Help -- Celi 2.0gt Spec Anyone?!?

[kw84]

Hi people,

i'm looking to buy a 2.0 Celica GT and i'm trying to find an accurate spec....so far i've found lots of very...well..."different" information!!

For example, this site ->

http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/da..._id=899&id=9085

...states the psi is 168break but friends of mine are saying that is "bull"?!?

I have only been able to find U.S. model specs of the 2.2gt not the U.K. 2.0gt which i understand is more powerful??

Help someone

:D No *****...dude 173break??!! thanks for that...you have no idea how happy that reply has made me

Ok peeps i guess you guys are guna be hearing a lot more from me in the not so distant future then - i'm defo getting one now and going to kick my mates' fto's asses!! (basically Jap/UK version of Mitsubishi Eclipse for those of you frm US)

Already got Apex-i auto timer on the way from Jap

is it an import or uk car you're looking at ?

[kw84]

Oh...and here is the snag :(

Hmm...well i'm only 21 so insurance on an import would just kick my *****!!

Here's where you tell my UK spec is like 140bhp

[GT4 BOOSTER]

no mate, uk spec is 173 ish bhp i had one a while ago great car , imports run on super unleaded and makes them slightly more powerfull.You could run your uk model on optimax for more bhp.i also think a uk version on insurance may kick yor *****.

[kw84]

Top stuff!! I like the GT4 but insurance will just be silly on one at my age. I think the Celica GT will make a great jap project car. Should get it up to 200break easy.

[kw84]

lol Yeah you're right GT insurance is going to cost a buck or two! OR 1700 to be exact :(

[GT4 BOOSTER]

sports exhaust - de cat and induction kit may take you to 180 bhp , 200 is doubtfull.these cars are slow movers if you dont wind them up in the first 2 gears , get it right and they fly. my gt4 is a rocket and standard too.with a little funds i can make 300 bhp but i find it quick enough , infact its !Removed! great

all for £398 with norwich union. jap import. being older has its advantages.

[kw84]

hmm...well i work for a car performance and wheel shop (www.power-surge.co.uk)

and know some of the lads from another company near us so should be able to get my hands on some parts for ok prices.

Wanting to go cold air intake instead of just induction - maybe AEM

HKS/Apexi N1 exhaust system for it

Apexi S-AFC

Mates tiptronic FTO 180 standard - he has it to about 210

The S-AFC does make some diff mate!!

[kw84]

Thanks for the tech info mate, happy driving!!

team valley , might take a peek in the morning.

Try Adrian Flux...Im 19 and i have been saving for a year.

i final got my 1996 Celi GT last september and insurance for me is £1900 Fully Comp!!!

[GT4 BOOSTER]

flux wanted £ 980 from me , what a joker.

[Tom.B]

You will be able to keep up with an FTO matey...I did in mine against my mates!!! Cant now though he got annoyed and got an RX7 lol :!Removed!:

[Kevstir]

If you go for a UK car your garanteed 173bhp but if you go for a jap imort watchout because they come in 2 formats, ss1 3s-fe engine 140bhp or the ss2 3s-ge engine 173bhp (same as uk) . just pop the bonnet and look at the top of the engine , the 3s-ge what u want will say 2000 twin cam 16 and will have the 3s-ge sticker on the side of the timing belt cover.

Heres a picture of the 3s-ge , i know its dirty but its a very old picture :D

[kw84]

Ahh this is such a tease...I just need to get one now! Patience isn't one of my stronger points!! lol

So are there many Celica meets going on??

[kw84]

Yeah Tom - RX7's are rapid, my mate has one. He didn't even have his turbo's set up properly last time i seen him, still crazy power! Stupid amounts of turbo lag though!!

mate the uk spec is 173 brake its a normal 2.0 l gt runnin a 3sge engine ( that means it is a true externally driven double over head cam) i have just got one and it is costin me £930 a year third party fire and theft thats with three years no claims but i am only 20 thats with norwich union hope that helps mate

doubtful pshh my car is pushing if not slightly over 200 (without nitrous) at moment and i havent even got cams and adjuastable cam geras in yet just wait till jae :D

[kw84]

Ok cool, thanks for the info guys...yeah cat back and cold air intake should give me a good bit more than 5bhp...hoping 15bhp or over...probably heat shield the engine or try relocate the filter to a colder spot if possible. Should be all good.

Oh yeah i'll try norwich union too thanks bud

[Tom.B]

dont forget to get it remapped when you stick some mods on!!!itll help :D
