It can make 900bhp... For about 10 pulls. The block is realistically capable of 600-700bhp reliably. I have a few of these and my most powerful one cracked a cylinder at 500bhp. It's ultimately the luck of the draw, but telling people that the 3S block is capable of holding 900 is not realistic.
My friend has a Huracan and sent me the link to this video saying, "This car looks sick!" - so, you're not wrong about the attention! lol. Always wanted one of these! Biggup from the UK! 👍
When I lived in okinawa, there was a dude that had a red Celica GT-4 and it was fast. Like a time machine. I don't know what he had or did to it but the boost was insane. If he offered to give me a ride home, I would be terrified !!! Still to this day it haunts me. Other AWD cars (Pulsar GTI-R and Skyline GTS-4,) didn't match up. He did end up getting a Caldina GT because he was starting a family. He regretted spending so much money on his celica and wished he saved it and spent it on his wedding and baby stuff instead. One thing that stood out was his celica's front hood. Next to the hood scoop was a hole and it looked like a F-14 tomcat's cannon. LOL
@@libramoon9968 that is absolutely nuts!! I hope I’m able to see a Celica GT-4 on that level or maybe even be at that level one day down the road with mine
As the owner of an '89 Supercharged MR2 I am totally feeling this ride! Like you said though,,,that paint needs work. It's holding the car back from truly poppin'!!
@@RodalAuto Thanks Bro! Just remember,,no matter how bad times can sometimes get NEVER SELL HER! You'll regret it immediately. They just don't make cars like this any more and prices are going up on classic JDM cars every year.
Just saw the GTF plate, mine is Calico 🤣 Also, usually the japanese you hear from that little box/module is telling you there isn't a toll road card inserted.
@@RodalAuto Thought it was fitting since that's how I heard about the car, I'm sure the SAGA Rally guys would be upset to hear that though lol. And yeah I do, just followed you actually!
@@EricJergs Awesome, and I’m a huge gta fan, knew about the car before but when they added it to the game I just had to get my hands on one. I’m too young for the SAGA rally days😅
Beautiful example man. Mine is very similar to her. Not my profile picture 😂 shes needing a respray but has no rust luckily. Good news is shes 460bhp, uprated suspension and brakes. Currently in the garage getting a full service and a few things finished off. The gauge Id recommended attachment on pillar. Honestly your car is a beauty
Hey thank you so much! Yours sounds like an absolute beast! Maybe one day I’ll get to your power level. I have been looking at gauges and mounts, where do you get the A pillar mount?
rad car.i lived in Australia and kept doing that with the wipers. i got to drive an r33 there my friend had. im building a crazy car right now using an old rare datsun as the donner
Also wanted to add, I had an 88 alltrac celica myself, one of the worst drivetrain and engine setups I've ever had the pleasure to work on, had to drop the engine and transmission together, turn it sideways and then unlock it, then separate it silo style, was insane Also had a 95 GT celica loved the cockpit feel
@@YungSteambuns Yea my plan is to get the projector headlights at some point. And that’s crazy you had to drop the transmission like that! Didn’t know the all trac was that bad. And the interior really feels good in this thing!
You might keep the blitz boost guage. The OEM one is considered accurate only to answer "is there boost?" but not really how much. I also recommend checking the date on that flare. Mine was expired. Could be a fire hazard, I'm not sure. You can buy LED road lights that are safer.
Nice car man. I have a 95 GT4 as well. It definitely feels slow for what it is but that’s just the nature of the ct20b turbo is. I have a EBC on mine set to 16lbs and that wakes it up a bit. The 3SGTE is a great, known, engine found in the celica alltrac and Toyota MR2s, which I was fortunate enough to have owned both a 1988 Alltrac and a 91 MR2T sw20. Been wanting to get the xona turbo for it with the idea of building up the engine one day, but I have other projects and the thought of modifying it when it runs and looks so good feel like I’m not doing it any good. I will take vids of mine, eventually. lol.
@@mindriddle that’s amazing!! Also to own a couple other of the cars from generally the same platform is pretty cool too. I definitely want to see what the new turbo does!
If you're comfortable mentioning the price, I would be interested. Obviously being JDM I'm sure you got a good deal, but these babies are stupid rare and expensive now. I really wanted one, but I also needed a daily and something that wouldn't break the bank (My 88' Supra does that PLENTY enough lol, $24K into her on a stock motor and she still needs paint...) so I went with a 145K miles 01' Celica GT-S $8K. I don't regret it for a second, but of course you have the ACTUAL top tier Toyota here. She looks insane and I hope she's running ok along with cosmetic stuff for you.
@@rushnerd Hey man I really appreciate it and you put it absolutely perfectly. I’m super fortunate to have been able to afford it after all the hard work. I won’t say the price just yet publicly but if you message me I’d let you know. Again I appreciate it!
I've got a decent Ken wood double din from the same car. Should plug straight in, but might need the adapter kit. I'm in the UK, I'm sure we could work something out
@@RodalAuto unsure how to give you my contact details without it being in a reply here (which I don't want to do for obvious reasons!) got a FB page or something?
About your brakes. VERIFY that they are actually worn. A common upgrade is ceramic brakes and they will always squeak. you need to check the pad thickness yourself. They are a high temp threshold brake, so in order to begin working well they must be very hot. if they are cool they will slide and squeak until they are warmed up from driving. If you watch those videos of 600+hp GTRs in Japan driving around, they will squeak when they park. it is almost synonymous
@@twrcrew8852 that’s what I thought was going on with this car. I went through the brakes and had the resurfaced and I cleaned all of them up. Properly re lubed them and now there’s no more squeaking. The squeaking is different than those GTRs in Japan that you are talking about. New video on the brakes soon!
8:12 nice factory rear upper strut bar. Did the Us celicas come with that? Sick car I would only upgrade your steering wheel to an OEM newer style like FRS style
@@carlosarellano4 Honestly I don’t know if the US Celicas came with that. And my plan is to get a nice steering wheel for it, hopefully flat bottom and maybe some carbon on it
@@jonathanpineda5477 not bad so far besides the brakes. Their brake discs are impossible to find in the US. Haven’t ran into anything else that is hard to get thankfully
@@RodalAuto I’m in the US as well man. I was digging to see more info on this car about the parts and stuff. I’m sure your trying to keep it oem when you can out other brakes on. Nice damn car tho man.
any of those vintage gauges in Japan are worth quite a bit. There's a resurging subculture right now in japan of "as it once was". Where instead of going with all the modern tuning equipment, people are freezing their cars in time and building them to resemble all of the best parts that came out in the 90s during the hay day. Apexi PFCs, Blitz and HKS equipment. period correct equipment. Keep it! it can be sold back to an enthusiast.
@@RodalAuto When my peers were all kids tuning these things originally (by kids i mean in their late 20s... lol man i'm old) they had very poor taste on where to place these gauges. Still to this day actually. America is far ahead of Japan in terms of putting effort into dashboard cohesion. with moldings and such. They just screwed them anywhere. in front. on the passenger side. in the back seat... (jk). But yes, really stupid places. You can see a lot of this garbage modification still exists today. A lot of these cars have crossed the seas already and you can see this. Did you know many of those modified cars were honestly never touched for a decade at times and the owner/custodian just hastily preps it for sale to cash in on the market? So a lot of those random gauges stuck all over the interior was installed just as you see them back in the 90s and early 2000s and the car sat in some grass or the side street since like 2008 and then got sold and gets driven for the first real time in ages in the USA. Whenever you see some of those highly modified and particularly faded cappuccinos and such rolling around in the USA that run rough or odd, that's exactly what they are.
@@twrcrew8852 woah that’s actually crazy to think about. Honestly never even thought of it that way. I think you’re right for the most part tho! Thank you for the info, that’s super cool!!
@RodalAuto the one I saw was a 1991 all trac with the pop up headlight. This was 20 years ago. The kid was like 19 it was his grandfather car he gave him. I have never seen one again after that.
i want one of those, but i mean, its gonna be my first car and i am scared the previous owner just bothered about filling the gas tank xD for now i cant spend much money on maintenace
@@RodalAuto where are you located? There only 1 other gt4, supposedly, around where I’m at here in Columbus OH. I should probably start posting some vids of mine on UA-cam. I’ve had mine for a few years now and is just a garage queen and I take it out once in a while to a C&C
Raced a Focus ST mk3 the other day was all over it. also raced a "friends" Mk3 Focus RS (Stock just a Miltek exhaust), My GT4 ST205 was slightly faster. mines running slightly higher boost 1.1 Bar with exhaust and Apexi intake and standard ECU. Raced a mates Mk7.5 Golf R has a res delete was neck and neck. Faster than a Mercedes A35 AMG. For a car thats 30 years old it can still hang with the modern cars, it surprises most people. I do love how the Focus RS drives tho, the steering is so good.
Random useless information: in Australia it’s pronounced se-lee-ca, rather than sella-ca. it always throws me off when an American pronounced it. Lovely car though.
@@RodalAuto whatever it is get something light and keep oem diameter, and size the tires properly. lots of people think putting the biggest tire you can fit on the wheel is the best, which is incorrect
Thank you guys so much for your recent support! I really appreciate all of you! Stay tuned for more videos!

@@RodalAuto where are you located? There only 1 other gt4, supposedly, around where I’m at here in Columbus OH. I should probably start posting some vids of mine on UA-cam. I’ve had mine for a few years now and is just a garage queen and I take it out once in a while to a C&C
@@mindriddle I’m from the Metro Detroit area. Why not make some videos!
super clean🧼🔥
@@downshiftchris Thanks man!🤝
I had one very reliable car
Nice! How much was it if ya don't mind? If ya don't want the wife knowing the price I get it lol
@@jraddd3477 hehe I won’t spill the beans just yet. Maybe in an upcoming video! Also single AF🤣
@@RodalAuto My guess is 15k lol
Focus feels faster because it has more torque than the Celica.
Ahh yes this makes a lot of sense
Raced a Focus ST mk3 the other day was all over it. also raced a "friends" Mk3 Focus RS (Stock just a Miltek exhaust), My GT4 ST205 was slightly faster. mines running slightly higher boost 1.1 Bar with exhaust and Apexi intake and standard ECU.
Raced a mates Mk7.5 Golf R has a res delete was neck and neck.
Faster than a Mercedes A35 AMG.
For a car thats 30 years old it can still hang with the modern cars, it surprises most people.
I do love how the Focus RS drives tho, the steering is so good.
@@StayinMidnight no way! I’ll have to try the mk3 Focus then!
I have this car in gta.
@@Jparkss One of the best cars in Gta
@@RodalAuto ya damn skippy😎
This car is cool. I didnt like them at first.

Acura Integra on crack. They don't make cars like they used to anymore.
They definitely don’t!
I got one in Gran Turismo but that doesn’t count
Pretty close to it!
Random useless information: in Australia it’s pronounced se-lee-ca, rather than sella-ca. it always throws me off when an American pronounced it. Lovely car though.
Haha, hope I didn’t throw you off too bad!
@@RodalAuto nah, just need to re-adjust.
BRUH what’s wrong with the steering wheel lol
@@luisvilla799 DONT WORRY ABOUT IT… lmao needs an alignment and literally a new steering wheel. She old
its a tiny supra
@@caduguardrailkingowo Supras older brother
There are more celicas than supras
Lovely car, but if you don’t mind me saying, I would inch up on the wheels to be Honest, I think it would look a lot better, Drive safe.
@@eurotom288 thanks for the feedback! I agree though, I’d like to get some 17 or 18 inch wheels on it at some point
smaller wheels are better
@@arcanevoid9199 I dig the small wheels too. Still trying to figure out what direction I’m going when it comes to wheels
@@RodalAuto whatever it is get something light and keep oem diameter, and size the tires properly. lots of people think putting the biggest tire you can fit on the wheel is the best, which is incorrect
@@arcanevoid9199 That’s the plan, I’m not one of those guys lmao
