I bought a 94 Celica GT last year and fell in love with the car. However, one of the things that has been annoying me is the engine seems to crap out at around 4500 – 4800 RPM. The specs for the engine I have seen have it putting out peak HP at 5400. I am going to have some engine work done and wondered if I should have this looked in to or is this par for the course.

*edit* Errm 5S-FE that is ... To bad you can not edit titles >>

actully the 5sfe takes very well to headwork. but for more simple bolt on parts that will open up the top end a bit. get an intake, header, exhaust, should give you an awsome 8whp..(least from the dynos from NA mr2's same engine though) but it gives you a broader powerband. opens up the top end a bit.
