Where do you guys get these kits that look like Supras? I want one!! haha

So is the 4A-GZE swap cheaper and easier? How much less power is it? 30-40 hp?

Yea. I should mention I got the guy's info from a link in one of the stickies on this forum. He has done the swap several times, its not like I am just taking it down to Joe's garage.

What kind of problems? I am not overly concerned as this car is not my daily driver. Just want it to have some fun in once in awhile.

Well I doubt that because its not exactly a legal swap, at least here in CA.

I have a 94 ST and called a place near me that has a low mileage 3S-GTE for $1900. Seeing as how I have the ST and alot more work is required, he told me he would do it for $5500. Isnt $3600 for labor a bit much? I am sure I could buy the engine and find someone else to do it alot cheaper, but I also want it done right though. Thoughts?

Have looked around and it seems none of the major companies make any for the ST, only the GT. Even have a neighbor who works at Toyota in the parts department who couldnt find any. Do these have to be custom made? I dont really think exhaust and intake will do much anyways will it? Maybe 10 hp increase if I am lucky?

Isnt there a 180 or 200hp 4AGZE? Saw some guy from Europe on Youtube with a 200hp 4AGZE Corolla. Maybe he had modded it a bit.

Depends on what you are looking for. Someone saying they want a 300hp car sounds like they want something to drag in and the Celica is a very poor choice. Could probably buy TWO Mustangs for what it would cost to build a 300hp Celica. The labor alone would run well into the thousands let alone all the parts. You are right about gas, thats why I sold my 98 Mustang GT I had built with 360 hp to the wheels. Tired of $100 fill ups and 14 mpg. But I also saw members in the FI section saying they were getting really bad gas mileage, like 17 mpg after their turbo additions. Might as well have a V8 if thats the case.

I think most people get a Celica because its fun to drive, handles well, good on gas and looks nice. I want more power out of my 94 ST, but no way I expect 300. I'd be happy with a 4AGZE swap. So I was just saying there are better and more cost effective ways to go about getting a 300 hp car.

I REALLY want to do this swap too. Anyone dyno'd one yet? Interested to see what kind of power it makes after the swap.

Yea man, you should just sell it. If you want a 300 hp car, I have no clue why you bought a Celica in the first place. Go look for a 5.0 Stang and you'll have it up to 300 hp for ALOT less money. Or just find a 4th gen F body with an LT1 or LS1 and be done with it.

ok, thanks!

Looked all around in the trunk and cant find where. Any help would be great, thanks

Thats what I have, 17 seconds? ouch. I could probably ride my bicycle faster than that thru the quarter mile haha

Cali: yea, I know there are examples of fast Celica's but cmon. If I wanted straight line speed, I would have bought another 5.0 or LS1 and spent a few hundred in bolt ons to run in the 13s. Will probably cost me $10k to get my ST running 13s haha.

This should be interesting. Do people really buy Celica's for quarter mile runs? Seems like one of the very worst cars you could imagine, no hp or tq. I got mine cause I wanted a light car that handled well, got good gas mileage and was sporty enough. Would be bottom of my list for quarter mile car though.

Thanks for the info. So can I use a 7th gen turbo kit with a different manifold to fit my engine?

I have a 94 ST and this may be a lame question but I see turbo kits made for 00-03 Celicas, those wont work on my 94? How about superchargers? Do they have to be a certain kind?

**** man! I just paid $3k cash for a 94 ST. I would have bought this in a second if I knew about it

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

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

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

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.

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
