[XS4lv1Truch0x]

sigh.. what can a stock 5sfe keep up with?

a geo metro

all i had on my 5sfe was an intake an it was DEAD even with a mustang 6 cylinder with an intake also.

was the mustang automatic?

just curious.

EDIT: something funny came to mind. the owners of the local dyno around here had a really high hp del sol. the car was a beast and i think it did around 500hp? i was talking to the guy and he said that when they took it to the track, it only ran a mid 13. .... so that just goes to show that its not the hp, but the fwd platform that limits you in getting good 1/4 times.

so would converting the Celica to the AWD platform make it perform better in the 1/4? has anyone been able to test this?

As a matter of fact, you will have better traction with AWD. FWD pulls the weight of the car where as RWD would push. (Duh?) But as for AWD does both. So overall yes, it helps big time. I think alot of you guys who own the Celica GT (5SFE) and the MR2 NonTurbo (5S-FE) can tell the difference even though the MR2 weights more than the Celica.

why would we need to do the conversion? Why would we need to test it out?

we have REAL gt4 with awd transmission that come with st205 3sgte motors in them stock. They can easily run 14 second quarter miles.

The main thing that slow down front wheel drive cars on the quarter mile is weight.

So how about a 2nd gen with FMIC, forged pistons, balanced crank, port and polished, rods, valves, springs, cams, and a greddy turbo also the norm 3" DP and exhaust and a new manifold and bored out to a 2.2. what do yoiu guys think thatll be runin at for hp and wut you think thats gonna hang with. guesses on 1/4 times. i got my speculations but wanna see what you guys think. ohh and light weight flywheel and stage 2 clutch mabye stage 3

what turbo are you using?

what tires do you have? Suspension? Sea level? Humidity? Transmission?

There are a ton of variables to consider to determine quarter mile times. Little things such as transmission gearing can break or make your set up.

ok lets slow down

inorder to get 2.2L you must STROKE the 3sgte and use a 5sfe crank, machined to accept 3sgte rods.
(a stroker kit for the 3sgte ~$2,000)
greddy turbo crapo, go garrett. but what size

your getting yourself into a WHOLE world of variables and you CANNOT speculate on the kind of performance and times it can do...and lol at the idea of using a stage 2 clutch on that kind of motor

you can run with who ever it just depends HOW much money you have, HOW much time you have and WHAT kind of goals you have

before this thread continues, please stop and think logically...

what do i want in a car, how much money do i have, and what is the BEST and most FEASABLE way to achieve that goal....

now this thread should die

[6G94celica]

well the gt tranny wouldnt hold up to taht kind of motor would it so the mr2 turbo tranny unless gt will hold up . mainly that input was just to see what it could do and yes i know i would need the stroker kit if i could find the money i would probably go with the jun auto stroker kit. is the greddy turbo really crap.

[hitcachi]

^ Punctuation?? ^ GT tranny will hold. The S54 has out performed what most all us thought it could actually take.

Take his word for it....i found out THE HARD WAY that a stage 2 wont hold up..... i soon have to replace the one i JUST GOT because i didnt know i was running more @ the wheels than what i thought.

a stage2 should hold the power just fine. yours probably died early from either an incorrect install, or the fact that you probably didnt take the time to break it in correctly.

[easternpiro1]

that may also be VERY true ^^ and i figured dan would be laughing his ass off...
but same thing happened to the clutch i had before that doc installed may need more beef according to the guy there b/c the torque rating was so close the actual torque numbers...

i seriously doubt that.
ive been running my ACT street disk and heavy duty PP (rated for 250 ft. lbs.) for a yr and a half, most of that time over the limit of the clutch, or right @ it, with no issues.
IMO 99% of the premature clutch failures you see are from either bad install, or bad break in.

youre probably right, probably didnt break the 2nd one in right. the guy suggested i go with a jdm clutch, starts with an x. forgot what he called it.

[playr158]

xact?

[easternpiro1]

xact?

yeah i think that was it

[NgoFcukinWay]

or exedy? expensive clutches.

[playr158]

exedy = start with E
xact = start with X


jus givin a hard time
