best performance mod for GT-S

[iwantaturbo]

i now have a aem cold air and kazuma exhaust. What is the next step, i am not interested in NOS or any type of forced induction. i am trying to keep a relatively good dayley driver, the exhaust was overboard, but good performance gain. Please help me out on this, i need more speed

Please elaborate? Are you trying to go fast in a *straight* line (something the Celica was not made to do and will never excel at)?

If the answer is yes, find the want ads, sell your car buy a Mustang or Camaro and use the leftover cash to mod it (cam, X pip exhaust, gears, etc).
You will end up with a car just like you wanted, fast in a straight line that can't handle for crap.

If you want to actually know how to drive the car fast (that's more important than adding parts that make it faster) then find a good high performance driving school in your area and find out what driving is all about (driving with turns).

Otherwise, what are you looking for, top end, better 60 foot times, etc? I can tell you spring and shock settings that will help your 60 foot times.

As for additoinal bolt on mods, you are running out of options. Lightweight flywheel will make an obvious difference in acceleration, pay a lot for some porting and polishing (minimal gains), pay someone to make you a set of cams (potentially big gains), etc. How much $$$ do you have and how badly do you want to go fast

OK, well thanks for the reply, i just got out of a volkswagen and there are infinite mods you can do to those cars (wonderful cars by the way). I thought the celica was relatively tuner friendly, but guess not. When do you think cams/ intake manifolds/pistons/retainers and such will be available, i saw a post on the supercharger last ngiht, when will that be available and how reliable, will it be "set it and forget it?", my past experience with a turbo was good, but i dont want to mess with that on this car since the compression ratio is rather high as it is, and don't want bother tuning it as i dont have engine management software yet for this car.

keep posting

LOL I thought Autxr was recycling replies till i read the D/T stamp!

AS for the engine mods you want, I'm afraid there aren't many. Supposedly Crower is working on a cam set, and one company is offereing a 3zz conversion kit; which is basically a 1zz crank and rods, fitted into a 2zz block. You get the GT long stroke, and the GT-S big bore for a total displacement just over 1.9L.

the company that is offering the 3zz kit is called Trial. The Japanese website is http://www.trial.co.jp/

They have a English/USA wesbite, but I don't know the URL.
