Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance na or turbo

i was wondering.. if i go NA with my GTS by switching out parts i/h/e and doing inturnals pistons ect. if done properly does that extend the life of the car? (putting in new parts)

where too a turbo puts more stress on parts pushing the engine to the limit?

i want my car to last like my integra which has 180k miles.. and is still going strong..

Doesn't really matter what you do to it... it's how you drive it that effects engine life!

change the oil every 3000 and clean injectors once a month and dont drive it like a jerk and a toyota will last forever

some people have near 200k on their celicas

how many miles does everyone have on your Celicas? How do you drive?

i have 30k i rarely red line i bought the car at 28k and i red lined about 4 different times.. im scared that every time i red line the car it shortens the life.. is that true?

if you're engine hasn't heated up, yeah it can hurt. as long as it's not constant, it shouldn't shorten the life by that much. btw, i have 14,112 on my car (bought at 12,500). i red-line probably more than i should.

80K on mine.

you can get a nice turbo setup for around $5k and have around say 240 - 260 whp depending on how much you want to boost.

thats between $19- $20 per hp

go N/A you'll be lucky if you can hit 190 whp for about $3100
thats $16 per hp and you've got 50 - 70 whp less.

I've done most of the better mods and I've got 185 whp. highest I've heard of is 190. most people would get about 180.

I have 74K on mine and i've redlined only a couple of times because it's an auto. but toyotas last forever.

I beat the crap outa mine but I doo all the maintenance accordingly. still runs great.

Yeah the main thing is that you should take care of the car and keep the maintenance up!

i have 32000 and i rarely pass 5k rpm when i drive hard but i have redlined a couple times, maybe 12 in 10000 miles and when i do its just to the redline never past it, no problems at all with the engine just my maf sensor and tsb belt tensioner. my only real problems is with my car being too damn low

i have close to 95,000 now..only time i redline is when i'm racin..not that often. haven't had a problem yet. *knocks on wood*

haha but your one of the fastest N/A celica out there Mike..

i gots 155,000

someone here named Ikin has like 225,000

yes, illusive did beat my 1/8 mile by .02 last night though. so he's technically faster although my mph is still higher

red lineing is bad? i go to 8200 sometimes.. is it okay if yu just stay their breifly.. and only when the engine is warm?

ive got 87k on mine, and i redline more than i should . like everyone else said, keep up matenence and stay on top of the game and it will last longer then you'll probably want it.

i have a 1990 5th gen gts with 198,000 on it, and i have no problems at all

240k, its me

i bought my car at 58,000. i have it at 70,200 now and i red line it every time i drive i make sure to keep up on the maintanence

so..redline isnt really bad for ur car as i heard??as long as engine is warmed up?? btw i got like 4700 miles on my car..i dun usually redline..drive in the streets more like im auto x ing..and onlyr redline when i drag

Can we use Red line fuel injector cleaner for this??
