6G Celicas Forums

Ive loved GT-Fours of all types for years, so when i sold my old st185 i just took the next step up

Ive been told my car is clean looking, but ill leave that up to you guys to decide

Yes, both JDM GT-T caldinas(3sgte) have it, and RS200 altezza's(3sge)

Damn that guy was dreaming if he thought that combo would get him 200hp at the wheels. 140hp sounds about right, thats around 170hp at the engine.

I'll second that

Really, it wont matter at all that the insulation isnt there anymore. The sun would do more damage than under bonnet heat to the paint.

Yeah, i thought that after i typed it

Only some of the GTR's had 4ws, their model number was st183, as opposed to st182 for the non 4ws

The only 4wd celica is the gt4

The GTR is the JDM 4th and 5th gen celica equiped with the 3sge.
There is also the ZR, the 5th gen that has the 3sfe.

In the 6gc group there is the ss-1, which has a 3sfe, and the ss2 and ss3,which both have the 3sge. Im not too sure what the differences were between the earlier(1993-1997) ss2 and ss3, but the 98-99 ss3 has the beams 3sge and the same spoiler blocks as the GT-4

So your saying that midget supercharger is capable of giving an extra 7.5hp per additional pound of boost? I doubt it, that would mean my old ct20b would be at least 10hp per psi, and it sure as hell didnt do that.

Oh for whoever cares, another mate of mines stock GTZ levin put down 97kw(130hp) at the wheels.

Your dream would be my nightmare i think...

Not my cup of tea at all, but hey each to their own

I think your being a bit optomisic about that power increase. An increase of 15-20hp would be closer to the mark.

Toyota nz have got the black top rated at 118kw(158hp) which is probably closer to the mark. A mate of mine had his ae101 FX-GT dynoed and that put down 89kw at the wheels. Only mod was an exhaust(2.25" i think). With an 18% powerloss thrown in that equals to about 110kw(147hp) at the engine. So i guess you could safely assume that a stock silvertop is somewhere betweem 100-110kw(134-147hp)

Hope that helps

Well my one put down 228hp at the wheels with exhaust, filter and more boost.

My guess a stock one would do about 195ish hp. The drivetrain loss is about 25%

WRX's have been made since 1992. Along with evo's and skylines they are one of the most common performance cars around over here Which is part of the reason why i got a GT-Four in the first place-to have a bit of exclusivity

228hp sounds about right. Thats the thing you get with 4wd

As soon as my engine is run in im selling the GT4 for an RX7, so your not alone

Im not so sure that it would hurt the paint much if at all. The vent would let out a lot of the heat from the engine bay, plus the aluminium doesnt seem to retain the heat much,so you should be right

Actually that timing belt snorkle isnt functional straight from factory either, theres another plate that blanks it off. I'll find out exactly where it is and get back to yous.

The existing air vent probably doesnt have that much effect on the intercooler itself, but as said before if you have a GT4 definitly make it operational, as it lets a massive amount of heat out of the engine bay.

Plus it looks cool when it rains...

you believe wrong

None of the 3sgte's come with forged internals

Sorry if its been said before, but where abouts is the 6gc chatroom? Is it on irc as previously suggested? If so whats the address.

Cheers

yeah i always wave at other 6gc GT-4 owners(dont bother with normal ones, they are everywhere over here), and quite often pull over and talk to them for a while about our cars, its cool

GT-4 is around 3050lbs, and yes comparing an n/a mr2 with a gt4 is silly

1000lbs? Bahahahahahahahahahaha

Do you have a special carbon fiber shell or something?

Its about 250lb at the very most

All good, i beg to differ though. The celica has a too pointy front, and a big rear spoiler accentuates it even more. Maybe look at getting a front lip or spoiler to lessen the pointiness? Worked for me

I personally think that the no rear spoiler look on Celicas is awesome, so perhaps you could do that next, if it appeals to you. Have a look at my profile to see what it can look like

Thats not that much over what i said if you take your weight and the weight of the fuel(around 35kg) out of the equation. My car weighed in at 1500kg with me (90kg) and just under a quarter of a tank(15kg-ish) in it.

Oh and it is alot harder to do a clutch in a GT-4, because the whole engine has to come out first(you cant just drop the gearbox out from the bottom)
