- Even with the engine in, there's still a lot to do! And quite a bit of fabrication to make everything fit properly. Things are starting to get tighter in the engine bay...

Just found your channel a few days past. Really appreciate the engineering you are doing.
Thanks for the kind words! :)
Good job, love the adaptation of existing parts to fit the project.
Thank you!! That's the angle I'm taking with the project so that it's easier for others to replicate.
Nice progress! Not sure if you want any advice, but I believe you would be better off making more shorter episodes. I love the build and your content is good, but people are far more likely to click on a shorter video and watch a higher percentage of it. CZcams really likes that. Click through rate and watch time are huge. Also personally I'd be more likely to watch an 8-15 minute video, even though I watch everything on 2X. If you could make this into 3 episodes with brief intros and outros, I think it could serve you well. Just sharing my opinion and what I've learned over time. That oil filter bracket was particularly sweet, by the way.
Thanks! That bracket took me 4 hrs and two tries to get right. And I appreciate the tip!! I'm not super into trying to become big on this platform, and my videos on this swap are really meant for archival and instructional purposes, so the folks who want the knowledge will sit to watch through it. I appreciate anyone else who sits through just to see my process. 😊
@@winguard96 Awesome! In that case, your videos are doing a great job for both purposes. What I was talking about is definitely just how to target maximum growth. I still think your videos are very enjoyable and informative!
@@802Garage Thank you so much!! I suppose another way to look at it is that these are the video representations of my usual detailed forum write-up. 😄
@@winguard96 I always wished I was good at doing forum posts. I know I could have made some really good ones. Especially DIY guides. Props to you!
Great job 👍
Hey nice swap. Well I used the same box in my Volvo 240 /7mgte swap ,but I used a silicone pipe and it was flexible Enough to fit behind the right headlight.
Nice!! I think the 240 has a bit more room up front than my car, so that probably helped your case. Thankfully trimming the front of the box allowed mine to squeeze in!
@@winguard96 oh yes I see. I had an 1982 celica with a Mazda rotary 12 a swap. It was the bomb. I still miss it after 23 years .
Great
For your power steering idler pump should the In and Out maybe be looped? Not sure if capping it could potentially create a tiny vacuum internally and stop it from rotating. Keep up the videos! Always enjoy watching them in the morning :)
Perhaps one way, but then I'd still incur some pumping losses... after thinking about it a bit, I'm leaning more towards the option of gutting the pump and capping the ends. Glad you're enjoying them! The next video is going to be big!! :^)
✊🏼👌🏼
Videos are super well put together man. Definitely Subbed. Sometimes I wish I went 1UZ over the BEAMS. Your car is so damn clean. lol Keep it up. Cant wait for the next update. Just my 2 cents. The problem with using the power steering pump as an idler is that its a hydraulic pump. the fluid lubricates the internals. if you can get fluid in it and cap it off you might be ok. they cant be run without fluid (long). it would have the potential to lock up. if you took out the vane inside the pump I would be worried that the shaft would not have stability. at 3k rpm you might get some wobble. have you looked at an ac delete? you might be able to modify it to fit that area.
Thank you so much dude! Really appreciate the sub. Next update may take some weeks but it'll be an important video for sure. Thanks for the thoughts on the PS pump; after looking at the factory service manual, I think I may just create a looped line and suffer some pumping losses until I get my custom idler setup. I won't be doing an A/C delete since I'd like to get that working; the Celica is a street car after all. 😁
what don’t you like about your beams swap on your celica I was thinking about doing it but I’m still undecided
@@slammed_accord sorry I never responded. At the time of doing the beam swap All parts & repair information are difficult to get. If you had to do any kind of major diagnostic going to have to trust forums. If you try to get any more power out of it you're looking at big big money.
You need to get yourself a 3d printer dude. It is extremely helpful when building these old toyotas.
Dude agreed, problem is that the printers I want are like $4k+ 😅
Nice just watched your videos and just subscribed 👍
Yo thanks so much!!
Great video! Very informative. Not sure if this was mentioned in another video but what kind of coilover setup are you using? My RA65 needs a full suspension rebuild.
Thanks! I haven't talked about the suspension just yet, that'll come in a later video once the swap is done since I'm upgrading the setup a bit. You can find all the details of my work here: www.celica-gts.com/forums/index.php?topic=30743.0
The idea for the fronts between RA64/65 are the same, but it'll be a little bit different in the back for the RA65, since it has IRS.
hey man, thanks so much for doing this series, im learning so much for my swap. I just had a quick question, did you use a spacer for your pilot bearing? if not, did you just sink it all the way in or just make it flush?
Glad it's helping you learn! That's what I like to hear. No spacers, I just pressed the bearing in flush!
@@winguard96 thanks man!
Would it be difficult to swap a challenger with a 1uz ?
Short answer: Yes
