1zz

[on3 l0st celi]

whats the most hp i can get out of it.. bout how much itll take...

[CeLestialGT]

turbo = about 5k i believe 230whp?

[Carmaster]

I heard of one N/A 1ZZ making 185 WHP, but it took over $10,000 to get there. If you want big HP numbers with a 1ZZ, turbocharging is the way to go.

[on3 l0st celi]

I would have to rebuild my engine if i stand correctly?:shrugs: i really want to get close to 300 hp or sum near...thinking of swaping to 2zz buh thats like double the money

[v3bahumut]

~250 whp on stock internals before you risk rod failure.

[celi1990]

well if you're shooting for 300, turbo. the 2zz will be a better engine to mod but cost more in the end imo.

and where in FL are you located?

[on3 l0st celi]

ohh im in South Florida part same as u 954.lol. buh im jus planning this out for future upgrades.. kinda young

[edg3h_91]

woot another celi member in florida =)

i have seen around 220ish with all stock internals which is probably your best bet is you want to stay 1zz.

cough drops?

ANYWAYZZZZZ its not seen often and some say only the stig has one but 220+ is possible on a 1zz with stock motor.


lol jk awesome celi bro great motivation to all 1zz owners out there!:thumbup:

[edg3h_91]

o and its all about the 305!!!

[on3 l0st celi]

lol thanks for the warm welcoming =] but might as well change the internals if im goin to do it anyways.. sucks that money comes soo hard since im in high school >.<

[edg3h_91]

i just graduated and started university and trust me its not so bad during high school :sadpace:

[on3 l0st celi]

Getin money is hard. durin high school

[v3bahumut]

sucks that money comes soo hard since im in high school >.<

You may want to give up the pipe dream of 300+ whp on a Celica on a High School kids budget.

Your looking at 8 or 9 grand.

[on3 l0st celi]

ohh ill be able to pay for all that once i get hired at this restaurant. Always good to have hope right? But im not in any rush just geting sum ideas out there..

[06CivicSi]

If you want 300hp I would honestly wait and get a 2zz to mod if you want to stay in the Celica brand.

[on3 l0st celi]

Im not sayin exactly 300 hp just close to it...ill be like flyin
since the celica's soo light.

[v3bahumut]

No matter what you do, you'll eventually want more.

I'm sitting at 238 now, and the car is quick, very fun to drive and can hold it's own.....but I want more now :evil:

[on3 l0st celi]

^^ thats true. I've seen your videos on youtube. Your celi is pretty quick.
I just really want to suprise people what a 1zz can do. Then ill be happy.
but your running on stock internals?

[roaf85]

Exactly with student loans and 8 or 9 grand you could pay off college with any private loans.

Here is the best thing you can do right now in high school. It is called leveraging.

Also you are not going to be surprising people with a 400 horsepower Celica. I would go for looks.

[Carmaster]

If you want to spend 8-9 grand and get 300 hp, I'd really look at getting a used RWD or AWD car for that money. You really won't be able to hook up that much power with FWD. But it's up to you.

And what restaurant is that? I'm trying to get a job too. :chuckles:

954 here also :) we should all get together some time for a PS. haha im over here in north lauderdale.

on topic: turbokits.com has a kit for around ~240 hp on stock 1zz. might wanna look into that.

[on3 l0st celi]

^lol im down. just gota see when i can get the car bc i share with my bro till our
other car is fix. and till he tell the rents about his bike lol. im just in pembroke pines area
yeah my brother was saying turbo it. but my friend that works at meineke's says he can help me make a custom kit and he says he can get ppl at a toyota to clean it up internaly

[lilmexicanoboi]

turbokits.com has a kit for around ~240 hp on stock 1zz. might wanna look into that.

although it may run on stock internals, i imagine that it would wear out some parts a lil faster than normal, right? or am i wrong?

i have a 1zz as well and i wanna go turbo somewhere in the future, but im just curious if the turbo is all ill need (obviously along with everything needed to hook it up properly) or if i need to replace some parts so i wont be doing maintainace every weekend. i have a lil over 100k miles on my car so i wont be surprised if some problems pop up due to wear and tear...

[v3bahumut]

my friend that works at meineke's
Stop right there, do not do anything he tells you.



although it may run on stock internals, i imagine that it would wear out some parts a lil faster than normal, right? or am i wrong?
Of course it will, but your going to wear out built internals too.

If your worried about the longevity of your engine, don't boost it.

[Soon2beriding]

i run 226 whp and 205 torq and is fun...been turbo is also less reliable

but still worth it !!

u can stay under 250whp and be safe but if you want more i'll cost u another 2-3 grand to upgrade the rods,piston and other things to the motor..



btw V3 have you check your compression #'s yet? have they gone down much? just wondering how much wear does a turbo 1zz does to the engine without going to much wild on it

of course it'll wear a little faster. but the pleasure you'll get from driving that celica around... :hitit:. smile on your face everywhere you go wot ;)

what kind of bike does he have? I also have a 2002 yamaha r1 :thumbup:

dont trust that guy at meineke. everyone around here is out get someone one way or another. go to a trustworthy shop or dont do it at all. stay away from those hole in the wall performance shops, too.

also interested in this. v3, you have the tk.com kit and i was reading on it in their thread. how's it running?

[on3 l0st celi]

he has a silver/black cbr600
i can trus the guy at meineke. bc he is my sis bf. hes goin to do it as a side
job for the fun of it after he finishes up with this 240 build. or i can jus use
the tools at this shop;) he also said that he can get me sum hook up at a close toyota dealers since he used to work for them too

yea the main reason im thinking of going boosted is cuz of how fun it seems. as for the maintainance part, im studying to be a mechanical engineer and focusing mainly on cars and even more on the engine, so maybe getting my hands dirty and trying to fix problems myself might save me some money and give me a lil more knowledge of what really goes into it. obviously i might have to try working on old junkers or other cars first before i work on mine since mines a DD, but ill eventually get to the stage where i can do anything myself... at least i HOPE to get to that point :) but for right now, going boosted is nothing more than a dream off in the distance... :(

[marc]

you're not going to surprise anyone with what the 1zz can do - its an economy motor with weak internals and an economy head.

your only gonna bank that kinda cash working in a restuarant if you own it or manage it.
restaurants pay minimum wage, its gonna take you a long time

he is banging your sister not you. It is still going to run you 10,000 which should come in no time with all the money you will be making at the restaurant. College is not for you we understand. You have better things to spend money on at your age. Makes my job just a little bit easier without competition.

[on3 l0st celi]

im not going to pay for all my self soo money will come easy and im going to get like cheap piping for everything should come easy to me. When it all happens. im in no rush though

When building a turbo setup there are three things you need to remember:

Low cost, High power, reliability.

You can only pick two.

//end thread
i suggest reading the FI part of this forum.

Edit: btw.. what will you do when through half the build your sister and him break up.. you think he will still work for free? Now your stuck with a slow gt that doesnt even run.

[on3 l0st celi]

yeah he'll still work on it..hes my bros like dj partner soo i dont think he'll be leavin ne time soon

yeah . . . . this kid will wind up with a bolt on exhaust and intake and call it a day.

[v3bahumut]

Or it will take him 4 years of owning the car to finally turbo it :wave:

[roaf85]

yeah . . . . this kid will wind up with a bolt on exhaust and intake and call it a day.

Or he will go to college see people in BMWs, Audis, Porsches, etc banging hotties and try to find a quick way just to get rid of the car. By that time he should have intake and exhaust so yea I agree with you.

Only turbo a car if you do not have plans to get rid of it, otherwise you are going to take a massive loss on depreciation and I would not turbo charge a daily driver.

[roaf85]

Here you go. Sell your car and buy this one. It will be cheaper.

Oh and since it is a dealer car and probably Joe Domo's car I am sure they will take 8,500.

The car is worth about 6,500-7,000. Now if someone bids on that car I will give you my nut sack free shipping.
