Jeez...if our engine was a v6, we could do this:

[ArchangelX]

"Despite the modesty of this Spyder's engine build-up, don't think that Robert Wilson doesn't have a couple performance-oriented tricks up his sleeve; you'd have to be half-braindead to miss the two nitrous tanks, which reside in the footwells of what used to be the back seat, while you were perusing the car's interior. These bottles feed a dual stage wet nitrous system supplied and installed by Nitrous Express, Wichita Falls, Texas.

The single system is comprised of two stand-alone systems that collaborate for about a 100-hp power boost, should the need arise. The first shot, good for about 30 hp, is controlled by a toggle switch located in the car's cockpit, while the second is dependent on a throttle-sensitive micro-switch and boosts the engine's output by a further 70 hp.

When fully operational, the nitrous will boost the Spyder's power levels from an already respectable 200 hp into the 300-hp range--much closer to the level of horsepower and torque achieved by such stoplight studs as the Porsche 996 Carrera."

Damn..it'd be nice to push a 100 shot in the Celica. That dual stage system is pretty nice, a good controlled launch and then WHAMMO...a 70 shot...pretty sweet.

It's from here, an old article but interesting to say the least. Even though I think the car is ugly as sin.

An engine bigger than the 2ZZ-GE just don't mix with the celica because it will cause so much Roll and Understeer.

Ya...I know...but if it was there from the start, they would have designed the car for an V6.

Probably would have turned out crappier..but hell..how about some more grunt..hehehe..that would have been nice. :D

Or better yet, come stock with a nitrious system. :gap:

My only comment on V6... Look at what the Tiburon got.. lol... I'll stick to a 4 please. :)

[celica gte racing]

I think the celica should've come with a 2.2L VVTL-i... that would have been insane... pumped out 260hp or something...

well, if you go for straight line speed...another question..

[Oo DaRk StAr oO]

2.0L VVTL-i engine would be awesome. Nice and light still, still powerfull... oh yeah how would this sound... 3ZZGTE.

Yum!

its yet to be determined yer or not wether on stock compression the engine can handle 100 shot.. progressively its not that bad.. but I know for sure with lower compression forged internals, 100 shot should be nothing.. mind you, that Eclipse weighs 3200lbs.. your car weighs 2500.. 100 shot on yer car would be like 200 shot on his car :)

Yea, look at what the tiburon got, look at what the tiburon gets after a few simple mods

[Lord Banshee]

damn these new tiburon guys are everywhere :chuckles:

and a 75 shot on a GT-S 6-speed would make it as fast, if not faster than a 100 shot on an Eclipse. especially once you consider a 75 shot would be adding more like 85-90whp. (11.5:1 :thumbup: )
