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.

basically what art said in a nutshell.

The whole OBJECTIVE of this project is not to prove that one motor is better than the other...for God sakes there both toyota 3s-gte engines, and either one are great, powerfull engines no matter which way you look at it. The fact of the matter is, we want to be able to prove solid facts that with the addition of the upgraded turbo between 93-94 on the 3sgte, that the HP gains were noticable, but the basic layout of the engine was not. And as art has stated, and as i will say myself, with my own research, is that i see NO problem with a 2nd gen engine cranking out over 300WHP with the proper tuning, and cooling.

I mean honeslty we could go back and forth about this all day, and the variables that get thrown in are endless. Ceramic turbine wheel as opposed to a steel wheel, 10* cooler on this dyno then that one, WI and not water injection, the list goes on and on and on. All i really want to see, is that with the little mods i have done to my car, such as an intake, Front mount intercooler, and safc, that anyone other noob can install, along with the ct20b, that we can push really respectiable numbers with basically, if not COMPLETELY a stock block.

This is just a little project that i have been wanting to do for quiet some time, and with the aviability of arts car, and all of the mods currently installed, i see no better way then to take it to the dyno and see what we can achieve.

Let me just say this...i would love to build, and probably WILL build anouther 6gc with a 3s swap. and no doubt would i go with a 3rd gen 3sgte. But for all of the throw back guys, who already have a 2nd gen, we are trying to show them how to get the most reliable, and best performance out of their 2nd gens with out breaking the bank.

300 whp should be a walk in the park in my honest oppinion, i would like to see more along the lines of 325-330WHP. THEN i will be satisfied

But lets just take one step at a time, do it the right way, and post the best posiable results that we come up with. I rather show numbers that others can simply achieve rather than throwing up something like 24 psi and 330whp.

should be interesting none the less
