i foudn this on trade me wat do u people think ? i m not so sure thats why i ask

if this is true i m starting to think my GT4 st205 is a peice of shit LOL (jks)

[Alex B]

FYI everything you read on the internet is true.

[Malcolm]

150kW? You would get that out of a Beams engined one (which this isn't), but not at the wheels, and the only gt4s it's going to be faster than are stock st165 and st185s

[Adamal]

Yea, 150KW made me double take...

Is that from an auction or something? Got a link?

[matt dunn]

-DYNO @ 150KW

Easy, 100kw at the wheels, and 35% drivetrain loss = about 150kw.

[dougsop]

OF COZ i have the link wahahah

[Adydas]

Its all relative tho, you cant mesure a GT4 at the wheels and a curren at the motor and say its got more power.

Its not apples for apples is it.

[dougsop]

lol i just dun understand why would that guy say FASTER than a GT4 ~ hehe

[Malcolm]

because he's a $&#$% trying to sell his car with ridiculous bodykit to a retard who doesn't test drive it first to see it's not fast at all.

[FYADUP]

ahahaha what a crock of !%$@. theyre slow, i bet one of those cars when my Gti rolla was NA, only 100 kw at thew wheels ahaha. and i had and extra person
LOL

-DYNO @ 150KW

Easy, 100kw at the wheels, and 35% drivetrain loss = about 150kw.

That's if it was 4WD, but a Curren isn't

Not sure about that curren, but mine has a double plate and a short shift close ratio box... They were in it when it was imported... that doesnt help the torque, but it does make it a lil quicker...

[vvega]

i can tell you there not faster than a 165

i think they feel fast but they dun go fast ~ coz i have a 2.2L manual SSII as well as a GT4 st205 when u ar traveling at around 50 u feel like u ar going 80 while on a GT4 u go around 80 u feel like u ar doing 50 i bet that guy never looked at the speedmeter LOL

[sergei]

N/A cars don't feel fast. 20V / 3SGE feel very flat compare to 3SGTE.
where 3STGE pulls, GE struggle, where GE pulls, GTE still ok.

[blackie]

Purely and simply.. the guys a knob.

[sigma]

Purely and simply.. the guys a knob.

agreed

Not quite on topic here but I would like to point out that there's no such thing as a true 2.2litre SS2. It is in fact a Celica GT with a 5s-fe engine as the SS2 came with the 2litre 3s-ge engine. the 2.2 litre 5s-fe motor produces 135 horsepower at peak while the 2.0 litre 3s-ge produces 180 Bhp at peak.

As for the topic, it would be difficult for any N/a ports car to keep up with a turbo sports car unless it had some MAJOR work done to it. In which case you'd be better off buying a turboed sports car and doing some minor mods to it thereby gaining more performance and generaly longer lifespan and reliability. (well thats my opinion anyway)

[RomanV]

Glenn AKA Celica RA45 is making 180kw at the wheels, with a 3SGE...

Which has a rather nice torque curve too, considering.

Enough to give a few turbo engines more than a scare, that's for sure.

That isnt to say that it hasnt had an obscene amount of money/work/time spent on it however....
You could make the same power (if not more, and with far more torque) for MUCH less with a turbo engine.

Pretty sure that the 2.2 Celica was the only ST202 version available as New Zealand new (may have been a few BEAMS powered cars later on). Also, that 's the same model that the US market received.
