Can you make a celica fast

It's quieter and smoother-acting. It eliminates a hole through the firewall where noise and dirt and too-cold or too-hot air can enter the passenger compartment. Vampyre Apr 15, pm. Orange County CA. I have an auto GT. If not happy, will just go with the 6 spd trans.

Will report back on results. I expect to do all this within the next 90 days. Fontana, CA. I know the stafford guys pretty well now and after playing with their setup and being able to help tune my teamates on the dyno I have a lot of respect for that kit. They are really cool guys to work with and I always reccomend their kit cause I know it can produce some great numbers.

The GT should still hold a better torque curve though. So if you lower the compression on the GT as well, wouldn't it still be lower? OR could the two have the same compression? If the GT would go lower then there woiuld be even more room for more added boost, and more power. I was in 4th gear and still had one to go. I went in it and didn't dare push it anymore but my calculations were it could do mph maybe more it I wanted to enter the red zone a few lines. At it handled awesome like doing Best little car I ever owned.

I know this is an old post but I'm curious about something. I've honestly never had mine past 75mph. It's a 97 st limited edition hatch back 5 speed.

It's not that the car won't go faster it's that I'm scared to blow the engine. When I'm going 70 mph in 5th I'm a little over 3k rpm. It sounds like the engine is screaming so I don't push it any more. Can you cruise at 4 or 5k rpm indefinitely?

Or could that damage the engine? It redlines at rpm. SDF answered 2 years ago. Same question here. Not interested in top speed, but I'm regularly on the highway. Guru13RZY answered 2 years ago. That toyota can run at rpm for days with no problem!!! I had 2 , 2. They both would do before even getting close to red line but that's all the gearing it had! If I had another couple gears or just a huge 5th gear it would fly!

Keep that car and they like to be driven fast! Also, what cars have y Celica GT-Four. It employed a 4-wheel-drive system with viscous-coupling center differential and torque split. The 2-liter 16V engine got turbocharged and intercooled to produce hp and lbft in road trim out of a mild boost pressure of 0.

However, contemporary road tests found the GT-Four barely faster than the regular Celica, blame to the kg weight penalty according to official figures and unnecessarily long gearing. This mean it rarely felt quick in the real world. The handling was also much inferior to Lancia Delta Integrale, blame to strong understeer, inert steering, weak brake and clonky gearshift.

Mk5 S ales of the Celica continued falling together with the market trend of coupes. Toyota tried to do something different to the Mk5: a radical styling. It looked almost like an extraterrestrial spaceship, but unfortunately human being didn't like it. Even more unfortunate was the radical styling sacrificed the excellent visibility and roomy interior of the old car, resulting in a compromised package.

There were no technology breakthrough in the mechanical side. It produced a few more horsepower, but largely offset by the higher kerb weight. American version was even worse, weighing in excess of kg and its hp 2. No wonder American motoring journalists did not like it.

The chassis remained a balance between control and comfort, but it was hardly a leap from the old car. Nearly as civilized was the new GT-Four. Toyota used it to win double WRC manufacturer titles in and , and sealed the Driver titles with Sainz, Kankkunen and Auriol from However, the road car was far too tamed. Its engine got a twin-scroll turbo with higher, 0.

That seemed a lot before you consider its kg kerb weight. In fact, a couple of British magazines timed mph slower than the regular Celica 2. American road testers reported the same sluggish feel. On the plus side, the engine had virtually no turbo lag to speak of, and it ran smoothly and quietly. Ride quality was good, too.

You wouldn't expect a 4WD turbo to drive like this. Toyota wasted an opportunity to excel on the fast rising 4WD turbo market. Mk6 A fter the failure of Mk5, the Mk6 Celica was determined to be simpler and lighter. Its styling was toned down a bit, although still hardly a handsome design. The chassis was widened and stiffened yet weighed 20 kg less than before. Higher spec model got a viscous LSD and a so-called "super strut" rear suspension, which used more sophisticated links and ball joints to keep camber ideal.

As a result, the car got more nimble. Its handling felt tauter, with better grip and higher stability. Meanwhile, the 2-liter 16V engine got slightly higher compression and rev limit to enable hp at home or hp in Europe American buyers was again served with an underpowered 2.

Late model had its engine improved further to hp thanks to the introduction of VVT-i and The Celica was not bad to drive, but it was generally regarded as overpriced for the performance it offered.

The GT-Four model took similar improvements. It got slightly lighter and the aerodynamic drag was reduced to 0. An optional raised spoiler could increase downforce. The engine got a larger turbine to boost 0. European model was detuned to hp due to the need to drink lower RON95 octane fuel. Now it was truly capable of mph sprint in less than 6 seconds, although the mph top speed was hard to prove. The chassis benefited from the super strut suspension, front subframe and upgraded brakes.

European magazines were generally impressed with the car, but they also found it was less explosive and less agile than the lighter Impreza and Integrale, hence less exciting to drive. In fact, its driving manner was more GT, i. That said, it was unquestionably the best GT-4 of all. Mk7 Y ears after years of shrinking sales led Toyota to simplify the last generation Celica.

There were only one body and 2 engine options, while the GT-Four was discarded. Compared with the first generation, its lineup looked ridiculously lean. However, the Mk7 was a good car indeed.
