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.

yea im defintally going to put the helper spring on, but i told him to drill the holes wile its out, so it will make it a lot easier if we want to throw a spring on it...i cant wait to go for a ride in this thing and feel the difference, but cold hard numbers will be nice to look at as well. This thing should run like a beast espically with this weather right now.

Drilling the wholes alone wont help you. First you wont be able to get to where the spring needs to be installed while the turbo is still installed on the car, and Second...you need to "tune" the spring for desired load. If you dont, your actuator opening pressure may have no difference at all (hopefully) or you your actuator wont have enough force to open AT ALL (DANGEROUS).
