At what speed is the Celica Governed at?

[Noy]

whats the top limited speed on a stock GT-S Celica...just curious

[M Spec]

Brand new current shape stock Celica's are not electronically speed governed. Most guys are maxing out in the mid 140's (mph) on their speedo's.

i am wondering what a 1990 celica st tops out at?

[Team_Omega1]

132 mph...but thats pushing it...my buddy did it to his st and it wouldnt pick up any more

[oz353]

ive done it too

but now its blown am swaping a gt engine in and would like to know if anyone knows if it will bolt right in with the gt mounts on an st body

[oz353]

thats about right ive done it too

but now its blown up. im swaping a gt engine in and would like to know if anyone knows if it will bolt right in with the gt mounts on an st body

[oz353]

ooops

[jaggedyer]

oz, not sure about that. It SHOULD cuz theyre very similar bodies but you might need to make some minor adjustments (like ECU, sensors, engine mount locations etc.). I took a 1987 Toyota Celica GT with Pacesetter headers and ported and polished heads up to about 138MPH over a bridge (automatic tho). It could rev a whole lot higher just the wind resistance and road friction is what stopped it.

thanx i knew about the ecu sensors and all that but the mounts are whats worrying me

[iceecellica]

what would a 91 gt-s hit you think?

[fiveSFE]

90-93 will govern at 125, ive taken mine to 125, and ive read it is 125, in 5th gear at 125 it is at 5000 rpms and u cant go any higher

[fiveSFE]

i didnt have a speedometer once, and i topped it out, im sure it was faster than 125. even though none of u should go this fast

i got a 91 celica st n am wondering wut is the biggest engine possible to install in it. somebody told me i couldnt change the engine because of the motor mounts not lining up...

[exileprophet]

The spedometer in my 84 GT is broken. It reads anywhere from 10mph higher than actual at low speeds and 25-30 at higher speeds...

but it's the spedometer that's broken, my wheels are not too small. Sometimes the needle will jump around, definately just broken.

As for it's top speed I have no idea. There arent many places to try it out where you won't get nailed with police or sharp turns.

[91 Celica St]

you can put a 5sfe (gt gts motor) but the motor mount points dont line up...shoulda be fairly esay, but for cheapre and a better motor wyou could put a 4age in it Black top or silvertop, newhere between 120 Hp to 170HP...or a 4agze 160-190 HP

those are all depending on generations and how many miles
