hey everyone,

I've taken almost a year off from performance cars and since im financially more secure now, i've decided to get back into it ;) but sorry, i didnt buy a skyline :( somehow if i wanna buy a skyline again it has to be a GTR.. nothing else.. so thats over my budget :banana:

Anyways.. the new ride's a 1990 ST185 Celica GT4 :D(needs a few grand to get it ready) but most of the major mods have been done.. so.. ill keep you guys informed :D

Cheers

Bernard

yeah it was the gt4 for sale on this forums.

yes i bought it from CK.

Just need to spend another 3-4grand and the car will be ready to have at least 280hp awhp :)

nice buy man, should be a good car ! :D

umm.. the t3 turbo thats on the engine now is almost gone.. so im either gonna get back another new t3 or gonna get a gt30. Then ill go and get the motec tuned and also probably rebuild the gearbox.

Then ill be ready for cruises :)

Mate I was dealing chop to supposedly "modified" GT4's when I still had my RB20 :teehee: If we're talking about when things are "ready".. wait till I get my GT35R on! :(

haha.. well.. no matter what.. its still a gt4.. so im not gonna spend THAT much money on it to fix it up.. rather get a gtr and put in just a few grand and FLYYYYYYY :)

what are the plans to the car ay

Umm.. currently its got forged internals, motec, t3 turbo(requires to be changed as wearing out) and all the standard mods such as turbo back zorst and pods etc.

Currently trying to save up some cash first to:

1. Change to a new t3 turbo or get a gt30 turbo

2. Tune the MOTEC

3. Rebuild the gearbox

Im hoping to get at least 250++awhp and try to make it to mid 12's in the 1/4 mile :huh:

Nice pick up, the GT4's are a good package and can deliver good time. The gearboxs are tough as nails so you shouldn't need to rebuild it unless it has a fair few kms and its got worn syncos. Theres plenty of boys overseas pumping well over 400awhp on the stock box with no dramas.

A gt30 would be a tad laggy on the 3SGTE, i would be more inclined to go a disco potatoe, which will quite easily get you you 280awho and will be nice and responsive. Even a stock ct20b from a ST205 celica go well and should get you close to 250awhp (i use to have a st162 celica with the conversion and i had the ct20b at one stage and it net me 271hp atw, plus it had full boost at 2500rpm)

Anyway goodluck with it

p.s. i have a low km st185 gearbox (from my halfcut) that i will let go cheap if you want it instead of rebuilding yours which tends to be big $$$. I live in perth aswell

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
