Hello fellow Celica fans

I've just acquired a nice metallic blue 1994 GT which needs a bit of cosmetic tlc to bring her back to full glory. What sold me was the fact it was a Jap import with the GT-4 engine (minus the turbo) which sounds glorious at 5500 rpm woot.gif

Anyway do any of you have any performance figures for this particular model? I've heard 178bhp 0-60 in 7.9secs to 183bhp 0-60 in 7 haven't had the chance to check these things physically but would be interesting to know.

Anyway look forward to spending many hours trawling this forum getting my car up to a nice standard, so hi wink.gif

pictures!!!!yea u have wat we call a 3sge engine,do u have all wheel drive??


think its just front wheel, cant believe how smooth the engine is compared to an FTO (which was the other option) but pulls better and not as tappety laugh.gif

3S-GE engine is about 177 BHP on our petrol, and yeah, 0-60 in 7.9

Not too much more to be got from it really, de-cat, stainless exhaust and induction kit with cold air feed frees up a bit more..

I'm getting mine dyno'd next week so we'll see what you can get out of it.

and welcome aboard mate. smile.gif


Thanks for that mate, K&N induction kit is first thing on the list along with lots of t-cut to get this flaking laquer off (no rust just bloody flaky laquer) how much would the de-cat gain do you think? I really like the original exhaust note actually think i'll only change it if it starts blowing. Its fast enough for now anyway, love the way it takes off at 5000 rpm, well sweet biggrin.gif


Oh and pics will follow don't worry, want to get the bodywork tidied up a bit first though. Its 100% standard at the mo anyway and its metallic blue. has boot spoiler+5 spokes that are super frosty, in fact they have discovered the frosties secret formula frown.gif
