> SS1 do not have superstrut.

Conclusion:
Yes your engine is a 3sfe
Your car is a SS1
You have a non superstrut suspension
You have around 140bhp
You do not have AWS
Do not compare your models to the one in the US
You should compare it to the SS2 or SS3. Yours is a ss1 which is the slowest among them.
SS2 has superstrut as an option while ss3s all came with them
Goto the CelicaUK forums where you will find topics on your car

So why is it SS?? Anything you can do to make it faster?

NIGEL's CELICA
It is SS because that is how the japs decided to name it. ss1 , ss2, ss3 . Dont compare it to the US versions.

ss1 being the economy model with the 3s-fe engine. To make it faster? Nos, turbo or engine swap . the 3sge (180bhp) found on ss2 and ss3 or the 3sgte found in the st205. There is also the beams engine which came in some ss3 and in mr2s.

There is not much , if any gains to be made on this engine with addon mods like pod filter , exhaust etc. it is still going to be slow.

The head doesn't have anything to do with the .2L displacement difference.
user posted image = displacement

lol, i love how easy this equation is too.

pie*radius^2 = Area of a circle(using bore to do this, but since bore is DIAMETER divide by 2^2 wink.gif
then to make it a CYLINDER
Area of Circle * height(stroke)
then to get all the cylinders, that * # of Cylinders.

sorry, that eq just made me laugh.
LOL that's the first picture I found for the equation of dispalcement. I forgot I could use ^ for exponents and I didn't know how to do superscript so I just used that pic from wikipedia. I think the equation was written that way so that all someone has to do is plug in the numbers and type it in their calculator. Otherwise people might not figure out that you have to divide bore/diameter first before you start the rest of the equation.
