Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior people with mod'd GT Celica's

if you have more than Intake, header, exhaust, and pully's what do you have done? (yes, i do mean Performance mod's, so dont say body kit or things like that) please say what it is, and how much it cost. no useless post's please

i'll let you know when i get my Turbo install done

oh yeah, i suppose i could also mention my port and polish... mine was free (traded for some fibreglass work)

But... you should expect to pay around $600 for a good job

just Intake exhaust and ground wires

SS count

Well I payed $150 or so for my TRD SS, and install if you could install the HS header, you can definately install this Its really a great mod.

Also you could check out catcams cams... They're $850, a piece I believe.

LMAO, looks like thats all you got Norway, useless posts.

get a shortshifter and a PFC

I'm eyeballing a PFC for my GT

heres a great way to improve you celica GT...SWAP THE ENGINE!..lol a gt can only go so far ..you know what i mean. with MONEY..and LOTS of it..anything is possible..you coul dmake a celica gt into a freaking 500 hp car..but thats unlikely to the average enthusiast..pretty much everything you listed is what most people would do to get their car maxed ...throw in a turbro..and maybe a fuel managemnent system ..and an efi nx kit and your car will be most impressive.

just looked at the catcams cams... ...next engine rebuild

carbone blue gt were are you getting your Turbo from

Sorry Skoof I gotta bust ya a bit, you got a lot of words there but your not saying anything. Gotta try to learn who your talking to, Norway knows his shit and your talking noob to him. Not a flame.

hahaha

try lookin at mwr - monkeywrenchracing.com...they got some stuff for GTs..more than Intake header exhaust. good luck!

o and how much can a pfc help a GT? i heard its' best for the gts because of lift. gt don't have lift, so how could it give a significant boost? plus it's 900 bucks if i can remember correctly...yeeesh

i bought the Turbo from a friend (garrett t-3 ar-48... not my ideal Turbo, but it was $115... so i can't complain too much) and i'm going to buy the manifold and downpipe from stafford fabrications... and then i'm thinking about going custom with the rest of it...

If i change my mind though, i'm going to just buy the SF kit to go with my Turbo

i fhinking of buying a Turbo for my gt but it wannt be befor next summer wath is the hole price and innstall on the sf kit

only thing you're missing are some sway bars.

I got my TRD sway bars from ToyoGobo (toyota dealer in NC, but they have an E-Bay store) for $319.99 shipped & then it was another $92 for the dealer to install them in 90 mins.

agreed. people always mention power but neglect suspension and better tires. sway bars, coil-overs/ or strut and sping combo, strut bars, lsd, quickshifter,plus you can do some weight reduction...aftermarket brake pads and rotors, etc.,etc...

it just sounded like he was lookin for engine mods. if you look at his profile you can tell he's got plenty of suspension mods that would do him good.

he only has springs and strutbars...you get the most out of cornering with sways,coilovers or struts,tires, and lsd.

LMAFO!!!

u can get flywheel, clutch, lsd little things help

ive got a zex wet kit. and right now im seriously considering a 3sgte swap by the end of the summer. ive already got a shop that is willing to do the work, all ive got to do is find and engine. i was thinking of trying to find and all trac that i could get for like 4 grand and just rip the engine out of that then sell the rest of the car for parts to try to recoop some of the money.

how big of a shot are you running? how much was install? did you install it yourself? how much was the kit? where did you order it from? im serioulsy considering nitrous

nice nitrous is good

you can find a 3s-gte for around $1500... Turbo included...

4K for a 3sgte?? that thing better come upgraded big time..

I HAVE A NX NITROUS SETUP THAT I PAID 500 FOR

ok gen7..i totally get u...maybe i posted too quickly and didnt bother elaborating..but basically the poitn i was making was that..its true..a celica gt can only og so far..every car has its limits..but in theory if you have an infinite ammount of money you can do anything..just like my mechanic sez...you can do ANYTHING you want..as long as you have the funds...ive seen some celica drag cars that ahve done 7.6 secs on 1/4 mile ( import tuner mag about a year ago) and im saying..(it definitly didnt have a GTS or GT engine)...
i took the thread too lightly and didnt really bother giving a legit answer..BUTT..i still stick with what i said at the end..an EF1 kit and fuel managment..thats definitly a mod that would improve Performance...

^^^^ I love this kid!!

LMFAO!!!!

wish I had $$$$$ to spend on my car- all I've got is a CAI Injen and home made catback exhaust- waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

I haven't done this, but with your mods, I would look at the throttle body - the GT has a smaller throttle body than the GTS. They are not swappable, but if you get yours bored to the same size (60mm?)you could probably use a GTS throttle plate. One of the Spyder guys claims a dyno proven consistent 2hp gain just from machining the shaft that holds the throttle plate flat on a stock GT throttle body. (there is thread on NC if you search) With all your other breathing mods (intake, exhaust, haeder) I bet you would see some relativly cheap hp from some throttle body work!

i said buy and all trac for 4K.. as in a whole car. (celica alltrac came with the 3sgte) norway gt, all together the kit plus the window switch and some other things came to about $700. i did the install myself and right now its set at 55 hp its fun
