this guy made toyotas look crappy..., trecel turbo dynoed at 110 hp?!? Options

[easternpiro1]

here in charlotte its known that there will be something poppin on a nice saturday night. last weekend was no different except it was a dyno night. there were alot of nice cars out there! some guy from HIN brought his black emotion nissan z out and there were a couple supras...but what caught my atteniton was a little grey trecel. i go over to one of the dyno operators and ask what engine it is, he says something about a 4e and its a starlett engine swap from japan...uh okay...never heard of a starlett. but anyway, he completes the dyno test and only 110 hp pops up the guy looked pretty disappointed and i was stupified. is it me or is something terribly wrong here? the guy says his fuel was too rich but i call bs. it was a turbo but it was putting the same hp as my car (st)
someone please clarify what a starlett engine is because i would expect more out of an engine thats turboed.

now i want to race him....for sh!!ts and giggles...

stock tercel pretty good tires/clutch, with a 4efte swap should be in the high14's low 15's, boostcontroller, exhaust intake, new intercooler, should easily be able to peirce the low 14's high 13's

wow, you can get tercels for like 1500-2000 for a pretty nice one, 4efte complete swap (engine, trans, ecu harness) might run you 2500 (and thats high), hmm swap'ed tercel, minor mods, new tires, for around $5k be in the high 13's low 14's, nice little sleeper, i doubt any cops would be looking for a tercel lmao, keep the exhaust quite (big resinator)....

sounds like a great little project car, or you could get a paseo, same thing i think there alittle heavier though.........
