why im asking is that ceilica is what sort of aiming on replicating ..
engine wize im probably not going to gain as much as he has - though 185kw at the wheels would be a nice round number for a gt4 ..

205 gearbox is on the way for me - just waiting on one to arrive ..
diff wise and driveshaft wise - hmms - i didnt think 205 driveshafts were the sdame as 185 ones - otherwise i would have got the pair off cool1 for mine when i lost a shaft 3 months ago

thats why i made sure i got an Australian Gt4 - not import ..
and mine will be more a Street car with odd track fang - then all out track blaster ..
as before - im aiming for about 185KW at the wheels - and i believe that black one in the article had that or a bot more happeing ..
motec would be nice though im looking into an Apexi piggyback ECU , and theres also one from HKS that piggybacks ..
depends on the cost though - if its no cheaper than a total replacement ( ie motec , autronic etc etc ) ill go that path and get it professionally wired

Yeah no worries
I'm sure this celica would have at least 18k kw's at the wheels
i'll find out the exact mods and let you know in detail
You wouldn't guess how much he picked up the celica for............................$6000.............. .........yes thats right $6000

thats the norm for imports now - seeing they dont apply to the new import registering rules ..
there was one in adelaide for around that price at adelaide jap wreckers ..
wouldnt mind having his front mount though - that seems to be the thorn in my side atm ...

Is the GT4 celica only 113kW? Thats a bit odd seeing how i own an SX and it has 103kW! Im pretty sure it does anyway.

Yeah 113kw's at the wheels, the SX has 103kw at the flywheel, more like 64kw's at the wheels!!!!
Classique71 sorry have got around to scanning it for you yet, haven't had that much time (slow scanner)
That GT4 of intrest is about 235hp at the wheels

sleeka celica,
classique71 has 113kw at the wheels, whereas you have 103kw at the fly wheel which would work out to be about 65-70kw at the wheels

thats right, read my little blurb at the bottom twice - to make sure
my Gt4 puts out more at the wheels than your SX does at the fly the joys of boost and all that
as a side note engine wise id say my old grey pig would be putting out close to 165 ish kw at the motor - but that should soon jump a little more when the new exhaust + dumpy goes in ..
im also running 14psi boost instead of the standard 11 ish psi, a higher voltage fuel pump + a few other tweakies here and there
Aiming for around 130 at the wheels next time on the rollers, which is basically Double what the FWD version produces at the wheels - once again - no comparing the 5sfe to a 3sgte
Also i think the Gt4's were a shade over 1400 kg -ill check on this.
mine should be a but lighter seing im getitng rid of the havy arse front bumper + steel bracked in favour of the lighter group A bumper + aluminuim bracket Still seeing what other things i can lighten to lower this further without sacraficing things like the aircon + interior components
Wiso - NP mate - when you can is fine
SecaSX - ta for the link!

185 rear diff final drive ratio is 3.93:1
205 rear diff final drive ratio is 4.28:1
Hope that e-mail in your profile is the right one cause I'll send the article to that. Have fun reading.

so its only the rear diff gear which is different ??
the front is the same ?
so really its no stronger - just provides a quicker acceleration + less top speed ?

According to the RAC website, they list the factory weight of the ST185 Group A as 1390kg, didn't bother finding the normal one, cos it couldn't be that much different.

mines on the other side of 1400
theres about 40KG in bumperbar weight alone , not to mention other bits -
My guess would be between 1400 - 1450kg for a standard ..
mines getting the jenny craig Grp A bumper - so the nose shouldnt be as heavy
