Hey there. I have a 94 ST and of course want more power. I am looking to either swap in a 4AGZE or just get the supercharged heads and pistons and put them on my 7A. Also considering just buying a SC or turbo kit. Doesnt seem like there are many people doing much with 6th gen Celicas, at least that I can find. It all seems to be 2000+ Any idea what the least expensive route to go would be? Thanks
New engine for ST or go FI? - 6G Celicas Forums
check the stickies for all the info you need about engine swaps. the majority of people swap in the 3s-gte engine, its a great engine and all you need to do is make a few custom brackets/mounts (for the most part) to swap it in the ST

is this car your only car ? if so, just take good care of it until you get a daily driver.

Really? I heard you need alot more including new AC/Power lines, a new tranny, ECU plus other harnesses and wires that are very hard to find uncut on a complete engine. Basically sounded like more trouble (and money) then its worth.

haha yea i guess i was a tad vague on that. sorry man, alot of people don't bother running the ac or power steering .but ask someone that has swapped in an ST, its a little more work than the GT so that sucks.

Its all good. The more I look around the more I wonder if I should just sell this thing and get a 5.0 Mustang or something. Twice the power right off the bat. I wanted a project car, but this sounds like it will be alot more of a project then I thought haha Seems like no one sells any aftermarket or FI kits for 6th gen Celicas let alone STs

oo a dude from cali goodie lol,u can swap in the 3s but its a pain in the ass,u can turbo charge ur 7a and put better pistons/valves/whatnot and probably hit over 210 hp depending on the parts u use.
BANNED. for life, you moron.

Thats cool. I am not looking for a 12 second ride, I just want some more power. I'd be happy with 140-150 to the wheels

ok well ur shooting to high then ,a 3sgte will give u like 250hp,if u turbo charge u will hit 160whp easily,no need for new pistons(unless the engine needs it)

Since you said that the celica was a project car, its worth it to do the 3sgte route. Why get a mustang. Yes you get twice the power, but its also heavy. If your shooting for a fun ride that can handle well, I say stick with the Celi.

Yea, I was thinking turbo or supercharging the stock engine. Know where to get kits around here?

just buy ur parts separately its really not that hard right now,there is a guy in the FS section with a hell of a deal,a turbo and intercooler for like 300$,and joker is selling a manifold,all u would need is IC piping,BOV,and exhaust
