Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior New pics of my 304 WHP Celi

Lol

damn nice

crazy beuty

yeah bro...that's AMAZING!!! MY only questions are how is your tranny holding up to that?...I thought the GT tranny's gave out at 250 HP...also...how long was your car down once they started the build?

HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE PROPS to jason a. - no joke..you brought the celica gt on the map. great work..i cant say it enough. you did your hw..you know your shit..and you brought it to a whole new level. dieing to see how much it cost..would love to do the same(or similar) after seeing this.

Everyone is now going to double think about what they heard about the gt celica..oh man..jason...mr alexander...you are my man of the day..if i ever meet you im buying you a beer.. a hooker...and some big blue fuzzy dice for your car! jk...once again..huge props...and thanx for enlightening some other fellow celica lovers.

Thanks skoof for the kind words. I actually got 40 more HP out of this than what I had expected. I never thought I would be able to hit the 300whp mark, I was kinda just shooting for the 300 horse power at the flywheel. But as far as a price goes I have under 10k in it. I didnt expect it to get as high as it did, I just was going to throw the Turbo on stock internals but i spun a rod bearing and the engine had to be rebuilt anyways. The project took about a year, ran into many many problems but all is good now,, VERY VERY fun to drive!!

LOL a friend of mine said you propably gonna break your gearbox in a year but I don't know anything bout it tough I love it but a freakin year on building the engine is a bit to much for me and I don't have 10 laying around anyways

whaoo..a year?..ok...i could ave definitly put down the under 10 gz for it to be done..VERY WORTH IT..BUTT bot having the car for a year..That makes it very NOT WORTH IT..just my 2 cents..tell me it takes a month..and id b a happy fack-er. my car has been in the shop for almost a month now doing interior and some other stuff..and im all paranoid ..i miss my car...im like..oh man...i havent driven stick in a month..im going to forget to put it in gear or put the parking break on ..and its going to roll down a hill.kill 10 people go into on coming traffic and make the 10pm news...(no im not kidding..i seriously have paranoid problems like that..)..2marro when i pick it up im going to be like..ok..dont forget th e-break dont forget the ebreak..lol

Nice Celica !!



304 WHP

one question dude,i notice that the hose on the valve pan cover(crank case ventilation tube) is off and is uncovered,do you run the car like that or the pic was taken when it was off.(normally i just use a rubber cap and block it.nice ride btw and i wonder if anyone noticed the 250 lb/foot of torque! and the torque curve for that matter!
nice man

yeah there is nothing there now, i have a catch can ordered that i am going to run to it, just waiting to get it in

I would sacrifice the money for it but not one entire year without my car :S how the hell do you manage to do that :S

now when is it goint to the track is what I wanna know!

those connecting rods a huge, twice as much meat

OMG...words can not express how i feel

very nice engine. i likey. so, the only suspension upgrade you mention are the bushings. anything else or ya planning on that too?

have ground control coilovers, front and rear hypermotive strut bars. The bushings made a huge difference, i recommend to everyone

I love it... I just drooled al over myself

Tell us when you are going to the tracks

nice ride

still...

so any problems with the tranny... ???

uhh no not yet, ive only had it back for about 2 weeks but it seems to be holding up fine... for now

didya install them yourself or professionally? how difficult or how much? i have the full kit sitting in my closet debating on waiting to get my sways and header so it'd be cool to know... (i only got b&g full coilover kit for now)

very nice~~~~

now ive seen ur car,i wouldnt want to paint my car blue anymore~

I'm sure it's loads of fun cruising around on street tires with all that torque, and no traction.


Cool car nonetheless.

that car isnt carbon blue...its spectra blue or a custom color

WOW, very noice car

I give you my congratulations. I think I could get around 260 WHP NA on my GTS maybe more. I'm looking for mechanics and sponsors that will test this on my ride. If you could do it or know any one that will put up the parts, I'll be more than willing to sacrifice my Celica. Great job on the 300 + HP Celica club. Make that fool Hotchkis look twice as you pass his Celica on the track.

Hehe OWN3D. Kidding.

whoa! thats hardcore!

Thanks

i love it.

Beautiful Turbo

holy shit dude thats awesome 304hp on a celica, thats amazing. congrats. i wish i had a lot of money to put on my celica. want my car fast. damn im jealous lol. nice ride though and have fun with it man. waiting on your times from the tracks cant wait to see them. peace! your celica OWNS!

damn you have a nice car
that celi is fastttttttttt

r you ready for the gt300!!!!! nice setup.

It rox but what I like to kno is if you use it for daily driving and how much fuel you use per mile

How come it comes up with 00 GT-T? shouldnt it be GTS or just GT? Skyline GT-T?

awesome...you are an inspiration! GT represent! Your much work and investment is impressive.

**imagines the thoughts going through your head**

260 whp N/A??

you definately need to raise ur redline..if your Turbo is putting out that power...it hasnt even maxed yet. rev it up some more

um I dont know why it says GT-T never paid much attention to it. Thats the dyno slip from Monkeywrenchracing not familier with the software that they are using for the dyno.

Yes, I use this as my daily driver, Ive put about 1200 miles on it since I got back so far the tranny seems to be fine.. for now that is..

I am getting about 20 mpg if I am drivinig it normally and less than that when I get on it alot.

I had my first 2 kills this weekend. Raced a fully built teg with a t3/t4 Turbo/ rods/pistons/ ect. He dynod at 327whp, took him by 3 cars in an 1/8 mile strech. Also took a 87 IROC camero by about 2 cars... fun fun!!

GT-Turbo maybe?

agreed

wow crazyyyyy, looks likea ton of money

GT-T = GT-TURBO? ..thats probably why it says that..if not..then i have nooo idea
