Very VERY nice!! Amazing.

[WannabeGT4]

the giant metal flake and orange/green pearl are fugly but 580HP makes up for it.

[Hym3n]

I'm not a big fan of the front bumper, but the paint looks very nice, as does the hatch spoiler. He needs JDM tails!

I think that bodykit is hot ****.

[sinner96ST]

that car is godly, besides the paint job.

all it needs are projectors. the color would be awesome if it was darker.

I dont know what Sexier....Body kit or the Color!

[Magic]

I bought the magazine:)
The car looks great,they said they waiting for the Motec to be install and then they will talk about serious HP:)
Great car,i was never a fan of stroker but this beast looks great:)
A great example about the GT4 racing spirit:)

[dstrbcelica]

i loooooooooooove that paint job.

[latinomasfino]

[Magic]

I think it should get close to 700hp but this is depent from the tuner of course:)
I`m waiting for them to announce time slips for this car...

[latinomasfino]

[uzthedentist]

yeah lets wait for a dyno slip first

this car is running 2 intercoolers, the standard chargecoller and an fmic
apexi avc r and apexi pfc why have 2 boost controllers??
apexi safc why 2 fuel computers??
blitz induction kit (although its hks in the pic)
blitz dump valve (although no dump valve in the pic)

fensport have used the 2.2l stroker but they keep splitting blocks a 2 bar boost, even though ive mailed this company they dont reply about specs. Just seems odd 2 me why theyve got two of anything as in Japan they have big power skylines running 2 bar on the apexi pfc only fully mapped.

If they have achieved it then good luck to them, but i am a bit sceptical. Theres a competition called 10 of the best on august first which im sure theyll be at so ill take pics o it if its there

[latinomasfino]

[tsiah]

that car is orgasmic.....
580 hp...omfg

CF exhaust....thats badass...wonder how much thats worth

[mmorg3053]

Sorry to put a downer on thing guys, but Grasshopper Pro Sports (the guys who did the work) are a couple of hundred yards from where I live. So I have been in there a few time. Lost count now. But this car is rather erm...tatty. The interior is poor. And I wouldnt believe the claims until proven to be honest.

[jojobombiest]

2 spoilers?

[Tressa95]

Thanks for sharing the pics. Car looks good but I am not crazy about either of the spoilers. If the car can do what they say it can looks don't matter!

[latinomasfino]

[uzthedentist]

I wouldnt hold your breath on that

[Magic]

uzthedentist i took a closer look on the pictures of the magazine and i tried to find where and how THE HELL DID THEY CONNECT THE CHARGECOOLER AND THE INTERCOOLER!!!!!!Its really interesting.
BTW if you look closer to the photos the front bumper where the plate is there are some serious scrats!!!Poor GT4

[uzthedentist]

yep well the fact the chap hasnt shown his face on the gt4 owners club tells a lot. 2 intercoolers why in the hell?? look at the spec list its a thing of pure comedy. Torsen LSDs swapped for cuscos why?? it was good enough for tte in the wrc. Oh yeah and according to them the stick gt4 brakes are crap but stock supra ones are fantastic. THEYRE THE SAME FREAKIN BRAKES!!

oh by the way look on the right hand side of the engine bay, can u see any water pipes there?

An early pic of the engine bay, a poor one

Hey,
This is a little bit of useless info about car ..

Any of you with a Celica Hyper rev book (first 1) well the Varis car in red in that book is this car ...

The car was sold at auction 4 or 5 years ago and imported to UK ..

The car was first feature in JP may/jun 01 which i have ..

The only thing they changed was the rear spoiler as it now has TRD style but IMHO with roof spoiler too it is a bit much ..

The way you know it is the Varis car as well is the red dash , tons of varis carbon fiber bits and the fresh air vent on the roof ..

Also i bought issue and the fact that i own a 95 GT4 WRC and a real TRD wing and i STILL have not picked it up 1800 miles away makes me ILL .. i have LHD conv already to install too..ugh ..

Derek

[mmorg3053]

Yeah, I heard rumours that that car already had most of the jobs done on it.

[Magic]

What do you mean guys??That the car came from Japan ready??(Engine Rebuilt)
I havent seen any other import coming with those upgrades,and especially with a stroker!!!!!
Yes the Front bumper is Varis i have the Hyper Rev mag also and its the same:)
uzthedentist i havent seen any water pipes....hmmm....i think they "misdirection" us with all those bull**** info they giving.
They should say "Guys look we put this and this" to be easy for us to make our choices in the future. they keeping it secret like lets say "AREA 51"!!

GIVE ME A BREAK!!

[uzthedentist]

well theyll find out soon enough when the block splits at 2 bar. Funny that they can only map 1.6 bar with 2 boost controllers, 2 fuel computers and an ecu when we have people in the gt4oc running 2 bar with an apexi power fc only

[TRDCelicaFan]

Man, that's one extreme GT-Four. The highest I've ever seen one taken until now is about 460bhp

That is high for a celica. I have heard of much more powerful 3s' tho... there were supposedly a few 1000+ hp supras running 3s' in one of the jap series, maybe JGTC a couple of years ago. A guy works on 3s-gte's in my state and he is in an article on www.autospeed.com He built up a 3s for a desert buggy, and that ran at up to 500 hp @ 2bar. Crazy thing about this engine though, is that the torque and HP are pretty much constant from about 4000-7000 rpm. They could have got more power but he was aiming for torque for the buggy racing.






How's that for a crazy test rig.

Sorry if I hijacked the thread but people were calling for dyno sheets

[latinomasfino]

nice article man...hmm desert buggy GT4 heheh damn and this was oct 2002! hey i have always wondered why the 3sgte was never a popular engine to modify, unlike the hondas or even nissans

[KAMiX]

Yeah I've actually seen a few buggies running 3's. I was at a meet out in the desert (don't ask why I was in the desert) maybe a year ago and there were 3 of them with worked 3's.

[latinomasfino]

[Magic]

I`m sure that 3SGTE can hold very easy some hundreds of BHP especially for daily driving.
The point is not to built a monster and cant drive it or just race a couple of times at tracks,the point is to ENJOY IT,so where are you going to drive a 1000BHP SUPRA or SKYLINE??Just spend a fortune to go just under 10 secs???GIVE ME A BREAK.I`m pretty sure that GT4 has everything(AWD,Great Suspension,Wild LOOK,RELIABLE,POWER).

[neoklis]

I agree with Magic on this one. I have been driving my Curren for the last couple of days and i realized that the SS II is too boring for me now. The GT4 is great (maybe not so exciting for straight line low flights) but its great for daily driving and regular road boosting.

second on the doom buggy pics.

[creis]

I hate roof wings. there usless. witch is funny because they defer the air just enogh to make the real wing usless too. but DANG thant car is nice. sept the paint yuky. well i guess i really dont like it, BUT LOVE THE ENGINE.
