getting low end power out of 86 gt auto - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

t-money · 11-18-2004, 09:24 AM

Ok, the 2s-e engine isn't going to break any dyno records, but it's what I have so, any ideas on how to make it pick up off the line a little better?

smaller diameter tires and get rid of weight

you eather can have high rpm power or low end, if you dont want to get ride of high end, use some n20 for the low end

What are you talking about? Have you ever seen the power curve for an LS1 or the S/C 4.6L DOHC Cobra motor?

You could aslo try advancing the timing a bit and doing a tuneup if needed. Aside from that, cams.

I would say the SC limited power on highend. Turbo it and see what happen.

4-2-1 header. Remove as much stuff as you can in the car. Seats, carpet, junk.

the smaller the tire the lighter it is=the easyer it is to turn + the smaller it is the faster you will excal, fredk is on the right track

Hi, I have a 88 celica GT-S and the only race ive ever lost was to my bro's supra and my other bro's trans-am....which has a 4.3 liter V8 might I add. Anyways...I blew the original engine (3s-ge) and bought a 3s-fe, now i need the wiring harness....does anyone know where to get one, or does anyone have one? please let me know!
thank you,

The Trans Am has never come with a 4.3L V8.

Did he take out the original motor and drop in the Vortec 4300? That would be the most retarded thing in the history of mankind.

Trans Ams have always been either 305 or 350 ci V8s, IIRC.

Thought you meant in general.

But holy shit, that would be fucking awesome!

Or 455, 396, 302, 327, 400, 400 Turbo, 3.8, 3.4, 2.8 and 3.8 Turbo.

Trans Am's are nice (smokey and the bandit kicks ass)

fredk · 11-28-2004, 05:18 PM

I was just thinking of a smaller diameter tire to increase gearing and get rid of weight to increase the accell off the line, and yes I go know about a cobra power curve and I havent found anything with an ls1 that will kick my cobras ass since I put a 6 speed and a blower with 4/11 gears into it
