Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Is it worth it? EasyC and Lucky please help!

I think he's counting the price of the turbo + the cost of building the motor.

yes, the 6spd would give you a slight advantage IMO.

Ohh he wanted to know about the turbo...

Yeah the price of the turbo would go into that which is $3500 and then I was still gunna have a little bit more engine work done...

how much would it cost just for the swap of a 2zz into a gt? i hear all the talk about the swap but how much is it?

Go TPR with the intake and header. I want to see what the best N/A can do. Good luck

I finally have a supporter! Yay!

I will make frequent updates once I start ordering parts...

i'm goin NA with my GTS, turbo is too much i can use that money for something else.

HEY!!! I supported you first!! Just go back about 12 posts and see...I feel so small Oh well

Sorry, I missed ya... I must have skipped the post cause all I saw was you're wasting money, get a turbo, and do a 2ZZ swap...

I plan on ordering these parts pretty soon here...

TPR exhaust, TPR intake, custom race header, pullies.

Along with that I will be getting a GTS tranny and new clutch and lightened flywheel.

hold the race header idea and go with stage 2 cams and a power fc instead. also don't do a crank pulley. and the other pullies dont reayy help so you can itch that idea too.

hey i support Kyle, his goal is to hit low 13s N/A i think it is totally possible.
in reality he needs sticky tires to lay down the grip. not just a PnP head job, you need to get the works when it comes to machining.

how do those drag racers hit low 9s N/A with like 800hp on hondas? what do they do to get such high hp. thats all kyle really has to do.

he wont hit low 13's he will be lucky to see high 13's

actually it's low 10's, rarely high 9's, around 350 whp, around 1700 lbs race weight, and top skills.

ya thats another thing he would need to do is shed weight, shed weight and sticky tires and 13s become attainable

yup I can vouch for that. 2,340 lbs race weight on drag radials and 172 whp got me in the high 13's

im sorry i dont know much about 7th gens, but how much do they weigh? the GT in particular the GT.

Carbon Fiber hood, Carbon Fiber fenders or FG, Carbon Fiber or FG rear hatch, lexan rear hatch, battery relocation to behind passenger seat, get rid of A/C(any GT's come with no A/C?)

Sorry for the nob question but, What is a 2zz swap?

no one likes answering my questions or something... just wanna know how much the swap costs for the 2zz into gt!

a 2zz swap is when you swap in a 2zz-ge engine into the GT, basically taking the engine from a GTS and swapping it in... and it depends on the price.. how ever much you can get an engine for
