any Prelude over any Celica except 1st and 2nd

Zero, unless you're too young to post on this board

No street cred among stancefags or ricers maybe. Probably because the US never got the GT-four, so it was never looked as a serious platform, especially with all the FWD Hondas ruling the scene.

But don't forget that the celica comes from a wrc background. Even though the US spec only comes in FWD and the 2.2l 5sfe only makes 130hp, it can be easily modded to spank most of the Hondas out there.

While the 240hp 3s-gte turbo found in the Gtfour wasn't made available in the US , you can turn you 5sfe into a 5s-gte by simply buying a 3sgte head and a garret t3 turbo (and some other stuff I know, but I'm keeping it simple) the 3sgte head will bolt onto your 5sfe block no problem, I don't recommend using the stock 3s-gte turbo on a 5s-gte , as the 5sfe is a 2.2l so it would be better to use a t3. You can easily & safely get to 250hp without upgrading the internals.


Id rather have a celica than a prelude. The celica just looks nicer, weighs 500lbs less than the prelude. Liftback. And has potential as a sleeper since everyone looks down on it.

>>15695207
Prelude unless it's a GT4 Celica.

>>15695676
even if it was a GT4 itd be an ugly pigfat abortion

220HP NA Prelude is much more appealing

Dont listen to these morons.

Not once have i heard someone say anything bad about them except the lack of power.
But thats what the 3sge is for.

>street cred
None.
I would get the previous gen or next gen, but that's because my current shitbox (integra) already has the bugeyes and those hidden pop ups are sex.
But desu why not look at an Integra?
It seems to be what you want, just without a Honda badge.

because 217 isnt close enough to round up

GT4s are like 300lbs heavier than Preludes

not to mention that awful awd handling sluggishness

Prelude is the much better car

I'd bet you'd take a prelude over a supra too.

This is why no one like Hondafags (except s2000 drivers, you guys are cool)

Youre trying to hard bud

>>15695990

if I can sell the Supra then no

they are ugly pigfat cars same as the Celica

Wife's '98. Great car.

>>15696520

What's with the prodruding gasket?

>>15695676
Use a BEAMS head instead.

>>15696721

Beams is good option if you want a good NA option, although 3sgte can out perform it.

Don't even try to turbo a beams head if you're not well experience.

>>15696803
Plenty of people have turboed BEAMS engines. Power potential is lower because of the higher static compression but there's no reason you can't turbo it.

>>15696806

I know, it just wouldn't be (relatively) easy for a home garage build.


I don't think I've ever seen a 5sfe, BEAMS, turbo though. Most beams are 3s builds so it would be interesting as heall

>>15695207
I have the 3sge 170hp Celica GT (euro spec) and it's a fantastic car. It does get you *some* street cred. Especially among kids desu.

>>15696851
>5sfe
>beams
Is that even possible?

>>15695207
Personally I think the prelude looks vastly better as its more boxy and less of the awful rounded style that began in the mid 90's, however I'd need to test drive both to get a feel for them so I could make an informed decision.

>>15696860

Probably.

>>15696865
BEAMS was only made for the 2 liter 3sge, not for the bigger 5sfe.

Fwd celicas are a waste of time. Get the rwd or awd ones or get a honda.

>>15696870
So was the 3S-GTE. 3S and 5S heads interchange.

>>15696872

But what if a FWD celica is better than a honda?

>>15696883
They aren't. Toyota enthusiasts gravitate towards vehicles with higher potential so their fwd aftermarket is almost non-existent compared to honda

>>15696892

After market what exactly? Just because Hondas have more fart cans or cold air intakes, that doesn't mean celicas are stuck at 130hp.

The 3sge/5sfe have a shit ton of aftermarket and tons of build options.

>>15695758
Are you serious?

>>15696901
>After market what exactly?

Everything. You could probably build an entire civic using aftermarket parts minus the bodyshell.

Fwd celicas are a completely different animal. The vast majority of owners go "fuck this" and get a supra or mr2 or something. Honda owners are stuck with fwd for the most part and the aftermarket reflects that.

>>15696909

The celica shares an engine platform with the mr2 and high spec Camrys and altezzas.

The aftermarket is fine. There are several celicas making over 300hp on a stock 5sfe block with different heads and a tutbo.

>>15696927
That's not the same as honda aftermarket support where there's an entire industry dedicated to modifying your specific car all the way up to top tier fwd motorsport level.

You're basically cobbling together parts meant for other cars.

>>15696909
>>15696927
Celica owner here. The aftermarket for FWD 6th gen is completely nil. Funnily enough the aftermarket for 7th gen is actually much broader. All courtesy of TRD.

>>15696972

The origial question was, can a celica be better than a honda. Answer is yes.

I'm sorry there are few turbo kits, drop in built motors, full exhaust systems, or what ever else easy mode shit you're use to.

But the fact is that a celica can be built to compete with Hondas no problem.

>>15698781
any car can be built to compete with any car assuming you have enough fucking money.
It doesn't make you look any smarter to drop more than 6k in work on a celica to beat a bone stock integra with a supercharger and no supporting mods.

>>15698822

3sgte head costs 200$
3sgte headers cost 150$
3sgte stock turbo is 300$

All these are a direct fit for any 5sfe GT celica and can easy make 250hp without block or internal work.

You don't need 6 grand. The 5sfe and 3sge have tons of aftermarket support.
