Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance how can i get 190-200 horsepower

I believe the 2ZZ is capable of producing a streetable 260+ NA to the wheels. I have said this many times. I also believe and know for a fact from years ago that the 2ZZ is capable of producing 500 HP turboed without lift of course. It might not be streetable. I figure some of the left over parts from that, a bump in displacement and compression, and along with the other things whether minor or not will add up to that number and more. This all comes from TRD USA. They know everything about head flow, port and polish, cams, titanium engine parts, etc... They built the damn thing and wasn't good enough (turbo engine). It's possible if you have some money. Just for starters if I remember $8,000 for the titanium H beam connecting rods.
If you have the money you can push mor HP than most of the turbo kits for the Celica out there. Of course not on pump gas, mind you.

yea, its the 3sgte. It's easily the best celica out there for this generation. If the body kit wasn't so ugly it would be awsome. but i mean 500hp and awd in our cars would be sweet. So it is possible to do a 3sgte swap. You just need some money.

it's actually around $4k for the ti con rods. and you have it a bit backwards about the lift. the eliminated the middle lobe so that there was only lift. I also don't recall ever hearing that they made 260 whp. Also the 500 whp ultimate celica was actually done with a 3sgte I think.

got any links to where you found your info???

The "14hp gain from the TRD exhaust" also came straight from TRD USA.

TRD makes and exhaust that makes 14whp???!!

ahh...yeah. On the GTS at a specific rpm it gains 14 whp. Just like almost every other manufacture that claims how much horsepower they make.

thats the 3sgte swapped in to the 7th gen. IMO the badest 7thgen will be done soon. I say this cause it'll have around the same whp #'s only it will be using the 2ZZ and not a swap. that is way cooler IMO.

ahh...yeah. On the GTS at a specific rpm it gains 14 whp. Just like almost every other manufacture that claims how much horsepower they make.

if thats the case, I should claim 32 WHP.

that would be sick

TRD makes and exhaust that makes 14whp???!!

I am hoping to be in this range. Here are my mods:

TPR Intake (No fins)
DC Header
TRD Exhaust
Wisco 12:1
Crower Rods
Fidanza Flywheel
AEM Pulley
Apex-i PFC

I'll have numbers in about a month, what do you guys think.

why did you get the 12:1 pistoms unless you're planning on going FI?

^^ N/A I don't think he'll have sufficient power with those mods to be worth revin to 10K. 9K should be ok. but I think there would be too much power loss by 10K. but I havent seen a dyno with the raised compression yte so maybe it'll help enough


SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH! you have it backwards young grasshopper.

I would like to know why you went 12:1 instead of 12.5:1 ?

let us know when you dyno it cause I'd really like to see how the graph comes out.

im guessing he was worried about daily driveability, 12.5 is pushing it, for a daily driver on piss poor 91, if he can get 94 or higher it wouldn't be as bad.

how much HP would just adding the higher comp pistons and rods add? and wouldn't it be a hell of a lot cheaper to go FI than N/A? since for 3-5k you can get almost another 50-100bhp.

PS aren't most of those HP figures for bolt on engine upgrades BHP not WHP? like the injen short ram is supposed to give you like 8 or 9hp but to the wheels it only gives you 4-5hp.

I got the pistons and rods because I spun a couple bearings and had to rebuild anyway. I went w/ 12:1 because I want to run on pump gas, have 92/93 here, and that is what MWR stocks. I would have had to wait for anything higher to be made. I do not have any plans for FI, that is why I went up in compression. I did not do anything to the valvetrain because the cam dies off at 9k, and the oil pump at 9500 or so. I don't plan on reving past 8700. Also, I bearly have the money for this so more expensive TI rods was out of the question, would have had to wait for production too.
