RS Grant

lol, thanks Dave..... someone once told me these cars were hard to tune above 320bhp too!! Pffft.. Stuart, I used to beat you in the Silver Scoob, then you went mental on yours.... so I had to do something drastic mate?! Cheers, Grant

<< im off up there soon, if thats the case im expecting 500 bhp with similar torque!!! >> Ormiboy, let us know how close you get to your projected figures.... << I must say grant, I do like the REAL celicas. None of these watered down new shape nonsense ones. PROPER cars. With 400 ponies it must go like stink >> Stephen, I've always liked the real Celicas too.. Think the new ones are a bit girly when you compare them to a GT4. Aye, its a nippy wee fooker with the 400bhp, as the driver of a ((6 Carrera 4S found out to his peril........ I'm not sure about the RX8's though, however, if its got a Dastek Sticker in the window then I would guess its got a Unichip on-board. << Awesome spec. Does your car have the Air Throttle?, which i believe was fitted to some GT4 WRC's and gives a mild form of Anti lag. Hats off to the Toyota Grant >> Thanks Grant... The spec seems to do the job!! The GT4 WRC's all come with Anti-Lag as part of the homologation regulations at the time... there are other parts they have too W/I capabilities, No ABS etc. All of these are disabled, the Anti-Lag is very harsh, I've read that if enabled it will kill a standard turbo within a few hundred miles. << Must have been a nice surprise Grant! At least you know what you can go back to if the extra mods make it too laggy! Nice one ! Dave >> Damn right it was a shock Dave........ I'm in 2 minds with the FMIC to be honest, I'm tempted to lag the Chargecooler and keep the W/I as the TD06 is reasonably laggy anyway and I'm pretty sure it'll only get worse with the Front Mount. << Well done Grant but that is an awesome spec engine... >> Thanks mate, it was rebuilt down in Nottingham by a respected specialist on the Owners Club...... and I cant praise the work he's done enough, the car is a bit of a monster, but still very easy to drive despite the paddle clutch, etc. Cheers, Grant

Engine: 86.5mm JE forged pistons Eagle Conrods JUN 264 In & Ex Cams JUN Valve Springs JUN Adj. Cam Gears ATS TD06 Turbo with Tial 20g External Wastegate & Screamer Pipe Straight Induction Kit Conversion with Samco Hosing Huge Steel Mesh Induction Kit Blitz Nur Spec-R Exhaust Aussie Centre Section with High Flow Sports Cat and Flexi Section Full Downpipe from Turbo to Aussie, with Screamer Pipe Walbro Fuel Pump (TBF) Boost Controller running 0.95bar Sard Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator (TBF) Battery Relocation to the Boot Couldnt believe it, that was only at 0.05bar more than standard... I was going to be happy with 400-420 when I fit the MoTec, 850's W/I and FMIC, fook knows what it'll make now when its got all that fitted at 1.8bar?! Cheers, Grant

...well, I nearly pissed myself laughing when I was told what my car made on the Dyno today!! Wandered through the workshop to view the 2nd run with the operator. The coveration went like this: Him - "Any idea what you lookin for then?" Me - "Dunno, it made 271 standard, so 280+ I'd be happy with... I'll be so happy if I go away at 300!!" He Stops walking........ and gives me a puzzled look Him - "Well, its just made 400?!!" Me - "Haha, yea.. I wish mate, that would be awesome.." Him (Laughing Now)- "Seriously, its just made about 400 on the first run" Me - *Laughed.... Couldnt say anything.... Only able to laugh* End result was: 400.2bhp and 317ft/lb To say I am happy would be a HUGE understatement!!!! Cheers, Grant

Think you've already got mine Peetaaaay... But I'll PM them just in case!! Cheers, Grant

Can people please keep this near the top of the Forum as I'm likely to forget otherwise.... Cheers, Grant

Is it a general thrash day then?? If it is and I have my EBC fitted and runnign perfectly, I may be tempted to give the '4 a thrash up the strip!! Cheers, Grant

Dougie, thats a fair point mate... I was just wanting to know if Sam thought he could manage a GT4 as I've never heard of one being mapped by him before. If someone could PM me his contact details then that'd be great, I'll just get in touch directly. Cheers, Grant

Aye, Rare-Rims can only knock a tenner off that... and they arent listing the TarmacII's just the Gra's instead. Cheers, Grant

From what I've read on various Forums, they are incredibly light wheels but are still very strong. The Honda boys absolutely love them....... If they can sort me out a decent deal on a wheel that will clear my brakes, I'll be considering them when I go for some 18's on the GT4 because you get awesome prices on Rotas from RareRims. Cheers, Grant

Defo black mate... there was a guy selling a 2.5 UK300 on 18" Prodrives in Black and it looked mean as fook!! Are they the Rotas?? Cheers, Grant

.....Give me a minute and you'll have a PM mate. Cheers, Grant

If I can make it with work, prior commitments, etc... I will come along to a Fife Meet. Cheers, Grant

If you could ask what the chance of gettin an ST205 GT4 WRC mapped on either an Apexi Power FC & Commander & 3 Bar map sensor, or a Motec M4 PRO with Anti-Lag/Launch Control/Flat Shift & 3 Bar map sensor both to run around 1.8/1.9bar boost. The car is still on stock ECU at the moment, however if I got for PowerFC I'll need something done reasonably soon, though still not for about a month.. but if I wait for Motec then it'll be around October time probably so I can make sure I've bought everything I need to run the extra features available to me. Cheers, Grant

Craig, is that Sam "The Dentist" mate?? Can he map any sort of car confidently, for instance, a GT4?? Cheers, Grant

Show the English what real Lb/Ft's are mate!! Cheers, Grant

Speedin in built up area isnt on IMO.... book should be thrown at people convicted of doing so. Cheers, Grant

.....errr, you reckon you would be able to hard wire in a Turbo Timer to an ST205 GT4 mate?? Cheers, Grant

I wont be there in a Scoob... but I'm up for coming along to see how much hard wiring in a Turbo Timer would be on my GT4. Cheers, Grant

Jon, did you not realise that at the time mate..... Better hope she doesnt find out you forgot!! 1.

Whats happened to the Grill??! Dont think that bubble wrap will last long guys, that heatshield gets a little toasty very quickly....... Cheers, Grant

Was a good day I thought, first chance to get the GT4 on track..... Managed to beat Ruth's Black GT4 twice and then due to a couple of fumbled gearchanges I lost out narrowly to the red 300ZX Twin Turbo. Still, had quite a few peeps come up to me after it'd finished telling me that the car sounded sweet.... that must be the Screamer Pipe!! I was in the Drag Event in the White GT4, EJZ 7*** Cheers, Grant
