What can be done to the stock ST engine, to improve the performance? Can a turbo be added and things like that? I have the '94 hatchback, with a 7a-Fe engine, i believe, as far as I have seen it usually says the model on the engine, but i cant find anything that says what it is, the only thing i do see is on the body of the car....

7AFE is for gas saving, not for performance. If you want more from the Celica, sell the ST and get a GT.

Don't trade it for GT, If you got manual. If it's auto trade it for manual ST or GT. Or just swap motor for 3sgte with manual. Good luck...

yea non of u answered his question,yes there is a turbbo for the 7a-fe,the T-3 or the T-25(i thikn its 25)yes but making a 7a-fte(t=turbo) is a lot more than just buying a turbo and sticking it in,ull have around 2000$ worth of parts when u are finished,and that a cheap one.But a 7a-fte runs around 180-230 hp depnds on teh quality of the parts.
heres a slightly modded 7a-fe:

thank you for the answer, well...a answer that actually related to my question. I am thinking about this, and i can get a turbo, but i was looking at the engine and it seemed there was not much i could do without replacing a lot of items.

The picture has a cold air intake only, right?

^^^ it can

not too hard to do if you have some time on the weekend, just takes a good deal of labor on your part and it can look like new =)

if you get to replacing stuff, you can pull it and paint it up all nice while its out

if you did not know it is a blow off valve for the turbo and that is not on the air filter tubing ,but the intercooler to intake manifold pipe, the air filter pipe is down on the other end of the turbo hope that helps you .

Oh dear. that's a pic of my engine bay. it's a lot cleaner now.

I have since fitted NGK plug wires, plugs and SAFC 2. i will fit adjustable fuel pressure regulator soon and i have a Walbro fuel pump to go on when it goes in for the turbo to be fitted.

Here are a few more pics.





cheers.

3. ignition
4. computer
5. header
6. cam
7. fuel pump
8. throttle body
9. transmission stuff

You are having a turbo fitted rather than an engine swap? That's what I want to do. What aprts are you using, where are you getting the work done and how much is it costing you?
