Holset Hx35 on a Built JDM 3SGTE swapped into a 1997 Toyota Celica GT.

I can't believe I haven't posted this sooner, I forgot all about my Celica's dyno video.
Like the video says Mike Bruell & Myself made 330whp & 250wtq at 14.5lbs boost (1bar).



Here's a couple drive by videos for your enjoyment.
I know it doesn't look like I'm going fast but that last pass I hit 120mph easily.
In the 2nd pass you can hear the tires break free then 8,500rpm rev limiter.



Ok, and below just to show you guys the engine is now in the MR.
Heres a video of it RIGHT after I got it in the car, there was no exhaust, the timing was off and It hadn't been tuned. So yeah I know it sounded like shit in the video but it was just to show
people I completed the swap. Since then everything and more has been done to that engine.
Thats going to be my next post ;)



The 91 JDM 3sgte 9.0:1 comp engine is built with these mods:
AEM Full Standalone Unit
Holset Hx35 Turbo
Forged 87mm CP pistons
Forged Eagle H-beam Rods
Balanced, Blueprinted, micro-polished Internals
Wolkatz Top Feed fuel rail
Aeromotive FPR 1.1
870cc Delphi Injectors
HKS 264 ex 272 in Cams
Eagle valve springs
RMR Intake Manifold
Heat resistant resin intake manifold gasket
70mm Mustang Throttle Body
Cometic head gasket
ARP headstuds
Custom 3" V-band downpipe
Fidanza cam gears
Solid motor mounts
Aem Uego Wideband o2
Gm boost solenoid
Gm 3 Bar Map
Spec (clutchmaster) stage 3 clutch
HKS Super Mega Flow intake filter (actual name haha)
Apexi dual-drive blow off valve
12x12 Oil cooler
Canton Racing Oil relocation fitting.
3" mandrel bent side exhaust W/ huge muffler & resonator
300x600x3" Bar and Plate Front mount intercooler W/ 2.5" to 3" mandrel bent piping

Not bad power.
This was a break in tune so we didn't turn the boost up, It was set to the wastegate spring, 1 bar.
Which is unfortunate because at 1 bar this turbo wasn't even in its efficiency range yet.
Around 22+ lbs is were this turbo comes alive and really puts down power.
Currently I'm building a 2.2L stroker 5SGTE, 8:1 compression ratio.
With this turbo in my MR2, Plan to run 30lbs of boost on pump gas daily, but thats another post.

Anyways, don't be afraid to leave me a comment.
Mike Bruell is a great tuner and is always up to the challenge of tuning vehicles.
If you would like us to tune your vehicle send me an email.Heres more pics of the celica.

The Celicas "life in pictures"

I've learned so much about cars and engines with the car. It was the best car I could have ever asked for. I bought it in NH from a girl in her 20's, the first thing I did was bodykit it up.

Then I wanted speed, you can see the progression of my mechanical abilities haha.

As it sits now It has had just about every performance part replaced with proper parts, done properly, after years of learning.

My First body kit, The VIS invader front. Which I ran over going off roading on accident.

5sfte 2002 uncharted then.

JDM 3sgte first swap. you can seem my mechanical ability increase.
