ct20b on 2nd gen, whos running this set-up? Options

[95st-celica]

i will be picking up a ct20b for my 2nd gen this weekend, and was curious as to see who else was running the same set-up, as well as what other supporting mods you have, and what kind of numbers you were getting out of it as well.

I think this will really open up and answer a lot of questions about the limits of a basically stock 2nd gen, (for us 2nd gen guys) compared to the stock 3rd gen, with such a simple upgrade as a 20b.

From what i have researched, 290-320WHP should be attainable with simple mods to the 2nd gen.

Myself and lagos are going to see what we can do with each of our set-ups, and post back what we came up with.

I really do think that 300WHP is VERY realistic for the 2nd gen with the ct20b, if not more.

bascially i am buying the 20b off of stevenson tomorrow, and both art and i have been planing on doing a turbo upgrade for a while now. I have been looking for a 20b at a reasonable price for quite some time now, but everything i found was in australia and way over priced.

I am picking up the turbo, and putting it on art's car. ONLY because he has an exhaust, and a meth kit already installed. i have the same exact mods as him, but they are in boxes in my room (way to cold out to be installing **** like this with no garage) once it warms up a little bit then i will put everyhting in, along with the turbo, FPR, safc, everything at once, and then i will take MY CAR to the dyno.

We will be strapping the 20b onto ARTS car, with WI, SAFC, Boost controler, and some other mods we may incoroprate when we have the turbo, and we are going to take it to the dyno, strictly to see what power gains we can get out of it based on the CELICA, instaed of the mr2 with crappy intercooling.

like i said before, our cars will benifit more with the 20b then the mr2s will based strictly on the cooling factor, and being able to run higher boost levels with out detecting knock. Keeping the engine cool, and not running out of fuel are the 2 biggest probelms, but with the proper cooling, and with the addition of Meth, i see no reason we can not reach power levels just as, if not greater then the STOCK 3rd gen.
