I think the shipping might kill that deal

toyotaspeed90 · 11-20-2009, 03:52 PM

question on the celicas for you.....

friend has an st165 that's got a troublesome 3s..... we've toiled with the idea of a v6 swap, but the cost of the rav4 AWD transmissions are pretty high.... he wants to keep it AWD... and from what he has seen this setup would give it a very low top speed but wold get there quickly -- have you done any AWD v6 swaps in either a 165 or 185? What trans/diff combo did you use?

Paul Woods · 11-21-2009, 03:39 AM

No i haven't done an AWD V6 yet, there is one in the UK though, built by user "fourveesix" on twobrutal, i would contact him about it but i am pretty sure he used the RAV4 trans.

you are a f**king god........

Paul Woods · 11-21-2009, 11:59 AM

Not sure about that! but thankyou anyway.

I got my exhaust system finished completely today, i changed my rear tail pipe type to these, turned out i just did not have the space for the larger twin silencers...

With the system tacked i took it off for seam welding...

I then got the wideband lambda bosses welded in along with my EGT probe boss.I am also wrapping my whole system to try and minimize heat in the engine bay/boot.

Just two more pipes to wrap and it is ready for final fitting, hopefully the noise levels will be acceptable!

I love it. You even managed to find exhaust tips that don't have a 17" diameter.

I nicknamed the project the MR8, taken from MR2 for the chassis and audi R8 for the engine/trans layout.I have a nice chrome MR8 badge for the rear to finish it off

mr2_fast4u · 11-22-2009, 06:40 PM

"...who have said it will never get built,it isn't possible and it won't work and basically like to put us down.That's a red rag to a bull as far as im concerned".

You go guys ! Never listen to the naysayers.

Dude, that is amazing man!! Keep us posted!!

randomxzero · 11-23-2009, 03:14 AM

Wow man amazing work!.. cant wait to see videos of it running..

Paul Woods · 11-23-2009, 01:21 PM

Thanks! It shouldn't be long before it runs, i am hoping to have the engine test fired for the first time in the next fortnight, i will of course shoot a video.

IDon'tKnow · 11-23-2009, 06:57 PM

Paul , this project is an inspiration to me. Seeing this, and reading over your writeups for V6 swaps, has convinced me that I'm capable of swapping a Honda J35 V6 with a 6 Speed into my AW11.

Keep up the great work!

Paul Woods · 11-24-2009, 01:51 AM

That's great, if you are going for a honda v6 why not go for the 2009 acura J37 instead? 305bhp if i remember right.

alphaerror · 11-24-2009, 04:22 AM

wow... this and kojis thread are my source of entertainment.
