Simplified 7age swap?, I just need some help Options

[MtownRice]

Hi, im new to all this. Bought my celica not expecting to want to modify but that changed a week into owning it haha..

I have a goal for 400-500 whp but im pretty sure i cant get that on the stock 7afe.
I cant really do a 3sgte swap unless i hit the lottery or somehow come across the money because the 5k i read it would cost would take me forever to save and be able to do it.

I found a 4age head on google for around 300 bucks and have been curious about the swap. Im new to this car stuff and when i try to research it the discouragement takes over pretty quick.

So i know it has been discussed but i cant really find the steps involved. If someone would please help me with information i would be grateful.

Or atleast give me a different start to my 500hp goal. I thank you in advance.

You can't scrape together $5,000 but you want a car with 500hp? Those two kind of go hand in hand. Either you buy something more expensive that's got closer to 500hp already and put some money into it to reach 500hp or you buy a much cheaper car and put a lot more money into it to get all the way up to 500hp, which frankly on a FWD car is good for hard parking, dyno-queening, and highway rolls.
