02 Celica GT Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hndsomdevl: you may need a turbo rebuild kit maybe a new turbine or bearings after every approx 60k miles a turbo MUST be rebuilt.... that is most likely why ur getting little to no boost... BStaley: your syncros for 2nd and 3rd gear may be starting to go syncros can be replaced in the transmission... if you dont know what a syncronizer is in ur tranny, to keep it simple it basically helps you shift gears smoothly and they eventually wear down and need to be replaced... hope this helped you both! ~Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanmcdowell Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hndsomdevl: It's not necessarily a power boost. The VVT-i and VVTL-i motors are specially equipped with Variable Valve Timing - Intelligence. That's what VVT-i stands for. The L in VVTL-i stands for Lifters. The boost you are referring to is the performance valve lifters at 6000 rpm. They really kick in at 3500 rpm. The camshaft also angles itself at the point too. The higher the rpm the larger the angle the camshaft is for power. So maybe you have a bad lifter or the angle actuator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
