Fensport<\/a> built an AWD 7th gen Celica to handle road courses and drag racing. They were able to secure a TRD Sport M which is factory lightened and strengthened for racing. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 2.1 L 3SGTE inline-four producing 650 horsepower. They increased displacement to 2.1L using a TTE Group ‘A’ block and stroker crankshaft. The motor features Crower steel connecting rods, custom JE Forged Pistons, ported head, racing valves, double valve springs, and Piper\/Fensport custom camshafts. The inlet manifold and fuel system is completely custom. The turbocharger used is the Turbo Dynamics 2007 specification Garrett GT35\/42 Ball bearing unit, mounted on a stainless steel tubular manifold, TIAL 44mm remote wastegate with screamer pipe. The transmission is a Fensport Racing five-speed transmission with straight cut gears, Fensport triple-disc clutch, and lightweight flywheel. The Celica complete a quarter-mile in 10.38 at 140 mph.<\/p>\n
