TrumanPriest’s 1990 Toyota Celica

This is Factory AWD and Turbo. Toyota Celica All-Trac turbo, one of 1700 ever imported (from 1990-1993)- that's approx 34 per state EVER to reach the US!  These are ALL Toyota Body Parts (Many from Specaial RC edition not available in the US ).  It took me 8 years to find one in decent shape and decent price range and then two years to drop a new motor in and get her all perfect. I hope you like it.  A lot of time energy and money went into this car.Please Make sure to leave me some feedback!

----------------------------------Update 11/21/07 A bit of a bitter sweet update here. She idles like a kitten (a big mean kitten, but a kitten) we had an uncapped vac line that went to the ac idle up control.....duh. However while trying to figure out why my temp gauge and tach and climate controls and reverse lights wouldn't work I discovered that the ecu wire harness needs to be repaired... as well as some ignition wires and so kick panel connections....oh boy. ----- Update 11/11/07 She Runs! Not well, seeing as I have the wrong O2 sensor on her. Right now as you can tell she is running very rich and stalling out, but I should have the correct O2 sensor on her by next weekend and then she should be running pretty. Also She is dumping straight to atmosphere in Pre Cat, so She won't be that loud when finished. Here are some videos via Streetfire.net . .

-----UPDATE 10/21/08She is done!  I have a few minor toys to install like my HKS twin power ignition amplifier and my HKS FCD and my Greddy Catch can but eh it's always an ongowing project with cars right?  She is running great and handles like a dream!  It's taken me well over a year but it was definately worth it!  If curious she is CT20B powered now running like a dream at 12psi (for the moment-more boost to come) :)

Rev Issue and Smoking Turbo . First Try firing up my All-Trac with a new JDM 3S-GTE swapped in. . 2nd try Firing up my All-trac with it's new JDM 3S-GTE . 3rd try getting my All-trac to fire up with the new JDM 3S-GTE in it. . . . Update 10/17/07 Well she is almost done. I have to drain the old fuel, hook up some connections and get the intake/AFM installed and the alternator and she will be ready to fire up. Some current pictures; more of course on page 2.

-----UPDATE 10/10/08It's ALIVE!!! AH HA HA HA HA! repined the jdm plugs after amputatiing all of the hacked wireds from the USDM harness- Put the newly fixed usdm harness back in the alltrac and voila! She runs beautiful! In idle I hit 10psi @ 7000rpms- when that ssqv went off I thought I was going to loose it! she still smokes for the moment, but this week the ct20b goes in so that will take care of that! I drove her around the block with my girlfriend and it puts you back in your seat. Damn it was a great feeling. I haven't stopped smiling since. FINALLY I can put the interior back together and get her on the road! I'll post some more completeld pics up after the ct20b is in. I may also buy a greddy e-manage for a couple hundred dollars complete with all the optional sensors, etc. WHOOO HOOOO!!!!-----Update 02/18/08I realized I haven't updated this in a while.... been very busy at work. I have a few little pieces of information to share. Did a compression test a few weeks ago and I hit 175 clean across the board- so that's pretty perfect. Also the plugs don'e have any oil on them so that means that my smoking problem is in fact the turbo. Little bitter Sweet to know what the problem it now- but to know at the same time that rebuilding isn't cheap. Tossing around the idea of a ATS CT27 or a CT20B.... The idle issue I may finally have figured out the solution to. I'm thinking it may be either my Injector resistor packs or my ignition coil (I thought I had replaced that, and turns out I didn't) so hopefully in the next couple of days I'll have a joyous update on that.-----

Update 01/07/08 Pictures say a thousand words. Baby is pissed. I think my exhaust side turbo oil seal is toast. and I have a brake line leaking and my new battery is leaking and she doesn't rev worth a crap- hit's 3200 then cut's then 3200 then cut's etc... In other news I have 550cc injectors on the way. :)

-----Update 9/19/07A few pics on page 2 from yesterdays progress. Made a bracket for the RHD steering dust cover to work with LHD. Got the brakes all hooked up (mmmmm....stainless red brake lines...) and bled, so I can stop now. The previous owner broke off one of the ABS inserts on the drivers side wheel and it took a LONG time with a lot of "precision hammering" to get it out and then some good dremmeling to get the tube clean to get the new one in.... Got the accelerator and throttle cable installed- NEVER, NEVER, NEVER take that pedel off! Got the front swaybar installed. The Tie Rods were installed. The windshield wipers and motor were installed. There were other things but I can't remember them right now. Whatever else, the motor is ready to go in. Whooo Hoooo---------------

Update 9/12/07 My 3" Dump pipe and 3" Flex Pipe came in the other day. The Dump pipe looks pretty good on there. Also spent some time cleaning the cool side of the turbo. Not gonna mess with the exhaust side. So now, besides a few minor things- this is how the motor is gonna look. It looks more *Bling* than it is- the flash on the camera set off the sparkle.
