Celica Forums General Discussion General gts and tsport

ok i know a lot of peopl have talk about these things... but i just wanted to know why does the t-sport have 192hp vs the gts 180hp? im just trying to find every little bit of hp i can get you know?

It actually has 200hp and here is the specs on it I copied over from the other celica forum:

"This is a special Car, only 1200 ever made. Stripped down to the shell and rebuilt from the ground up by Toyota Racing Development (TRD). Suspension pickup points and roof pillars strengthened, body seam welded. The six speed gearbox has a TRD helical LSD. The engine is modified, using lighter pistons, re-profiled camshafts, lighter valves and a lighter flywheel, pushing the 1800cc all alloy engine power to over *200ps/140lb ft (conservative TRD figure) Torque, with terrific throttle response, making this lightweight car surprisingly quick.
The suspension is TRD sportivo; shocks, springs, roll bars and bushes. The Interior is retrimmed with blue alcantra seats and door panels, A sports SRS steering wheel, TRD Quickshifter and TRD instruments are installed with 240kph clock, TRD 17" wheels are installed with trd cat back exhaust."

i wonder if there is a tsports celi here in the US. would be intresting to see it go race a modded rsx-s.

You are all wrong. GTS (180 hp)= USA T-Sport (192hp)= Europe

TRD Sports M Celica (200hp)

Yeah it's the Sports M, the badass 7thgen lol.

Hmm, there was a USA T Sport?! I never knew that. I always thought it was just the M Sport.

Learn something everyday.

so its just gts bulit up a little bit? i wonder where i can get that m-sport engine?

^^Japan. And good luck with that too. Rosh, there wasn't a US T-Sport. It's a GTS in the US, a T-sport in other some other countries. The TRD Sports M was available, I believe, only in Japan.

combatc87, I didn't know that until I looked it into it further. I found out by browsing the UK Toyota Website, that you can buy one and it has 192hp. I still would like to know, like gts_drew what gives it that extra 12 horses.

The TRD Sports M is still the ultimate factory Celica.

all it is is a modded gts so what the big deal?, yeah it would be nice to get it from the fac like that

Wonder why TRD dosn't sell those lighten pistons, valves and reprofiled cams!!! I would want them!

^^ what he said. the M sport is the 200 hp model and it comes with an LSD, spot welded A frames and other various goodies that you cant get unles syou have a valid M-sport VIN #.

thats the celica most related to the Type R integra. but nobody likes to mention it cause it would own a type R any day

what gives the T-Sport its extra power is a less restrictive exhaust system, specifically the cat. due to US emissions laws, the cars have to be brought up to certain standards, so to make them legal some things have to be change.
