Cool The New & Improved WaynO FX

I'M BACK!!!

Hope everyone has been well certainly looks like this place has expanded ten fold over here with plenty of new members and information which is always good to see!

I haven't had my Celica with my BEAMS in it for the last 12 months or so which is why I was on a little break period but things are back on track and the motor will be breathing life in my Celica once again very soon. As some of you may already know Glenn has been working very hard on putting all sorts of goodies in the motor so it’s a big strong & nasty little BEAMS! Ha-ha

I thought I would share with you all what has been done so far, the outcomes and then from here on out I can keep you up to date with how its progressing on my side for your own reference and pure awe!

Special thanks to Glenn Booth for all his hard work and when I'm in Melbourne next will definitely buy him a beer or 5!

Will let you know when the motor is going back in the car and the outcome it has on my Celica FWD setup… ENJOY!!

Divide by 0.745 is the easy way to remember conversion from KW to HP, its divide by .[L shape on number pad]

Yes! We definitely need more pics. Im have been kicking around the idea of building up my BEAMS all NA too. Let's see of sexy pics of those pistons and if possible can someone post the blacktop piston's? I want to see how different they are, Im curious to see if I cant use blacktop piston's in my redtop.

Cool

Now that my 3SGE BEAMS is back in the west here I thought some photos were in order but first once again big thank you to Glenn Booth for doing such exceptional work. I'm more then happy with the outcome especially the overall look of the motor as its very polished shiny and new lookin! I'm sure it performs as well if not better then the workmanship done!!







Next stage is installation back in the car which requires some modification before job can be complete. Tristan Hewitt @ WTF Auto is the man for the job (down under here he is our 3S-GTE GOD) and I've already spoken to him about what needs to be done next so we will tackle this over the next month or so.

ENJOY!!

Yeah Tristan said they check that on every motor they do so should be good. I told him his welcome to contact you by email if he needs to know anything too!

I put a few things back on the motor the other day and just need to complete a few other small jobs before the motor gets re-installed!

Is that still the Phoenix Power exhaust piece you have there? Ceramic coated is my guess....
