6G Celicas Forums

hey slowcelica94 ... if you want it and have the money for it get it... it's your time and money and you can spend it anyway you want... and how knows if you have a LSD it might help... you never know.... so any one telling you its a waste of money well it's not theirs it's yours... us it for what ever you want..

Not a fair comparison considering it's turbo vs n/a... If you boost a 5.0 V8 the same psi as the 3sgte... it'll make a lot more power because of the very large displacement (actually a 4.6 liter motor)... As far as n/a motors go, Japanese motors typically make a lot more hp per liter... but typically, they also lack displacment and they come from the factory very well tuned. The big american V8's... being very large in displacement, have much less hp per liter, because they don't come from the factory as highly tuned as most Japanese 4 bangers... so there are a bunch of cans of whoop-ass to open up.

that's so true

plus, simple mods on a 5.0 mustang do a lot. ford makes very restrictive exhaust setups. the newer mustangs have 6 cats.


also, dont forget the amount of low end torque v8 engines tend to make.

and if we're talking quarter mile times low end torque will beat high end horsepower. But don't tell vtec owners that.

Thats so right. Whats really funny is that most people don't fathom the fact that they're really the same thing expressed in different ways. In simplified engineering terms.....Torque is the amount of work an engine can do and horsepower is how fast the engine can do that work (in this expression, work could be definied as moving the car from point A to point B). Seems straightforward enough right? On a dyno you don't measure hp. What is measured is torque and the hp is a calculated channel based on torque and rpm. Confused yet? If anybody cares, read this:

I suppose there are better ways to spend ur money then on an LSD, escailly, this early in the game for me. Thanks guys

i alwys knew a little about that but i learned about it in depth in my physics class this past semester.

I personally think it should be illegal to sell a car in the snow belt WITHOUT a LSD.

I have LSD i cant imagine my car without it.... one day ill upgrade it, for now the LSD mr2 tranny is good enough.

LSD makes for a bad ass trip...ohh you mean limited slip differential? Yeah, that's cool

I posted about a LSD but no one is answering it and its not gettin many looks.

But I saw a 5SFE LSD for a 87-92 celica from Phantom Grip and was wondering if that fit onto our GT's.

Probably because Phantom Grip isn't a true LSD unit...

The concept is great... and I've heard it works pretty well tho...
