Hi all will post sum pics and see if they work!

Love the engine and body mods are cool!! Where have you been hiding? And welcome to the forum.

What dash do you have in there? And the shifter? And where are you from? You can put your location when you go to user control panel.

Been flat out workin not hidin! thanks mate!

Its a dash from the toyota chaser front cut,the shifter is a new add its a B&M pro ratchet shifter! look im new to this and hav no clue so il get there slowly ive just moved to the goldcoast QLD Australia!

Very nice how big of a turbo under there? Any times down the track yet? I have a 1j in my 72 as well. Gee same shifter too. I love mine. Toyota tranny still.

Hey Cary
Its a Garrett GT35R only pushin 20psi so its pretty happy! I ripped out the sloppy jap auto which finally died its now running a C4 ford box choc full of American gear, 5000rpm stall and a B&M transbrake with the little red button on top of the shifter! i luv it! With the old auto and low stall i ran 11.97@120mph 2.35 60foot lol

Just out of curiosity how much did you have to "cut" the car to fit the 1JZ
in your RA23? Do you have any photos of the process you might share?

Mate i cant take the credit for getting the 1j in there it was done about 8 years ago by the then celica club of QLD president Matthew Green which if anyone knows of his contact details i would like get in contact with him.

This 1j engine swap into the RA23 was one of the first done in QLD and it was done with no cutting!
Its probably hard to see but everything has just moved forward which means i now have a intercooler as my grill! just about everything from the toyota chaser was used like gearbox which i killed and replaced with the C4, powersteering, abs brakes with commodore discs front and back and digital dash! In the 6 years ive had it ive mainly just finished things interior, paint wheels suspension and power mods.

Very nice! Love the style of this Celica. That engine bay it packed!

this celica look scary, i'm sure she's a beast, do you happen to have a 1/4 mile time of her ?

Yeah look up a couple of posts im hoping for a new PB tomorrow i will b back on monday and will give u a update unless im slower then i will just make something up! The engine bay is packed and it was a mission getting the old twin turbos off and making a manifold to fit the big single!
