i dont know about no tubors, the only tubors i know are potatoes...which is also a type of Turbo,which is what i assume you meant to say

You fail.

A) Your parents have to buy your Turbo.

B) It's auto. Have fun getting it replaced when it breaks (which it will).

C) You can't spell the word Turbo. Honestly...

I would tell your parents to spend their money on some English classes for you, rather than a go-fast setup that WILL cause your problems that you will not know how to fix down the road.

jeeeezzzz louise...give the guy some credit. Man if he can talk his parents into getting a Turbo then he must be good. What'd he say?: "With a Turbo I can get to and from school faster so I can spend more time studying!!! lol" or "I'll give you 50% of the money I make from street racing! Deal?" hahaha... or "You want grandkids, right? I'll finally be able to get a girlfriend since she'll like my fast car and overlook the fact that I'm ugly and can't get any otherwise!!!" j/k on the last one I don't know if you're fugly! Good Job.

Yeap, i am taking English Classes, since i am from China, But would you forget me for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope you are kidding. spend your money on looks considering your car is an AUTO GT... it wont be worht and will cause you problems im sure

now say he got a stick gt.. still the same delemma huh? he'll encounter problems in the future?

Hey Chinaren, convince your parents to get you a stick conversion AND the Turbo kit. Tell them you need it for the Turbo. YOU CAN DO IT! The man has skills...

Ok, I'm trying to help you out Chinaren:
List of items to negotiate for:

1. Engine Build w/ pistons and sleeves and rods, valves, etc.
2. Stick conversion with C2gas bulletproof tranny.
All because of ...
3. C2Gas Stage 3 kit.

It's a one package deal sort of thing...you need everything.
Ignore the haters, you're rich and don't be ashamed of it and all that money will one day be yours.


Oh and don't worry if you blow your car up...they'll get you a new one.

i figured a gt would be better for a Turbo conversion, lower compression ratio.

thank you so much "QTRMLR_1", appreciated your help. are there any other Turbos out on the market?

Good going.

Hope all works out man but I would use that money and spoil it on something else. Bodykit, Rims, acc.

turbos are just known to have some problems...manual or auto..auto i just think more

i was under the impression that autos were slightly better with Turbos over manuals since they are able to stay in boost longer?

and if you rebuild the internals, lower the compression down into the 8 range. that way you'll be able to get more charge into the cylinders.

stop picking on him guys, at least he is trying to learn english, i would say go with c2power stg1 kit sence you have a stock car and shit, i have heard of c2power and so far he is okay, but he is over seas. other Turbos are the xs Turbo charge, but they only have them for GTS, then there is SF but i heard they take for ever to ship it to u, thats all i know. you should just get ur custom made i guess search around ur area and see if any one can custom make you a Turbo, a friend of mine was doing that but havent heard from him, good luck and if you need anything else p/m me (private message)

common guys. auto gt w/ Turbo charge can smoke a lot of car, tat including GTS 6-speed, and also i heard someone said Turbo a gt is better than Turbo a gts, tat wat i heard. i don't know,

I'm chinese...and what, at least chinaren is tryin, so SILVER stop being a jealous fuck and stop raggin on this guy considering your car is bone stock...is that good enough english for you SILVER???

Yea man why do you have to pick on people. We dont pick on you. Your the type that makes Americans look bad.

Cause hes a prejiduce bastard!

haha, i hate the resident asshole:

Before you get all mad, you will notice that I nit-picked his english skills BEFORE he said that he was from China. All that I knew was that his location tag says Washington, so get over it.

Auto GT-T doesn't make sense though.

stock doesn't make much sense in my book either...but you're not my friend...hahaha...so I'll let you stay that way...

My car is a car. It takes me places that I need to go. It's fine how it is. I have other things to spend money on.

The ratio is slightly different, not that big a difference for forced induction from the engine guys ive talked to

i would rather have a gts swap with a power fc than a Turbo.

gts swap, with PFC, AND Turbo = GO.

I don't know if I should laugh at him or YOU!

Wei, convince your parents that you need a manual transmission conversion to extract optimum Performance from your Turbo. Oh yeah, and learn English, but keep the accent. American girls love foreign accents!

Wei, at least you're better looking than William Hung. I don't need to look at you to know that.

Hey: You guys, thank you so much for all your help and advises , i will surely consider them, and decide what i am going to do with all that money. I think for me, look of the car is not that important, speed is what i am looking for. But if i still have some money left after my engine swap or update, i will put them into the look of my car. Again i am very appreciated your ideas!

don't forget to upgrade your clutch and get an LSD.

why dont you sell your car and get you a faster car?
say like...a used 6speed GTS? or RSX-s?


Turbo Auto GT or GTS doesnt make sense.

comedy. if done right he won't need a faster car, but yeah I'm telling him to still push for a stick.

^^^ Do feel think an Turbo auto GT would put up a fight against maybe a stick z or srt4?? I would like to Turbo my car, but I have an auto as well?

ya i was considering getting a Turbo for my auto gt celica as well..would like more speed into my celica..

LOL I don;t get the fuckin point bout auto's .. so half of the US citizens doesn't know how to drive stick or what ? in Holland you can't get you're license driving an auto.. only if you have some illness or some special reason why you can't drive stick.. then you'll have to ask permission from the national govermant to go on a special automatic car exam wich gives you a special license wich states explicitly that you are only allowed to drive an auto.. if they catch you in a stick they impound the car and give you a fine for NOT having a license to drive that car.. what's the deal with auto's :S :S :S :S :S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S I can understand if you're like 50 and retired and are not into speed or Performance or anything just into lazyness and luxurary... then I can imagine getting an auto.. but why the hell will you get an auto if you want Performance in the first place :S maybe you guys should think 10 more secconds (after the 5 in wich you decided to get an auto) to think about why you should get an auto or why not.. or why a stick or why not.. then you wouldn't have had this problem.. also those people converting an auto to stick.. come on guys.. that's like buying a plane and afterwards think I'd rather had bought a boat.. so let's convert my plane to a boat :S come on :S same thing :S THINK before you buy ! sorry If I may sound rude

^^

well sure, but I wouldn't stop at the Turbo and forget about all the little things you can do that add up to make your car faster...like 9 lb rims for example.

So many Turbo GT. I have GTS and so far all the trubo kits have had problems most liekely cause of the compression ratio. So if someone doesn't figure it our soon I gonna have to go GT and trubo the mutha. But I dont think i could live without lift!!!!!!!!!!So screw GT i staying GTs. I'll just have to wait for a good kit.

Well SaddY, here we have the freedom to choose what we want. Our government doesn't control all aspects of our life. Some people choose to buy an automatic, and since you have obviously never been in one you have no idea of the advantages.

You can drive fast without spilling your beer!

You just have to find low compression pistons. You are shooting for about 8 to 1.

What do they call that drink? Canada Dry-ve?

^^^

LOL

if you have an auto you should get a supercharger cause it will help more down low but since they don't make a supercharger for the gt with out having to get a different hood with they don't make. just get NO2 or the Stratford Turbo

Lift/VTEC and whatnot are NOT compatible with high boost Turbo applications. Lift will mess up the powerband, imagine it hitting three times as hard, but dissapearing in half a second. You'll go from lift engagement to the next gear instantly. It's better to have a linear and predictable powerband than one which slams at the end.

^^ all right a GT advocate SPEAKS UP! Come on people let's get the old debate rolling and settle it once and FOR ALL CRYING OUT LOUD!!! Yeah you know who you guys are.

so what the fuck, i don't understand any of you guys, would a Turbo work on a gt-auto? and if not what the hell would fuck up in the car and would there be any way to keep it auto w/ a Turbo and drive perfectly fine?

they make GTI's Turbo and Stock, as well as SRT-4's so why wouldn't we be able to do it w/ a celica?

Don't know if you or anyone here but me noticed, but you spelled Turbo WRONG! you spelled it TUBOR IT'S Turbo!...N e way congrats on ur Turbo purchase that is tite let me here some Turbo sound clips!...

you're a bit late there virtuous_one, they already gave him trouble about his spelling...

and hkysk8r86, you can put a Turbo on an automatic car and it most likely won't kill anything.

You'll notice I already got slammed for mentioning that, although I didn't do it quite as nicely as you.

In fact I've had 2 auto's.. so I know what I'm telling you even had 2 american auto's.. had a Mercury Villager (got from my mom when she got a new one .. and a El Camino wich I restored to top condition and sold right after)
I also have been a pro motorcycle driver in The Netherlands.. so I know what speed is about

Do you want a medal or something? Your not getting the point! I got my auto because it was a demo and saved 3 grand off of what I would have paid. No body here was asking for your comments of why we have autos and that we should have gotten a stick in the first place. This thread is about Turboing an auto.

LOL...with a Turbo auto GT you might be able to keep up with me in the 1/4 mile. if your gonna pay the money to get Turbo then it would be dumb not to do a tranny conversion to manual. and while your doing that you might as well get the 6speed tranny.

300HP auto is still faster than a 140HP standard.

I AGREE!

You guys help me a lot here, keep on coming. I need some more of your different ideas about my project!!!!!!! Thanks again...

if you are filthy rich, do the full engine swap and tranny swap with the Turbo, otherwise just Turbo the auto, you'll still be faster than most cars on the street out there.

and for those of you hatin' on autos, maybe you should think about, maybe these people got their autos cus they got their car from their parents(like me) and you know how old people are

i've never heard of a single Turbo that will boost a GT up to 300 hp...but i do belive, say a 217 whp sf Turbo gt auto can kill a 140hp 5 speed...those 4 speed autos got large gears and with all that boost...it may have the advantage over a lower hp manual tranny.

Gotta get me one of those Tubors.

Maybe Not a Stock auto , but more then 50% of drag cars are now using automatic setups. With new interventions like Audi's setup in there Turbo. The Auto's are calculating quicker shift times then then the best manual drivers. If he can afford a Turbo , I'm sure he can afford some type of management system for his auto.

i think you should buy me a Turbo too so we can compare the differences with a gt and a gts..

Haha

I once heard that a gt manual could rape a gts auto... Get the drift? Auto_ (how can I say this nicley) are pointless? My opinion is that you willn't get the gains that you would be expecting. Maybe a supercharger would be better for an auto? Save your money boys and get a 3S-GTE engine swop!

Dont Spill The beer is right!

300HP auto is still faster than a 140HP standard. [/quote]


HAHAH! Read ^^^ GT Manual vs GTS Auto! 140hp vs 180hp And Still The GT Wins.. Try It Somtime.. I Drove My GF Freinds Celica GT Auto.. I Thought I Might Die It Was Going So Slow.. It Has No Power Low End Or High End. Get A Stick!

you do realize the GTS has about the same power (actually a little less torque) as a GT up until it hits lift.
so a GTS auto wouldn't redline all the way so it would be a close race.

but for a car with all that power throughout the powerband; it won't make that much of a difference if it is auto or manual.

SF Turbo Auto Dyno

Ok i took my car to the dyno today (SF Turbo Automatic Transmission), and it was running lean just like i thought it was. But i ran the car at 6 psi and the lowest my a/f ratio went was 13.3 at around 6000 rpms. It idles at 15.9 and at around 4000 rpms the a/f ratio is at 14.3, But i managed to make 205.9 whp and 172.9 tq. What should i do, get a refund on the SF fuel system and get a GReddy E-Manage and bigger injectors? or try to fix/tune the current fuel system?

Heres a dyno sheet for you guys too

well looks like the gains from that are still better than the TRD supercharger.

but with the A/F mixture going all screwy like that, maybe a powerFC is in whoever posted that's future.

Ill keep an eye for an update on that

since it looks like you're getting an SF Turbo as well. are you doing a full engine rebuild, or are you gonna use stock internals?

I'm gunna try run it stock at 6psi so i don't even risk blowing anything.

Than after i get abit more money im gunna get crower rods and forged pistons, so i can run like 12psi.

But from what i've been reading i could prob. boost it to like 8psi and still get away with it without hurting the engine all that much but i'd rather take it on the safe side.

But in the end ill end up buidling the engine up more mainly pistons and rods so i can run a high psi.

yeah being safe is a lot cheaper than blowing stuff up

Yeah, I'd rather run abit lower than have the engine blow on me..

I don't think warrnetly covers that

From what I have read, waste gate malfunctions are common. If you are running stock compression, it would be instant death for the motor. I'd recommend waiting until the motor is built.

waste gate off the SF kits? I Figured out that Crower Rods are the way to go but what do you recommend for pistons?

Wiseco Pistons. You can custom order any compression ratio your heart desires... Piston Rings: totalseal.com . Great ws name, huh? Lisa Kubo, that FAST female racer, uses http://totalseal.com piston rings.

Thanks For Your Help! I'll Probly Buy My Pistons And Rods This Week! What Would Be The Desired Ratio For Me To Order To Run The Highest PSI And The Most effective?

Thanks
