no worries man. you could get a header by Hotshot, that's good for about 8whp

that's pretty much where it ends with the GT.

**jeffsetsfire23** · 11-19-2004, 08:02 PM

what is my intake and exhaust worth in whp? i have injen short ram and cat back

CONTROL ONE · 11-19-2004, 08:04 PM

i would say together, about 7-8whp.

like i said, there is NO magic secret about the GT that will unlock all this hidden hp unfortunately

the 1zz is a reliable engine with bolt-ons... its meant to stay that way.

i think we spelled it out pretty good

STOP NOW. you will NOT get any more performance out of the gt than what you already have

its a stable engine. you can modify it with typical bolt-ons (intake, header, exhaust) and it will take to the mods okay and give it nice pep, and a sportier powerband. anything beyond that point, and the cost of modifications skyrocket along with headaches. keep it simple. if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, get some lightweight wheels and invest in good tires. thats my best advice.

**jeffsetsfire23** · 11-19-2004, 08:30 PM

thanks for you advice

...the end.

**7thgensuperman** · 12-10-2004, 04:02 AM

thats gay gay gay it doesnt end there unless u do have money burnin in you pocket

i know of people usin trd supercharger for vvti

gets 40 whp

one guy i knew and played pool with in jacksonville,FL at Park Avenue billiards
always was playin tag with local cops and he beat a camaro ss with supercharger in his red gt but when i looked at his engine it looked bone stock!!

weirdest most confusing thing i ever fuckin saw
he wouldnt tell me how he did it but by talkin about his different titanium parts and how he put so much damned money in it and spent couple months buildin it up
he was a mechanic in the navy

when he told me then i didnt know a damn thing about engines so i didnt retain the information
i wish i knew how he did it
i never rode in a car with as good of handling, braking power and just raw power
it was a driving machine that just sent u into outer space
we went around like 100 degree turns at about must have been 60 without any screeching noise
that engine was quiet as fuck too!!!
i never heard much but like a rotary kind of noise
or a noise youd hear from a ferrari engine

I dont believe they make a TRD supercharger for a celica 7th Gen.... But if Im wrong please show the link where i can find one for a GTS.

**Pineapple** · 12-10-2004, 10:14 AM

Yea there is SC for 1ZZ-FE that's into money burning in your pocket area.
Due to the reutrnless fuel system and VVTi, FI with high PSI is hard. Not impossible just hard and costly.

40hp for a supercharger...thats not very good
and im sure he spent as small fotune for it

**Brullen Celica** · 12-10-2004, 04:11 PM

again with this navy guy.....i think someone has a crush.....plus read car and driver's test of the TRD suprecharger equipped GT....they said performance gains are very low, and aside from suspension, the celica should be left alone.
