second I was like “Wtf is this, is this the right video?” And then…the music hits and you can’t look away for 18 minutes. Bravo.

Toyota MK11 Supra was not turbo because Toyota engineered the first commercially available belt - driven double overhead cam engine that gave you the extra boost of horsepower, like a turbo without the complication of an 80s turbo

Well done for doing this. I am in Finland and I saw a green 924 with a 5 cly UrQattrro swap in Sweden. You can see this at restomodgarage on youtube. But these engines are rare/old even with Audi people. So that is how I found your channel. But i am holding off on the project as I can see that even you a person who lives in the US where the 07k is available struggling how would I suffer having to order something like the thermostat housing across the Atlantic. I looked into the alloy TT/RS3 5 cly as they are available here in Europe. But they are around 10k and then like you. It would be a case of learning by doing and finding new swear words. Your buying new bolts issue is probably for the better. Once you get it running and heat cycle it spanner check each nut/bolt and paint a bright colour stripe over it in reference to the case. This makes it easier to see if something is coming loose or not seated as access is difficult. I think its good you have paused to make the video and be honest as not every engine swap is a Sema build. As for the how to guide. I would take inspiration from Autodoc who are a parts supplier here in Europe. They treat it like a cooking programme, you will need this list of parts, these tools and then a separate method.

My parents bought one. Silver and black. Digital dash. Automatic. Awesome car to drive in highschool and college. They keept until 1998.

BBG REALLY needs someone to do this work for them. There’s no excuse to just be lazy with documentation like that. Also, 18 months lead time is pretty inexcusable. I would have bought a kit 2 years ago if it weren’t for these issues, and I see no progress on them to this day. But I hope they do get their shit together eventually.

Thanks for the info . I am one of the first 10 kits that were produced and just took my entire swap and my car to work so that i can start on it this week . I`m going to have some long nights this week for sure . I`ll try to take lots of pics and do a little video as well .

Insightful and informative as always!

Thanks, I agree with the lack of explanation in the kit. What ecu are you using?

You're the fucking best Cam, thank you! I am so proud of you sticking through this and being the guiding light to all of us.

This was super helpful. I’m a few months away from putting the engine in the car and you answered a few questions I had already.

Thanks for this. I recently cancelled my 07k plans for the short term and sold off all my parts but I’m glad you put this out there because I knew there were a bunch of things not mentioned that we’d need to know about. Good job on this.
