My NA, 4cyl, 1.8L Laser TX3 has 123kw. Celicas are 2.0L as well.

hmmm, what year?

redbook has them at 92kw which seems much more likely.

for the record, 2L s13 silvia na is about 105kw and most cars in this class (including older celicas) are under 115kw

More recent celicas have 140kw which is a bit nicer but the gripe I have with almost all n/a cars is that it takes you all year to actually reach the redline.

No better way to feed your engine than a turbo IMO. n/a is like running along with your mouth open lol :P

It really is true about how brave you are.

I've driven against my friend in his SSS n14 pulsar. stock except teins, cams and exhaust, dynoed at around 95kw. We havn't dragged, but he let me drive his car and I know without a doubt I can easily beat him on the straight. But we cruised once on the old pacific hwy, I thought I'd go first thinking I didnt want to get stuck behind him, but he was up my ass the whole way to the point where he was starting to piss me off lol. I wasn't exactly slow either, flooring it on the straight and going as fast as i dared around the corners. So on the way back I let him go first and he just took off, he was so far ahead I seriously thought he slid off the mountain lol

A few minutes later I see him pulled over the side of the road, bonnet up. I ask him whats wrong and he goes something's rattling. So we look and it turns out he was pushing so hard that the bracket for his battery was bent out of shape and the battery was bouncing around LOL. He had a whiteline sway bar too, and I just thought fark that is one crazy mofo

All down to driver skill and balls

you just put your foot down in an auto. what the hell does that have to do with 'driver ability'?

LOL

shit my R34 is non turbo auto and i have raced new v8s and munched them off the line and pulled away from them..... its all about driver ability in the end...... what the driver is willing to risk to get ahead and to win....... its as simple as that..... obviously the cars power and performance has alot to do with it but having higher horsepower dont mean ur gunna have a quicker car....... like i said my bog stock non turbo automatic 96.5Kw RB25DE has decimated 300+Kw v8s makes me scratch my head to this date but meh.... just driver ability in the end
I dont know if that was aimed at me or not but my comment was purely a who cares if its faster or not He obviously bought a Skyline becasue he likes a skyline and his mate bought a celica because he likes a celica.

Fair enough.

If you didn't buy the Skyline because its a sports car then it shouldn't matter to you that you in your vastly more powerful coupe just got chopped by a dinky old Celica.

Of course, I'd question what about the Skyline appeals to you if not the performance....but that's outside the scope of this discussion.

There are always going to be things better out there than what you have the point I was trying to convey was you should be happy with what you have.

The moment you're happy with what you have, you stop wanting to improve yourself or what you've got (so, no more modifying then). Why would you, when you're "happy"? Like you said, there's always something better so that means you're content with being mediocre.

Not my cup of tea, but horses for courses......

And the gay comment along with the other garbage wasnt really needed was it? Your post lost credibilty the moment you posted that crap!

I didn't start off with the "hairdresser" comments, I just responded to it. Your lack of understanding at how "rebuttal" works in a debate speaks more about your (lack of) credibility than mine.

i have a new outlook on life now....no, really i do......................... :nyaanyaa::happy:

You drive a car with an RB20DET willingly, and think that you're somehow superior to a Celica. You need a lot more than a new outlook on life.

Unless Dr Phil does lobotomies I don't think he's the right person to help you.

I didnt mention celica's were "hairdresser" cars. Thanks for pointing out my flaw as I have obviously pointed yours out in your inability to read things properly.

hey man, don't knock his driver ability! You would have to have great throttle control to be able to get that blistering 96.5Kw to the ground without losing traction in every gear and shredding through tyres. :laughing-smiley-014:

:laughing-smiley-014: aaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.................. :laughing-smiley-014:

i think u take the posts in this thread waaaaaaaay too seriosuly.....lol

Hmm... I think I just created a shitstorm...

So in the end, if his mouth is where his car is really at and he has a vastly superior suspension setup to mine and he is able to keep 110kw to the road at all times, tehre is a possibility he could keep up with a 240kw skyline with a GT30R and a good tune?...

IMO, Celica's are hairdresser cars, please dont tell me otherwise cause I know of 2 with Celicas...

Car was an unmodified bone stock SSS back then Khanh hehe running on crap tyres.

Car is very slow on the straight also very slow around corners back then.

Battery tray nuts worked themself loose and started to rattle :D

I honestly dont know where this is going? 2 different cars 2 different drivers. If you both have balls of steel then it would be something to talk about, we dont know what both of you a like at driving etc and if your willing to push your cars to there maxium limit. its to hard to tell. as i said earlier in the thred would you expect so see a stock std ca18 silvia out run a light modded gtr on the mountain? alot of people wouldnt so?? :D

haha so are lancers..

Did you mention you used to own a Lancer? :P

------------

But on topic.. Providing both have aftermarket suspension that is setup correctly it really comes down to who has the biggest balls of them all.

ROFL Peter man, i didnt know you read SAU. Get back to PGA.

Yeah its been a year it wasnt bone stock, you had gsd3 tyres on it. and you had that whiteline package with the teins didnt you? You weren't slow man I was trying to keep up

I still think you're nuts

haha alright man you're making me look bad lol

Your car's come a long way since then hey. I like your nismo lsd, kind of weird being on the front wheels though but pretty cool how the wheel flicks back so quick with it.

Anyway no more info lol this aint our thread I'll talk to you later on

I didnt mention celica's were "hairdresser" cars. Thanks for pointing out my flaw as I have obviously pointed yours out in your inability to read things properly.

I never said you did. If you have a look at my original post, I quoted two different people and addressed them together.

Your inability to read properly strikes again.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
