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

Welcome sir, welcome! Glad to have you aboard.

Do you plan to keep the gt-4 naturally aspirated, or are you going to put the turbo back on?

I think it's a regular UK GT. wink.gif

We kinda have the GT-4 engine without the turbo, but you can't just bolt one on wink.gif

it should just screw on. the inner threading may have been stripped though so you just might need to buy a new knob or shifter but most likely just the knob.

welcome to the site smile.gif

edit: spelling
