so what kinda power are you making with your boost setting? and does that auto tranny feel as shakey as everyone on the 6gc site said it would be?

your on a FWD platform. u see what Presure2 and Defgeph put down (235 to 250whp) and they run into traction issues. (which have yet to be resolved) The only answer anyone has been able to find for it, is to throw money at it, till u get it right. (fat rubber, bigger and better and ultimatly more expensive suspension components) And unless your racing....regularly....the originality factor is better then the added 30 to 50hp.
again, its my opinion, and last I check, on these boards, I am entitled to it.

mig... ask any one of us with a turbo celica. we would take lack of traction over an NA beams motor any day. its the type of thing that is only a problem when you go to the track and are trying to run a 1/2 second faster then your last time. in the real world, on the street, its not a problem at all. the traction issues at the track can also be solved by simply lowering boost in lower gears, and a bit of driver skill.
i look at the beams like i look at the silvertop swap. on the internet, you will have a cool car, but in the real world, you'll get owned by just about anything on the road with those motors under your hood.
the 5sfTe and 3sgte might be very common on these forums, but in the land of subaru, mitsu, and hondas that roam the streets, a turbo celica is a very rare and cool thing.

You really want an answer for this
Traction issues are only a problem in the wet and if you launch hard, otherwise there aren't any traction issues here. If you are pushing well over 300BHP you probably also have the money to afford this

Not very good for you US guys cuz of the dollar exchange rate (Expect to pay over 3k ATM), but it is fitted on Aston Martins so I think it works

In my opinion, those traction control systems do what they are supposed to do and work VERY well. I have tried to lose traction in a vehicle equipped with a similiar system, and It reacts very quickly and I was quite impressed.
However, I believe that it takes the fun out of driving and no longer becomes a competition of driver skill. I have a belief, and I think it's great to get into a car without many computer controlled traction or handling assist because it shows that it's not just the car that wins races, it's the driver. On a track, it seems like having your car completely control your power and traction seems boring. You might as well just be a passenger in the vehicle or a spectator.
5sfte, 3sgte, 4age, 4agze, 3sge, 7afte, 7agte, 7afe, 5sfe, 3sfe, 3zvfe, 3mzfe, 1mzfe, or w/e direction you choose to take is fine. Sometimes we look at the forum and don't see us indivisuals anymore. But what we need to remember is that all of us have our own opinions and choices. Although there have been many 5sfte projects done recently, we need to appreciate the effort all those are putting into the swap itself. We can all try to become original, but originallity does not always overcome function, as we can see with some of the exterior mods a few of us do not favor. If it works, then people will do it. I can understand the importance of not following the crowd, or not wanting to be like everyone else. But we all gotta try things out and see where they take us before we can move onto something new.
And again. Congrats Jeff on the swap. Your car is loud without exhuast. I am glad you got exhaust put on today.

take out some fuel from the high throttle map on the safc, in the rpm range that you are rich. just remember to take out as little as possible to get the job done.
you might also have to do the low throttle map for the car to idle. aim for a 14afr idle/cruise... 11ish under boost.
