**lauro** · 10-29-2005, 03:21 AM

hey whts up i just wondering wht i should kno about the 00" GT-S im planning on racing but not until i kno more about celicas and cars in general

**flylice13** · 10-29-2005, 04:00 AM

if you plan on racing and winning some races, dun go with the celica, it's more for show not for racing. no doubt it's fast, but it's not as fast and you can't modify it to get alot of hp out of it unless you change your car. ;)

**Burrcold** · 10-29-2005, 11:18 AM

please tell me you plan to race it on the track...and even there you will lose many races.

**kikaider** · 10-29-2005, 11:43 AM

lol crush the dreams of the celica owner so soon, they are right though car can act fast but u will be in the moderate fast bracket, my suggestion being a new celica owner my self is focus on looks first, I have a thread on swaps to emprovise ur speed but seeing as there are not that many options ur best bet is make the small adjustments i.e. header, CAI, and so forth not sure if thats where I am going yet or with a swap but my celica is probably a 2 year project to get it where i want seeing as I bought it all stock.

i kno thr slow but wht about if i nstall a turbo will thy still b a bad car for racing

10-29-2005, 06:03 PM

GT-S doesn't take turbo very well. Better off with supercharger. Neither will help your grammar though. I suggest school for that.

**lauro** · 10-29-2005, 06:05 PM

lol i got use 2 typen like its a im
but wht do u mean it doesnt take a turbo very well??

10-29-2005, 06:09 PM

Compression is too high, for one thing. Also, it's making quite a bit of horsepower considering what it is at stock, so adding a bunch more on top of it can get fairly costly. A turbo will require a lot more work done to the car than a supercharger.

Seems the general consensus is that 8psi or so is the safe max that the stock engine can take, netting you maybe 80HP, for ~$5000usd. Not the most cost effective way to improve your whole car.

**lauro** · 10-29-2005, 06:13 PM

well superchargers for me r ugh its thr any way 2 get around the compression problem and im not gana b adding a turbo for a while

**lauro** · 10-29-2005, 06:14 PM

and wht do u mean the compression is 2 high?

10-30-2005, 12:09 PM

Typically, lower compression puts less stress on the engine. When you have a higher compression, such as what's on the GT-S, putting the turbo on, adding more stress to the engine, is not always a good thing. It's much easier to Turbocharge a GT, rather than a GT-S. There ARE turbo kits out there for the GT-S, and quite a few more in development.

But, if you're not going to worry about it for awhile, worry about the other things, such as i/h/e, lowering springs, that sorta things.

**lauro** · 10-30-2005, 01:23 PM

but would u get the same pay off by putting a turbo into a GT rather thn a GT-S

**Whiplash** · 10-30-2005, 01:30 PM

What do you have Gts or gt?

10-30-2005, 01:47 PM

he's got a GT-S. ^Nice car, btw.

Overall, same payoff? I dunno. I have a 5th gen. BUT. It's less cost effective to put a turbo in a GT-S as opposed to a GT. But, if you'll have money to burn, turbo away.

**BioNeXuS** · 11-01-2005, 01:26 PM

If u put a turbo into a gt, it looks like most of them get u up to about 190-200whp. For the gt-s, I say check out c2power.com. They seem to be making a pretty decent turbo.

**Whitegt01** · 11-04-2005, 12:47 PM

u get more out of a gt than that... 220- 280 whp
