The turbo should be on the passenger side connected to the turbo manifold. Basically, if you're looking at the heatshield straight up, it'll be on the left side. The turbo manifold is what people will often call the turbo header. Here's a pic of my car. His should be on the opposite side under a hose or something:

I thought the MR2's had the engine just flipped around. So that it would be in the back left corner.

OH NM!! You're talking about an MR2... lol. Ok, if you're standing behind an MR2, yes, the motor will appear backwards. I thought we were talking about the GSX. My bad. |

Well, check to make sure, cause you don't wanna get hustled. And a GS can take an ST as well. An RS might be good competition for you. I raced another friend who had a GS and SHE beat me. We used to go to the tracks together. But if you're rolling on 14's and your friend is on heavy 19's, you MAY have a chance... if it is in fact a GS. |

Bigger wheels cover more ground while gears are moving slower than usual...more room to move up.

If they are heavier it will take more energy to get a 19" rim to a certain speed as opposed to a 17" rim, but per rotation your covering more ground with a 19" rim assuming the total diameter including the rubber is larger. So a gsx with 19"s will come out faster in each gear compared to a gsx with say 16"s, but obviously the car with the smaller rims will accelerate quicker. |

Not to check if he has turbo, but to see if it's really a gsx...you could have him do a burnout and see if all 4 wheels are burning up?
And couldn't u hear when he was driving if the turbo was spooling or not? And I've taken a few 1st gen eclipse gst's in my celi...and hand any dsm their ass in my rex. This post has been edited by snadman: Apr 6, 2004 - 12:26 AM -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

So by your example of the two GSX's, in a long distance run, where the two cars reach top speeds, the GSX with the 19" wheels would benefit more? But if it were a short distance run (i.e. 1/4 mile) the GSX with the 16" wheels would win, correct? The reason why I'm asking is because when I used to hit the tracks, I would run 16.6 to 16.7 on the 1/4 mile (16.545 was my fastest). However, once I got the new wheels, I started running 16.9 to 17.2. |

when will people get the fact that our celica is simply slow?
I keep on seeing thread after thread about people wanting to race cars that are a lot faster than ours excluding the 3sgte gt4 people. What's next? Some guy is going to challenge a viper?
