New Guy, Soooooo glad I found this site! - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #84323 41 posts Started by fastassrolla
So I'm new to the 6g and might ask dumb questions here and there. But we have to learn some how, right? I am typically a Honda tuner but have loved the 6g for as long as I can remember. I finally had the chance to buy one and I couldn't be in more extasy. So far, it has a body kit, 17" wheels, exhaust and a Turbo wink.gif
Welcome! thumbsup.gif

Get some more details and pictures up smile.gif

Not sure which motor it is, I'm new to Toyota... Nor am I sure on the whp. It needs tuned but I have no idea what program to use. The Turbo is a holset hx35. It has precision 550 injectors. Stage 3 centerforce clutch. Hks blow off valve. 3" exhaust from the down pipe to a magnaflow muffler. And odds and ends here and there
Looks like a 5sfe thats turbo'd to me.

5sfte! Should be all set to go for 250+hp
5sfe turbo, 5sfte, same thing lol.
If you wanna get real technical it would be a turbo'd 5sfe, seeing as there's no such thing as a 5sfte from Toyota.

Well this is a new type of introduction.

Most come strolling in with a ST that is mint, or a GT that is well over paid for with some issues =P

Now a turbo'ed GT (5sfe) is certainly a new "welcome to the site, look what I got" - Props.

Tune'er, ditch the skirts, paint and it'll be banging.

Welcome to 6gc!

oh yea, i forgot about the guys coming in with GT4's...they don't count =P

Doesn't look too home brew - it either is, or is based on the Burien Toyota turbo kit, which is easy to spot due to the lack of an intercooler.


I would look into installing an intercooler on that setup before you start messing with too much.

I have an Intercooler. But can't figure out where / how to run the piping.
Look at other peoples set-up on the pipe routing. You could "if you wanted to risk it" do alcohol injection.

Routing is pretty simple.

Didnt most of the 5sfte swaps use ebay piping to make custom setups

Deal. So does anyone know if TC suspension is interchangeable? I read somewhere that it was, but would like some real results before I went ahead and ordered coilovers.
No it is not.

Celicas have MacPherson front and rear. The tC is MacPherson front and double wishbone rear.

welcome to the fun!

1994 Celica GT- TenzoR 1.8in. Drop springs. 16mm wheel spacers.
Ok, glad you could clear that up for me. What about gt4? Essentially the same, right? And I would also like a little info on what my motor can handle before I have to do internal work. Like how many lbs of boost and what-not.
Gt-4 has super strut witch is completely diffrent too
If you want to lower it your best bet is to get coilovers for a 94-99 gt
Or you. Could just get lowering springs an new struts. Witch would be cheaper.

I beleave 5th gen coilovers work too but im not 100% sure
Yea when it comes to celicas you "gotta pat to play" so to speak
No one really makes nock off parts an name brand isnt cheap but you do get what you pay for

It was a fun car. WAY underpowered and like hell to work on (electrically speaking), but had it not been completely trashed I would have bought it back.

While it wasn't a daily driver car, it sure did draw a crowd at shows.
