might keep my car so what upgrades next, How long does a gallon of meth last? Options

[mk7celica]

I have my car for sale and did not have much intrest. So I might keep it. If so I have some money saved to mod my car. I had a ct20b installed not to long ago. Not sure If I should get a bigger turbo and aem fic? Or keep the ct20b and get a aem fic with 3 bar map fuel rail and bigger injectors? I want 325 to the wheels and I have added everything I could to my 2nd gen and I am at the fuel systems limits. Suspension is done so I am good there. Any ideas

I have not attempted any track times with my car as for the obvious reasons of wating for parts to come in....but the 6GC is essentially a Srt4 or Honda running an MR2 drivetrain. Srt4's and Honda's are capable of cutting 2.0 or better 60ft times with a PROPERLY setup up car. I have made ALL the provisions, and Shannon also, that are physically possible to help the FWD Celica cut decent 60ft times....so I am eagerly awaiting next track season to see what my setup will put down.

As for now, I can only compare my setup to an Mr2 (same Drivetrain, and similar motor, but the 6GC tends to be a fair bit lighter) cutting a 2.0 or WORSE 60ft time. And based off my OLD numbers of 330whp at 21psi....I have enough power to EASILY be WELL into the 12's. An Mr2 running this kind of power is in the low 12's to high 11's cutting around a 2.0 60ft time, so it is a fair comparison. We will just have to wait for the next track season to actually verify.

You will be seeing both me AND Shannon posting up some much deserved times (both for us and the community as a whole) next track season.

Sounds good I am going to the track again oct 4th and plan to run 17lbs maybe a little less because of the power los an I may be running out of fuel. When I ran the 13.3 2 weeks ago it was at night alot cooler weather and the boost was at 16lbsish and it did not cut out or had no power loss. Maybe because of the cooler air and I may be getting heat soaked. Because at the rtack it did not do it but the car was sitting and was pretty cooled off in between races. But the funny thing on the way home I experienced the power loss hesitation the whole way home. I dont get it unless its the heat saok

Can't wait.

But would the MR2 in fact have a faster 60 ft. time since it can launch better?

My best 60 ft 2 weeks ago was 2.2 60 ft. I noticed it took me a few runs to feather the clutch to where it dont spin in 1st and 2nd gear. I was suprised when I saw my 6oft in the 13.3 run because it was the best I ever had in this car. That may have contibuted to the better 1/4 mile tim I had. On the old ct26 and at stock boost I had 2.5 60ft on average
