I have a 95 GT HB and I need more hp, I have a zex flywheel and CM clutch allready installed and that helps my acceleration and stuff, but I want more horse power and I read on one of the how-to's or intros that the 150 - 160 mark was easily obtainable. What parts do you guys suggest buying to reach it? BTW I only have $500 in the bank right now, but Graduation is comming up so I will have around 700 - 800 to spend.

Thanks alot,

-Brandon

This is what im after in a few months....http://www.importperformanceparts.net/imports/sbrebuildkit-toyota.html

its a stroker kit for the 5fse. sounds like a great kit for what it all comes with and much MUCH MUCH more reliable then a bolt on turbo! plus no spooling up and turbo lag!


"N/A 5SFE"s are a waste of cash." ;akimbo

NOT TRUE AT ALL! The 5sfe is a great motor with great posibilities and plenty of potential. If you go and strap any old turbo kit on there from junk yard kits your going to have many many problems stuch as BLOWING YOUR ENGINE UP! Im all for the N/A 5sfe. it can be done and done right if you get the right stuff. plus yoru not going to be leaking oil or breaking down every so often with a bolt on turbo.

That engine kit looks like it might be worthwhile....I just wonder what the drivability and reliability of a set-up like that would be. Otherwise, thats a great method of getting decent power out of a celica.

Just consider that a mildly boosted 7AFE puts out about 160-170 hp....you can get this N/A set-up for the 5SFE for around 1300 and be hitting the same numbers without even getting a turbo setup. Not too bad. wink.gif
