my application is a lot of street a little race,  BUT I hate it when the souped up firebirds and camaros and vettes around here pass me on the interstate when I go to work and even with the turbo I get beaten.  So I need something that will anialate all.  Civics and integras are no problem now but I gotta beat the V8.  I checked out the JUN website and placed an order for the camshaft stage 2 kit.  What are those things that are in the option thing?  Oh, and I almost forgot what is the best clutch that I should get?  ACT or centerforce?  Or neither.  West minst you are a pretty smart guy and thanks for all of your help. Matt

Matt? you must read everything.

Are you changing your computer or are you going piggy back?

If piggy back, you will need the HKS VPC to change to speed density since you maybe using 272 degree cams.

I think that it is better to go with a motec 48 or a Autronic SM2. Check my link paths on this page and review both products. It is better to go with them than with all the piggy backs which will cost the same money, but hard to use since you have more than one device to change parameters.

All parameters can be control with these computers via a laptop under the seat.

The option is for the cam gear. You have either the option to get the JUN or HKS cam gears or sprockets as they are named. I like the HKS cam sprocket over JUN, but JUN looks lighter.

The kit you order contains which cams? 264 or 272 degree cams?

Will you order Stroker kit and the Valve guide kit?

You have a number of choices for the clutch. Check my mod list posted before.

You should have a list of all what you need, part numbers, where you going to by them and so on.

TRD, Toda Racing, HKS, JUN, ACT, Centerforce can be use for your clutch. Just chose one on quality and price. But you have to verify each manufacture if there have a clutch for the Celica GTFour. It maybe possible that a MR2 clutch can fit the GTfour but I do not know since one the MR2 is RWD while the GTFOUR is AWD.

Also, the 90-94 GTFOUR transmission might be the same. Check this out with NEVERSTOP or any other person.

TRD should definately have one. Checkout http://www.fensport.co.uk/partsfiles/st205clutch.htm for clutch kit

Are you using a carbon fibre drive shaft for the rear axle?
