Celica Forums General Discussion General Difference between the years of Celicas 7th gen

Hey people keep talkin about some difference in 00 models and other models and something about how high they rev explain plz .. thnx

i dont know exactly but i think 01 has a lower rev limit then the rest. i have an 00 and i know its not that one.

00-01: Basically the same, except GT gets bigger front brakes in 01

02: Action Package introduced. Lower rev limiter (7800) and wider shift gate on GTS

03: Restyled bumpers and tails, darker gray interior, JBL stereo. GTS gets drive by wire throttle, restored rev limiter, optional HIDs

04: New Action Package. HIDs optional on all Celicas.

05: CD changer standard on GTS

so wat is the rev limit for 00 gts and say 02 also what if i have a 03 matrix xrs engine in my 00 gts celica??? wat then

00-01 and 03-05 are at 8400 RPM, 02 is 7800. Switching motors won't do anything. The limiter is in the ECU. If you've got an 02, you can swap in an 00-01 ECU (you'll also need to switch to the matching knock sensor).

action package came on the 01's too.

On the 01, the "Action Package" was known as the TRD body kit. later known as the "Action Package" upgrade. UPGRADE = more money.

(correct me if im wrong)

EDIT: TRD Mechanical body kit.

well i got a 00 gts with an 03 2zzge engine from matrix so i should be alright

The intake manifold is different on the Matrix. Its throttle body inlet is angled upwards, so you'll need a Celica's intake manifold to use an intake with it.

^^^i think thats what he did

lol yea its kinda in my car now and running so i know i had to change intake manifold i stil have my old one it was good theres other little parts that needed changing but im not going to get into that

did you swap the ECU from the celica into the new motor?

00-01: 7th gen. celica with orange gauges and green ac and stereo backlight.
02: adjusted shift gates, low rev limiter. and maybe DRL was added this year, sunroof change.
03: bring back the old ecu, drive by wire, black interior, jbl speakers and stereo (different stereo, newly designed), orange interior. the roof color change, HID optional, power antenna...

The pre 04-05 action package was different from the 04-05 action package right?

^^^Correct Trunks

o0o Ok cute girl. ^

Pre 04-05 was known as the TRD Action Package

04-05 action package is known as the Tsunami kit.

tsunami is toyota's version not toyota-racing-development's verion.

hence, people should not refer it as the new TRD kit, just the new AP kit (ap = action package)

i dont think i changed my ecu with new engine swap , kept the celica one

Theres a lot more differences.
