my gt4 out of the factory (with slightly elevated boost level) should be good for a mid 13 second run. if u had my motor directly swapped into ur car with the lower weight of your car, front wheel drive and good conditions, you may be able to find enough traction to run anywhere between a 13 second and a 14 second quarter, or you may end up spinning your front wheels on the spot.
at this stage if you still want to drive your car on the road you'll have to start looking at your wheels, brakes and suspension, or any use of power could end up dangerous for you. -------------------- Mike W

QUOTE (babi_boi @ Feb 11, 2009 - 12:39 AM)  right now all is stock exept intake, car is running good but it cant compete in the 1/4 mile. so the power goal is just to b able to run in the 1/4 and actually have a 1/2 way decent time.(somewhere around 10-12 sec in a 1/4 when the car is done) it is a 94 and the maintenance seems to b ok but the sparkplug wires are tiny so when i do the tune up i dont really want to put the same tiny stock wires on, do i? and if i get bigger wires how big can i go with out going to big, then with bigger wires am i going to have to get a better distributor or injectors? 10-12 second 1/4 mile in a 6gc, your looking at e153 tranny conversion with a 3s-gte or 5s-gte pushing 300+WHP maybe an MR2 would be a better bet for you my friend! |

QUOTE (babi_boi @ Jul 8, 2009 - 3:07 PM) my goal is to come as close to a 10 sec. car as possible. I would find a front engine rear wheel drive car with a decent sized engine bay and start there. much more practical. However, if your pockets run deep then you could do something like this. No offense, I love my car, but if my goal was to build a quick 1/4 mile car, I wouldn't start with a celica. I'd start with an old F-body pony car( Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, etc.) -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold

do you know how hard it is to make a 10 sec FWD car? i have a 2001 Celica GTS making 545 WHP and its still not in the 10's thats because i was on a drag radial and not a slick and i havent a tranny to support it. once i finish the E153 conversion and put on slicks, im sure ill be in the 10's. its going to take alot to get a 5S-FE in that range. fully built internals, a medium sized turbo, fuel system to support, and engine management.
read up on my threads and Pressure2's threads. i think we will have the most information that you need. and ofcourse the stickies. dont get your hopes up on 10 seconds. that is not an easy feat to reach. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
