Introduction Thread: New Gen 6 Celica owner from Somerset / Bristol (U Options

[silverzx]

Hello everyone!

I've just purchased a Gen 6 Toyota Celica 2.0 GT (Import) 16v DOHC.

I've always been into Diesel turbo tuning so this is a completely new area of discovery for me!

I've attached some photos, any comments are welcome!

I also have a couple of questions:

- Whats the engine code for these (so I can do some background reading, waiting for reg doc to arrive so cant check).
- What MPG do these do if driven sensibly.
- What are the most cost effective modifications on a BHP per £1 ratio.

Sorry if these are very commonly asked questions.

Thanks for reading.

Hi and welcome

In the engine bay you'll see a plate on the firewall that looks something like this


or this



Going off your pictures etc, you either have a 1994/5 ST202 Celica: Japanese SS-II or a UK GT. I think its most likely to be a SS-II as the UK spec ones didn't get climate control afaik.

If you want you can post your model code and axle/transmission code to confirm


Has a 3rd Gen 3S-GE looks like this




Not too sure about MPG, but they do alright


After doing your general maintenance, I'd start with allowing the engine to breath better
Intake: cold airbox, cold air intake, or short ram intake (but make sure you have some sort of heat shield)
Exhaust: the extractors are pretty good already, cat-back exhaust system

after that the best gains come from
Uprated Cams and programmable computer

and weight reduction


or as everyone else would say, just put a GT-Four ST205 3S-GTE turbo engine in
