2001 Celica GT-S Turbo1997 Supra TT 6speed1997 Celica 3MZ/1MZ swap1990 Celica All-Trac
after 3 hours of tuning the Split Second box, its starting to come along. the turbo spools really fast and 9psi feels good. the 5S-FE seems to have a wierd point a 4000 RPMs where the A/F changes drastically. can anyone elaborate on this?

... I hate you... I was planning on doing a V6 swap later on down the road (either this summer, or the summer after) but seeing on how your kit is only $2500... I think my plans just changed. 
one question though, for now, I have an automatic trans, will running 8psi destroy it? (I still consider myself "new" to I4's and there auto trans's, since I had a V8 with a 5-speed right before buying my celica) I tried looking for the breaking point of them, both with google and on here, but I could not find a straight answer..

Dude, if I felt like my 5s could handle boost without blowing a valve or 6 through the cover, I'd be all over this...

not sure if this helps you but sounds like the same problem people were having with the aem f/ig at same rpm to where resistors were used. just a thought ..

yes it is very similar to what the FIC was seeing. im starting to wonder if the OEM computer has some wierd transition at 4000 RPMs.
as for the reliability of the kit. i will not release a kit without testing it. thats what im doing now. i would never put something out there knowing it will damage someone elses car. if i break something i can fix it and learn from it. so dont be afraid of this kit. its gonna be awesome.

what's the max psi on the kit for safety?
well in order to reach about 250HP id say about 15psi.

#1-You wont get 300-350 out of this kit, youd need a bigger turbo and much more,as well you have to fully upgrade the 5sfe internally as well to hold that kind of power reliably.
#2-300-350hp in a celica for a DD is WAY to much, i mean i suggest driving any kind of either turbo or swapped celica, i would think 250hp would be more than enough in a DD application
#3-With 300hp your gonna go through tires and gas way to much for it to be any kind of practical DD.

just to add my 2 cents I have had my turbo done since august and i beat the hell out of it on a weekly basis it least 3 days a week. nothing has broken or failed on me 
only complaint is the fuel consumption but that goes along with beating the hell out of it and the premium fuel it requires. *shurgs* its totally worth it to have it turbo its so much fun and spools up fast and has so much power now, I need to up grade my clutch then I will be going to dyno as well to post my results

dude once again you have no clue what you are talking about. this turbo will make 330 HP but thats about its limit. yes the internals (pistons) will need to be upgraded. but 350 FWD driver is just fine. its all in how you drive the car. i drove my 7th gen making 550 as a daily for a year. you can turn the boost down for regular driving and then if some ass in a vette or mustang want to be owned, turn it back up. thats the nice thing about electronic boost controllers.
yes you can go through gas and tires, but then again thats all in how you drive the car.
do you even have a turbo car?

At least im not a "kid" anymore.Jeff what turbo are you including in the kits? I was under the impression it was a ct26. And a stock 26 will max out at around 300.Even if it is a 330hp turbo youll need to upgrade everything else to support it, fpr,standalone,pump, intercooler,cams, not to mention itll put a strain on the tranny. And jeff it IS possible to know something without actaully owning it, contrary to popular belief..

how is 300hp to much for a daily driver? 06 mustang GT comes with 300hp, is that not a good DD? lol yes i kno its a v8 but just because its a turbo 4 banger makin 300 or so hp doesnt make it "WAY" to much. it depends on that right foot of yours and how much gas and how many tires you will go through.
and just like he said u can always turn the boost down and turn it back up when you feel the need too

I think what Suprakid is trying to say, is that this specific kit will not make 350hp reliably because it does not include the internals that you both have mentioned as necessary to make that kind of power as a DD. You also stand by your product 100% I'm sure, but then mention an electronic boost controller. If somebody does add in an electronic boost controller to "own a vette or mustang", then will you still back any warranty your kit may have? Does your kit have any type of warranty at all in case something does go wrong even if they did not add anything to it?
