  • How much did it cost to put a turbo in?

  • @ATLcameron For everything engine related including tuning etc I would estimate $8,000.

  • @00gtshope You must really like your car...

  • car sounds like its running very clean nice job

  • @blackttsupra320 Thanks. You have a supra? I always kind of regretted not finding a supra to fix up instead of the Celica.

  • @00gtshope haha no i wish, i had a srt-4 w/ tune, downpipe, wastegate, and intake pushing set @ 17-18lbs of boost but the transmissions suck in them after a while, especially when the ac's on

  • White Face Gauge overlays...where did the blue needles come from though?

  • @form109 Removed the needles and painted them blue. The LEDs I changed shine up the needles like the stock orange used to.

  • @00gtshope so the stock orange illumination is LED's?...like the tiny SMD Kind?...im guessing those white overlay's are EL so they glow correct?

    and what color is the illumination now...do the needles still light up or is there no need to with the white face overlays?

  • @form109 It's hard to see in the daylight in this video but the gauge face is actually silver. It does not glow. I removed all the stock orange LEDs from the gauge cluster and soldered in new blue LEDs. I then removed the orange paint from the needles and used a matching blue model paint to paint the needles. The needles now light up blue from the blue LEDs in the gauge face. Hope that makes sense to you. I think I have another video that was shot at night if you want to check it.

  • Love that great turbosound =)

    I also want to swap my Celica to Turbo 

  • monkey wrench is god awful. i took my friends celica gt-t there for tuning and some work. on the way driving the car home which is a 300 mile drive the coils went out when they said they checked them. then his trans blew up and when we went to swap it the impacted everything down. they do not understand torque specs at all. i went through 5 ratchets and 4 breaker bars. and if they didnt impact the bolt down it wasnt tightened at all. that is why monkeywrench is awful. they can tune but thats it.

  • @kohl2012edwards That's too bad you had a bad experience. MWR was the only place that could get my car up and running properly. I spent thousands on other shops just to end up with it worse than before.

  • its only worth boosting if it has low miles and you have money to go through all internals but good for you, nice ride

  • im thinking of getting one ...nice car

  • @plutocanhack did you get one ? im gonna get one in the next few days and im gonna pimp the hell out of it lol.

  • I presume you enjoy it more with more power, but do you ever miss the 'hit' of lift? I love the feeling of hitting lift :)

  • @cupidstock Lift is very cool but the sound and the turbo wind up is even better! Love turbo.

  • how much did you pay for the install and tunning of the turbo kit?

  • @albertofanel Well it took three shops across two countries to get it done. It cost me probably 3-4K but it should be half of that if you find a shop who has a clue in the first place. Matt at Monkeywrench Racing in Detroit finally got it done right.

  • @00gtshope oh man well i dont have much options since i live in baja, guess ill go to sandiego or maybe LA thanks for the info

  • i know the 2zz-ge motor has vvtli. is there still a lift with a turbo added?

  • @stringsforlife There is still lift but you can barely feel it since it is smoothed out in the tuning.

  • What's that sound between shifting

  • @ryver101 seriously? It's the blow off valve.

  • Single turbo or twin turbo?

  • @AndyBubbi Single

  • @00gtshope what exhaust system do you have?

  • @virk424 Custom 3" stainless steel from the turbo to the back.

  • as if i would wanna look at the back of a dudes head in HD :P

  • im not really into celicas but ill give credit where credit is due, you got yours moving pretty quick.

  • Greetings 00gtshope, I was wondering if this was a custom install by you, or a kit? If so what kit did you use? I just rebuilt my engine myself, and I am planning on installing turbo for my engine real soon. I have a 00' GT though. :) Any suggestions or warnings would be awesome! :)

  • @Surakusa It was originally a C2 turbo kit but then had a bunch of extras added to it like custom exhaust, gauges, PowerFC ECU etc. The GT and GTS are such different machines, I don't have any help for you on that one besides to take it to Monkeywrench Racing in Detroit if you have the ability to. Matt fixed it up beautifully after three other shops wasted thousands of my dollars!

  • nice vid but its like, i wanna see where im going.

  • I miss my Celica... a freaking illegal Mexican driving a Chevy s10 ran a red light and totaled my baby. Just a testament to Toyota, with 170,000 on my 04, I still received $9800 from my insurance company. Mind you I did total my expensive rims and stereo equipment(radio,speakers,monit­or got wet from rain after the accident) minus the subs and amps(took those) but that only accounts for about $1300.

  • @Sp33dyD3m0n Of course I turned right around to look for another just like mine but no one was selling theirs at the time. I had the GT-S with the ground effect package and the large spoiler in silver. I would have taken any color but red but I never found any except the plain old every day Celica. Ended up getting an 09 Subaru WRX, so the pain subsided. 265hp, 223.5awhp, 13.3 pounds of boost, doing 0-60 in 4.8sec. I miss my baby, but this was an upgrade.

  • hey how did u find a frame for ur radio? im trying to change out the stock radio, but then it doesnt look smooth like yours!

  • @mocki1001 It was installed about 7 years ago with the new deck by a local shop. Should be pretty easy to find.

  • mmmmmmmmmmmm that shit purrrrrrrrrssss

  • Hello i have a 00 GT do you think is worth fixing it or should i get a GT-S please email me dayanmartin@yahoo.com thank you

  • @Dayan3o5 Depends how much the repairs are and how much you can get a GT-S for.

  • @00gtshope only thing different about the gts and the gt is the options, still has the same motor and tranny.

  • @lor3nzod Don't know what country you are in but in North America they are very different. Different engines, different tranny options like 6 speed in GTS and better brakes in GTS etc.

  • @lor3nzod no! GTS has a 6 speed manual (5 speed auto) with a VVTLI and 4 wheel abs disk brakes, the GT is is VVTI 5 speed manual (4 auto) So learn your shit dumbass

  • how much is a GReddy supercharger for the ZZT231?

  • is it worth twin turbo charging a celica gts? and what will it take

  • @ivandabomb09 Takes a lot. I wouldn't do it again but that's because I'm an adult with lots of other bills now.

  • how did you get the gas light on the cluster to go from orange to blue?

  • @wcslax8932 Replaced the LEDs.

  • question. what type of celica has the gauge cluster to the left of the windshield?

  • @natemlb7 None. I put them there with the turbo install to monitor the engine.

  • Hey! It's very nice car and nice vedio :) I'm just wondering how much it usually cost to instal turbo on celica gts?

  • @wpaahgod I would say I'm about 5-6 thousand for the turbo including exhaust, engine management etc.

  • @00gtshope dang! thats a great out put with that money! i mean.. its not small money but with that money, if u can pull that much out, that must be really good engine! i really like 2zzge engine!! i also like vtecs... but 2zzge is my absolute favor!!!

  • Hows the torque steer?

  • @eclipsegsx765 It's pretty bad sometimes over 6500 up to 8500rpm. Gotta hold on.

  • @Ivandabomb09

    Not really about boost, More on the tune and the gain. The guys from MWR run 410whp on stock internals. Although the very least you could do are pistons and bearings at that level. :)

  • im currently running 18psi on a garret gt3076r with 9:1 malie pistons mwr rods stock injectors 255 fuel pump port and polished head stock cams stock head gasket apexi power fc with aem electronic boost controller and aem air fuel ratio aem fuel pressure regulator arp head studs rod bolts and mwr main bearings and rod bearings upgraded ring an pinion jubu racing gear third and forth and im putting 350 to the wheels at 265lbs of touque running rich its a beast these engines are made for turbos

  • it's a bad ass...cool

  • Hey man, wana get a celica gt since its cheaper...can the car run a turbo on a stock engine? (small turbo)

  • @ivandabomb09 oh yeah. for sure.

  • @00gtshope hell yeahh!! whats the recommended psi (maxx) for a stock engine

  • Sorry if I sound like an idiot but do all the celicas have the meters on the side?

  • @JoshGonzales512 No, those are to monitor the turbo and engine.

  • man i love the celica, but i hear a pinging, do you run premium in it? or is it just some noise from the way the cameras sitting? The gt-s is a high compression engine so the little puppy demands premium :/

  • @dschmidtertv Must be something else. It has only had premium gas since the day I bought it, 11 yrs ago!

  • This car is awesome! PLEASE make more videos

  • Sick car, idk why people are talkin' so much shit, haha.

  • which brand is that dvd receiver you have on the dash?

  • I have an idea, make a video of you driving the piece of crap off the side of the highway.

  • @whitechocolate1770 Go end your life moron.

  • @whitechocolate1770 someones jealous

  • nice voice while changing the gear

  • @gusnhde93 I don't even know what that means! I don't say a word during this video.

  • @00gtshope he means the turbo noise (turbo whistle)

  • @00gtshope i think he means the sound of the gearbox ;)

  • OMG ! Amazing !

  • @NexussLoyal Thanks

  • hey bro what kind of exhaust do you have on it, and if you dont mind me asking what was the price, and where did you get it?

  • @IBallForLife5 it's a 3" custom stainless steel exhaust from the turbo to the back. It was about $1000 I think. Matt at Monkeywrench Racing put it on and then tuned the car. They are in Detroit.

  • @IBallForLife5 Stock pistons and rings?

  • @manuelagrasrodriguez Yes, stock internals.

  • @00gtshope Welll I will go now to find one and buy it.. This car with 300 hp or 330 amazing for street use, if you wanna more pounds you will need injectors pistons n rings and gas pump

  • @00gtshope try to buy wiseco pist

  • hey man, im going to buy a 2001 gts and its all stock, how much did u spend to get it like yours?

    nice car btw!

  • @melmp3 Thanks. If I had to guess I'd have to say 15-20 thousand for everything. (not including the car itself)

  • @00gtshope Stock pistons and rings?

  • Thumbs up if you heard the beer bottles in background :P

  • Solder blue ones? niiiice. You said you have 3" exhaust system, why? In turbo magazines they say 2.5" can handle 300 horses without too much back pressure, but you did say the car ran very well so I'll assume valves aren't bent. Car looks very freakin' nice.

  • @aworkingman Thanks. I did a lot of reading before putting on the turbo and every shop that had boosted GT-Ss said that 3" was basically a necessity so I went with it. Not a big price difference between 2.5 and 3".

  • fucking beautifull

  • nice pull! sounds great!

  • FLOOR IT!!!

  • @00gtshope

    does vvtL-i engine need any revision for the turbo in terms of pistons new jackets etc. or not?

  • @mrkickeratlive Not if you are going with low boost. Mine runs 5 psi on low and 8psi on High. Has been running great for years, including passing emission tests etc.. with a 3" stainless steel exhaust with high flow cat.

  • @00gtshope hey, nice vid. I have a question- hope i dont sound dumb lol, but those gauges that you have like the fuel, tach, etc. are they customized? bc they look blue, i thought they were supposed to be orange.... dont get me wrong because they look awsome. thanks

  • @NaturalSwagger thanks. I removed the dash and desoldered all the orange LEDs and soldered on new blue ones.

  • @00gtshope ohh, nice. they look great. thanks.

  • Watching this video made me realize how much I miss driving that car. Thinking about getting another one real soon.

  • did you buy forged pistons or just gonna run low boost?

  • @drifterboyy93

    I didn't buy forged. I'm running 8psi on Hi.

  • @00gtshope can i ask u a question bout the blow off vavle, does the blow off valve consume fuel, causing ur fuel to run low faster?? thanks

  • @richkid62 No, it just releases the extra boost that has built up when you release the throttle. Shouldn't use any fuel.

  • Hey :)

    1st. nice video

    2nd. Im thinking to buy on my 18 Birthday a Toyota Celica TS 2001 would you recomend that ??? (it will be my first car)

  • @mousa4321

    1st. Thanks

    2nd. I think it's a great car. You just have to be careful buying it cause people beat on them because they are a reasonably fast car for the money.

  • I wish my celica sounded like that..

  • uhmm i dont thing theres a celica wit a turbo or a compressor guys....i live in greece and grew up in the states...this celica never had turbos or compressors...theres one 1.8 143hp and the gts with the 192hp...and the gts goes up to like 8000rps if imnot mistakin...the stock one wit the 143 goes up to 6500 rpms....i never had one but i really do think they never had compressors....atleast i never saw one!!

  • 0:45 lots of beer in the trunk XD

    Mmmmmmmmm...beer !

  • bov made me jizz my pants

  • Sexy sound from the BOV and nice car. I want one celica engine for my rolla :/

  • why you builded in another turbo? the gt-s already has a compressor...

  • @TheAccountjuh

    Don't know what country you are in but it is not a turbo in most countries.

  • @00gtshope naa it is not a turbo but i mean a compressor... but i love the sound when you hear the turbo when you are shifting :D

    and btw is youre roof off or something?

  • @TheAccountjuh

    OK, well I don't know what that means?? The moonroof may have been open, it'd be nice if it would come off.

  • @00gtshope yea it should be nice if its open. and what i mean is.. when you shift you hear tsss i like that sound :D

  • @TheAccountjuh someone must have made up a story about compressor and you believed in it. toyota did not make any VII gen celica with compressor, nor turbo (for any markets). there are however aftermarket compressor sets but most of celicas are n/a.

  • @vubevube huh? do you got a gt-s? my dad has a gt-s and when he reach the 6,3 rpm the compressor kicks in and that gives you another boost...

  • @TheAccountjuh no i don't have gt-s i have gt turbo but that's irrelevant. the thing that kicks in is not the compressor!!! it's called LIFT and ... well i won't explain it to you cause i don't have technician knowledge but your dad's engine is naturally aspirated, there's no compressor in it! btw. compressor works from like 2k rpm if you would have one. if you want to know a thing or two about celica go to newcelica (dot) org

  • @vubevube mmhh, oke thanks for tip :D

  • @00gtshope lol

  • @TheAccountjuh i think ur confussing the euro model or something. in american nothing has a stock compressor/supercharger.

  • @eddie6974 Yea that could, I live in the europe so.....

  • How much did you pay for all the racing kit? I have a 2000 celica stock and I want to put a turbo in

  • @Dayan3o5

    It's all explained a couple times further down the page.

  • Sounds sweet, is that the stock transmission? if so how much hp can they handle?

    does the engine have stock internal parts or did you put forged pistons?

    Id appreciate it if you could respond, Thanks

  • @tkspaul

    I have a race clutch/flywheel rated at 300lb/ft. with stock internals.

  • nice car man how much hp at the crank? i plan on getting myself a GT-S once i find a job really nice cars ;P

  • @DizNBoiAz

    Thanks. I have no idea how much at the crank but it's 269hp at the wheels.

  • what are you running for a setup, a kit or custom?

  • @sucha603boy

    It is a C2 turbo kit but I got my own engine management and custom stainless 3" exhaust and gauges etc.

  • nice bov, what kinda is it?

  • @PhamBoyFresh

    SARD R2D2

  • how did you get your gas gauge to glow blue? mines stuck that orangy yellow color

  • @689otto

    I desoldered the old LEDs and soldered on new blue ones I bought online years ago.

  • yo i have a 94 celica gt with the 2.2l 5spd where is the best place to find cheep aftermarket parts? I already have a short ram cai and a full stainless exaust but i want more power its not fast enough. Do you also have any ideas what else i can do for cheep hp?

  • @94XceilicaXpwnsXyou

    There's nothing CHEAP that'll give you HP worth the money.

  • Any 1/4 mile numbers??

  • @fndrplyr9

    sorry, no.  might take it to track next summer.

  • what turbokit under the hood?...

  • they are all aftermaket

  • your 3rd gear is quick.... but i think turbo isnt worth it.

  • how much was in total for all the thing in the gt-s ?

  • @czf21

    Thanks.  About 8 to 10 grand for everything. All the specs etc are further down this page.

  • Now this is a sexy car .

  • damn i have a stock automatic celica gt 2000 and it kinda sucks compared to this one but for a first car i love it

  • @JMTRnb69

    I know, I still love the car and I'm 30 now! Had it for ten yrs and only drive it maybe ten times a year. Drive the more practical cars daily.

  • these cars are too much fun but if you wanna get laid take the gauges off the pillar ay.

  • @pookypookypookypooky

    oh yeah, I'd def get laid if I took the gauges off and blew the engine. They are there for a reason.

  • @00gtshope i think what the guy ment was, putting the gauges on pillar is played out, but i think it looks ok. I am in the process of installing 2 gauges in front of the clock. hope it'll come up nicely. I'll upload a video of it once it's done.

  • @pookypookypookypooky LOL not theyre not ya fucking weirdo

  • @pookypookypookypooky

    I'm sure this guy doesn't have to rely on a car to get action. Everything looks top notch on this build, nice car man.  Gauges are done right and look good.

  • i need a blowout valve my shit jerks wayyy to much,..

  • what blow off valve do you have??

  • @gtastuntcrew302

    SARD R2D2

  • @00gtshope lol r2d2

  • wow it took like 8 seconds to go from 40 to 100. that i wanna see in person:)

  • where do you get it tuned?????

  • @corollabeast123

    Got it tuned perfectly at Monkey Wrench Racing in Detroit. They did a great job installed a few more things and tuning it for me. Highly recommend MWR.

  • where did you get the turbo at???

  • @corollabeast123

    Got it online from C2 but that was years ago. Not sure they even exist anymore.

  • What does it run at the track?

  • @rhythmnsmoke

    I haven't taken it since being tuned properly.

  • @00gtshope Have you ever taken it to the track?

  • @rhythmnsmoke

    only once about 5 years ago before it was turbo. Nothing impressive. I will try to take it next summer to the track.

  • @00gtshope Kool..

  • your thoughts on the gt28rs?

  • @krazzyyo2

    Never had any problems, spools up quickly, sounds great.

  • Yo, Jyts When I Heard The 1st Shift..It was...Beast Lol.

  • ive had my gt-s for 10 years now. i'd be happy to get another 10 years out of it. fun to drive, good gas mileage, and it still gets looks.

  • were did u get your turbo

  • sick car..is that beer bottles i hear clunking in the back:P
