Been reading this site ever since i got my Celica. Also haven't seen many topics on the 7A-FE. I have very very little cash on me right now, but need more high end power. Any suggustions?

check out the parts database for some useful info about parts you can buy


if you dont know if you know your chassis code but its AT200


i would suggest

intake (cold air intake) www.evilspeed.com

thats the best cold air intake (CAI) you can get for your car


also he sells exhaust too

get an obx underdrive pulley

dont know the website but its in the parts database


look on the buying/selling forum

the title is called Someone buy this

its a 7a-fe turbo'ed thats an amazing motor..its 5K but you would spend 3 times that much trying to get as much power as he does.

how much is very little cash? what is your mechanical knowledge? how much work are you willing to put in?

well you can do some homework and look up everything you need to turbo your engine... then once you have it you can go look for all the parts that you need to run boost at 5-7 psi.... if you go hunting in junkyards for the parts and barging with they owners you could get a turbo for like 50 bucks and everything else needed... but it will take you a lot of time and good luck to do this... or you can just run down to your local auto parts stop and get some octan boost .... and yea you'll feel a little kick...for 2 bucks a bottle

Ok. Here's my plan. CAI, new exhaust, spark plugs, and hoses, and an ECU upgrade. I'm only going to consider a turbo set-up when i do an engine rebuild, or when i can fork the money for one. But for now, just minor stuff. Also, im in no hurry so im doing research as we speak. Thx for the responds guys.

Been lookin for 6 spd trannys but never found any. Read threads about a 7th gen that might work for a 6th gen, but not sure myself. Also, would the GT tranny just bolt up? Or would i need extra mounts. I also need new shocks soon, so what do you guys recomend for replacements. I'm also gonna get new springs with the shocks, maybe TRD or Tein.

I think the AE111 came with a 4AGE blacktop and a 6sp transmittion. >>

Thx for the tips guys. I'll update my profile as soon as i get the parts in.

O yea one last thing. If i get a 6 spd tranny, would i have to get a new shifter? This is prob a stupid question..., but never heard anyone say anything about it.

just be happy with the transmission you have. that 6spd is too much money and too much trouble.

haha ok
