my car plans - 6G Celicas Forums
You need alot more than just a turbocharger to tubro a Naturally aspirated car. fuel injectors, fuel pump, intercooler and all associated piping, couplers, and clamps, blow off vlave, gauges, custom oil lines, etc. it'll probably cost between $2,000-$3,000 for everything. I've spent about $1600 so far towards my turbo and I estimate another $600-700 more left to buy! but even though that's pretty expensive, it's still cheaper than an engine swap.
also, don't bother with a 5sfe swap. It'll be just as difficult as a 3sgte swap but won't give you near the same amount of gains. it's alot of time and money to be spent for an engine with only like 20 more hp than a 7afe. If the 5sfe was so great, people wouldn't be swapping them for 3sgte's!

Off the top of my head, it's $3.20 USD/lb, and when you're using it you're going through like 1lb/second.

All else aside, think how long it's gonna take to strip everything out , and then put it back together when you're done

if you are painting all of your interior, like the dash, center console, etc. then it will be hard and take a while.
but, if you're referring to just painting the trim around the cd player and door handle trim and stuff, which is what I think you're refering to, it won't be that hard. from what I hear the hardest part is getting the paint to stick. so you either ruff it up some with sand-paper, or you can buy some krylon paint made for plastic which I think some people have used with good results.

Learn to know your car and how she drives. You'd be a better driver if you didn't feel the need for more power. You could probably hang with your friends in their faster cars with that celica. The speed limit is 55 on the highway Don't speed.
If something isn't not broken don't fix it. When something does break, upgrade
Doing so will save you money in case a water pump blows or starter needs replacing. She is 13 years old.

actually, around here (and I live in the scaramento area) speed limit on the freeway is 65. but to keep up with the flow of traffic you need to go at least 75. unless there is traffic (and there usually is). then you go between 5 and 20 mph. woot!

I would give you a list but its entirely to long and truley you need to Learn this stuff on your own a do a little bit of research so you will know what part does what.
Once you compile a list oft things you need on your own.
I will be more than happy to add things that you are missing.
And Expect to see around 60 to 70 hp gains depending on your parts you buy and
if your gonna run a safe boot level.

hahah, this is a fun post! NOT. someone has ALOT to learn before they do anything with turboing the 7afe.. but no, you cant just turn a turbo off, but yes you can adjust the power up or down with a boost controller. on the 7afe you have to be very carful with the amount of boost you run, and the amount of fuel mixture with it, other wise BOOM.

I am in the same boat you are. Be sure you know how much power you want first. In my Celica I would be happy with 180 hp and an ECU remap. I have pushed my Celica literally to its limits, I blew the last motor by driving it too hard, I've thrown it around corners doing 45 or 50 mph. Just find out how much your Celica can actually do before you go modifying it. Think also, You throw a large amount of horsepower into a super-light car like the Celi, it won't be easy to control. NOS = not a good idea. If you MUST use nos, only use a 50 shot, to save from immense damage. Good luck down the road. But yeah, the forums are a great place to get info, I've learned tons just from them
Yes nos is out of the picture for sure.ANd yea i ahve driven the celica pretty hard,the fasted ive gone in my celica was 95 awhile back:D.And yea i have learn more stuff on this website than anyother!

gear ratios are really short. I believe you'd be redlining 5th gear at 128 mph. of course, you could take it a bit past redline to reach like 135 or so...

Take it easy and do it one at a time. Having a car for a hobby requires patience and a lot of money. Unless you have "a lot of money" then you rid yourself of patience and do it all at once. Regardless, concentrate on one part of the car at a time, whether it be looks, performance etc.
