B-R-T

It's still a Supra to me Like tC is a Celica Name doesn't change anything ;)

Yep

Who needs them anyway.. Its just a car..

I learned to drive in a 1987 BMW 324d (yep, the diesel one) with a manual It was fun. It got even better when I learned how to drift ;) Can't switch to automatic now though.. Automatic feels like a manual with a very slippery clutch disc to me

You better ask him, because I was there only for engine and turbos Although its strange, that it knocked on 1.3 bar. We datalogged a run and datalog didnt showed any lean spots..

I dont recommend you to get those cheap headers, because they are not going to last long. Make sure you are getting stainless steel header, not the chrome coated piece of crap.. Because after awhile chrome will wear off and whole header will look awful. Not to mention that that crappy coated header will not transfer heat as the stailess steel one will. More heat is trasfered through exhaust walls, less energy exhaust gas has, so less backpressure is created. About the twin exhaust.. Well it's actually good only if you have two separate 2-to-1 headers. Like - one for two cylinders and the other one for other two cylinders. And each of these headers has a separate pipe. If you have a stock 4-to-1 manifold then its.. no go ;)

correction about GT-Four. 3042 lbs, 255hp @ 0.7 bar of boost (quite low) with 3S-GTE (2000cc Twin Cam 16 Valve) But yeah, 1991 version was somewhat heavier. Four-eye was lighter

But the K&N will be in a box with only a small hole in it.. That weapon R thing will have more filter surface exposed to air. Hotter air is less dense, so it has less oxygen molecules in it. The K&N will be limited by the air intake hole of the air filter box. So it will get less of densier air. Its your choise which is better. More air with less oxygen or less air with more oxygen

I like V8 on Mercedes-Benz G55 0-60 in five with something. Although I hate SUVs.. And large engines. I like my friends Maserati Biturbo 2.5 V6. Its an old car (1985) and it's not really powerful (187hp), but we pumped it with more boost, so now it has 380hp @ 1.2 bar. It knocks when we pump more. But, damn.. 380hp feels really good..

And I dont like anything larger then 2.5L

It's not too hard

My bad

And a broken conrod in extreme cases ;)

Actually its easy because older civics and integras (OBD0 and OBD1) has a slot on the ECU board for an eprom. You can put a pre-programmed chip (which costs about $4) with tunned fuel and ignition maps, VTEC switch rpm and other settings. You dont have to buy programmable ECU or do the wiring. Although eprom programer costs about $300. Some guys made a socket for real time tuning. Thats why its easy. I'm not talking about "ricers" who doesnt even know what the VTEC or DOHC is

2JZGTE is to big for my car. And my car is FWD. 2JZGTE was built for RWD and I'm not sure they have a transmission for FWD. GT-S engine will be fun, but my driving style is not for this engine. Because there's an issue with this engine.. If you get it over the rev limit (8200 I believe) oil pump will be toasted. For now I'm staying with my 4E-FE Just looking for forged pistons and conrods from 4E-FTE If we talking about fantasies, I have a really sick one:) I want to put another 4E-FE (1.3L) engine in the back, to power the rear wheels. Of course its very complicated, because it will be 4x4, not AWD. Thats why it will have handling issues. I think this could be solved by putting speed sensors inside the fornt and rear wheels and programming ECU to retard ignition of one of the engines depending on the speed of wheels. Although sensors should detect resistance not speed of the front or rear wheels, but thats more complicated..

You better start reading

They weren't heavy.. Supras were though.. Celicas always were lighter. Thats why they had only 4 cylinder engines.

Yeah, if you just slam a turbo on you will end up with melted pistons

Your link isn't working either :P I have my opinion about how the car looks like. I prefer a powerful sleeper over the dressedup loser ;)

Theres always a turbo. You can get a cheap kit for about $800. The turbo it comes with is a piece of crap, but you can start with it. Learn how the thing works. And then get an expensive one (like Greddy, HKS etc.) when you know what you actually need. And if you want to go big I suggest to get a Megasquirt. It's a do-it-yourself injection and ignition controller (for about $150 - $200 depending on version of hardware). There are a lot of documentation about how it works. And its common for almost all ECUs. This controller is doing everything what the expensive bad-ass ECMs like AEM does. But its kinda harder to start to work with. And you have to do all the wiring yourself. Check it out: http://www.megasquirt.info/ I hope this one will work

GT-S (~180 hp) wasn't the quickest. The ather car you mentioned is actually the quickest and its GT-Four (hp varies but its 200+, fifth gen celica GT-Four had 225 hp) not GT-S. Hood scoop is there for a reason.. GT-Four has a front-mounted air-to-air intercooler. But you are right about one thing though. 2ZZ-GE is a really awsome engine

I dont see any confusion. She didnt mentioned ignition..

Celicas that I like : fourth generation 86-89 (the oldies), fifth generation 90-93 (you should get this one, because it is cheap enough, but it's considered good) and sixth gen 94-99 (I like those. One of those will be my next project car. If you have enought money, thats car for you). The seven genaration was a really ugly car.. But it wasnt the last celica. Last celica is Scion tC. I dont like civics either.. If you like Celicas you can check MR2s too. The MK2 or the second generation 89-99. It has its engine in the rear and RWD. It's a fun car. But turbo version is not for inexperienced driver..

Actually I spent only $140 for a used tranny. And changed it myself.. Thats why I like older and smaller engines, they are cheap and easy to work with. Although its kinda sad that I dont have any valve control system.. Like VVTi..

It's the same engine (2GR-FE), but the one on GS350 (2GR-FSE) has twin injection system. Satndart multiport + direct injection. On low and medium load ECU uses both incections to make more precise A/F mixture. On high load it uses only the direct injection for maximum power. Actually I heard rumors, that the new 2008 Supra (which should be released in October 2007) will use 2GR-FSE engine.
