Thanks so much! This car means a lot to me. I'm glad to see there are others that appreciate it. Thanks for watching!

I’m in the market for one right now & your right. Not many left especially clean well taken care of models. I found a (sold ad) on Facebook of a 2003 black gts manual with only 53,000 miles & one owner. Asking price was $15,000 & I would have honestly offered the seller $13,500 or so if ir hadn’t been sold. Beautiful cars for being 25 years old

Thanks for sticking around and being patient with us! Hopefully we can create some more Celica content for you and all the others who are interested in it!

There's not alot of celica gts vs rsx type s. Can u make a video racing a types s

That is awesome! That's a great testament to Toyota's reliability. Here's to another 300k! 😉

Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for watching!

Thanks so much Rafael!

Thank you! I'm glad this video could spark some memories for you. I have a lot of my own memories attached to my Celica, so I understand. I'm hoping that it's possible for me to hang onto mine for awhile. So far, I've been blessed to still have it 10 years later. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you! You'll find that it will transform the car in a big way, best of luck to you on your build!

Thank you for the kind words!

@@gastancehouse you’re welcome!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for the support!

No way, that's awesome! I unfortunately have not been a regular attender. Maybe the next time I'm there I'll spot you! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you still are hanging onto your Celica!

It's definitely unique!

Hello, thanks for watching!! The ECU and fuseboxes are under the dash, and the battery is behind the driver seat. Check out our previous videos of the wiretuck!

Strut bar has been on my list for awhile! I have Energy Suspension motor mount inserts, but 23 year-old OEM mounts... Someday I'd like to have solid poly mounts. Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much, we are glad you want to see more of the Celica! The supercharger kit will work with an automatic transmission, on a mechanical level. One thing to pay attention to is if it has a plug-&-play ecu, it may be designed for a manual-specific engine harness. In my case, I tuned an AEM FIC piggyback, which can work with either as long as it is wired correctly. And yes, this Blitz kit allows keeping the A/C compressor, which I currently have. You may or may not be able to tell in the video that the A/C lines are actually not connected to the compressor. Because of the big clutched pulley on the supercharger, the lines need to be lengthened to clear without rubbing, and I haven't done that yet. It's on my list of things to do, but until then, the car is still a blast to drive, during the summer just keep the windows open and stay moving! Haha. Thanks for watching and have fun with your GT-S!

@@gastancehouse Thank you Brother!

Hello! I did not start with a base tune. A major benefit to the piggyback is that you can utilize the OEM ECU tune for areas when not in boost. In my case, the supercharger engages at a certain throttle position, so at idle and lower load areas my map is all zeroes so that I am using the stock tune where possible, and then I built my own tune for the areas where additional airflow is making its way into the engine from the supercharger. I did all my tuning on the street, no Dyno. I would log drives, and analyze the data later to make necessary adjustments to my maps. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Tidy is a great way to describe it! De-cluttered!

@@gastancehouse I think you've done a beautiful job though to be honest. I'm interested to learn more about the AEM piggy back, I'm on a tight budget, I've being building slowly but surely for 7-8years now, more info the better lol Keep it up bro, car looks gorgeous 💙☮️💜

@@chrisprice4658 thank you! I appreciate the kind words! Mine has been a slow and steady process as well. I gathered a lot of info from friedrice.blogspot.com, it's a great resource for learning the concepts of the AEM FIC. I do have it on my list though to make a video at some point that explains the process I have used to tune the Celica with it, as well as the wiring schematics I've built. Hopefully sometime in the not too distant future you'll see some content on it!

This kit is specifically designed for the 2zz within a Celica chassis. It would require some modification to work with another chassis.

I don't have a link, unfortunately the kit was discontinued back in 2006. Have fun with your Super White Celica!

Check out the video, I explained the story of how I found it. If you are set on buying a Blitz supercharger kit, I'd recommend patience, and a realistic knowledge of how much you could potentially spend to get one, since they are on the rare side. Forums and auction sites may give you the best chances. Thanks for watching this video!

@@gastancehouse thanks you for answering me, I really appreciate it. Keep doing your good work. A hug

Feels like a dream!

The 2zzge is very relibale if the torque is below 350nm and the tunning perfect, i have see I'm my eye's celica ts with 2867gt 370hp 370nm stock internals with 210.000 km's. Power like 270-300hp and 300nm is very safe for the 2zzge and c60 gearbox with longlife trouble-free. Maintenance must also be excellent with high zddp level oils

supercharging a celica is just dumb as hell

Yes, the cooling system is all stock on this car!

@@gastancehouse Do you have the ac condenser removed? Since I placed the intercooler my water oveeheats at heavy usage and I'm using a Koyorad radiator! Maybe it's not correctly bled

wait just got to that part lol

wait just got to that part lol

Haha, no worries. Thanks for watching thru the video!

Not sure! This car hasn't seen a Dyno yet.

It's a mystery... It hasn't seen the Dyno! Maybe someday we'll find out.

The kit adds about 30hp...for 7 thousand dollars.

Yeah, unfortunately the Celica can be an expensive platform to modify relative to common platforms with more a larger aftermarket support. Aside from a few special additions (I think only available in Japan), all 7th gen Celica were NA. A Cobalt SS, for example, we're mass produced with superchargers, so aftermarket support is definitely vast in comparison. When the Blitz kits were new back in the early 2000s, the piggyback that the US kits got had a tune on it that apparently didn't do much. I have the unit, but haven't used it. It has no way to alter the O2 sensor signals for proper closed loop piggyback tuning, plus it's designed for use with the stock injectors/fuel pump, so it maxes them out very early, hence 30hp gain - it makes sense. The US Blitz piggyback just taps into the injector signals post-ECU, the cam/crank sensors, and the MAF. It was just designed as a base to allow the car to run temporarily until it would be tuned properly. I've read that the Japanese version of the Blitz kit had a proper programmed standalone that came with it. I am using 440cc injectors from a Lotus Elise, Walbro 255lph fuel pump, along with an AEM FIC which I've street tuned. It's not the best bang for buck for someone who is just looking strictly to make power.

Sick set up with that set up tho how much are you making

This one is staying in my possession for awhile, sorry! Thank you so much for watching!

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, too much talking, not enough supercharger sounds! Hopefully we can address those shortcomings in future videos!

Hmm, sounds like you're a bit confused about reality! We have videos about the Matrix on our channel if you're interested in learning more, thanks for watching! ;)
