Well...with low on funds, depending on exactly how low you are, I'm not sure. What edo did was rebuild his engine, port and polish, the works, which should give him an hp gain of approx. 50 hp. But then again that was a 2000 dollar project which isn't as much as a swap, but still pricey, esp. for someone "low on funds". I definitely feel for ya dude, I have a manual '94 that I took on the back roads yesterday and drove the **** out of it!!! But it just wasn't as fun w/o the performance stuff. Really, all ST's are really good for w/o a serious rebuild or swap is cornering (consider you've put on performance springs, struts, etc.) Because the handling on any 6th gen is friggin' wonderful! But I've come to accept that mines slow, and hence, when I get the funds, I'm sellin' it to Clipsetuner and buying a GT, and then saving up more funds to rebuild the engine, etc. It's a wonderful thing to rebuild the engine. haha, but otherwise man, not gonna have much luck. I don't even think w/ an ST that it'd be a really good idea turboing it w/o replacing some internals w/ some aftermarket parts man. So really, if I were you, and you don't have the money for a GT or a swap or rebuild, just stick w/ looks, mad style, and great sound system. It's the nice cars that get the honey's, not the fast ****ty ones.

I dont think your going to get 50 hp form just a rebuild an porting an such, they sell rebuilt 2.2's rebuilt with a port job, that only produce around 155, witch still isnt bad.. I think your best bet, would be rebuild, then replace the internals, then set up for a turbo.. other than that, a swap, other than that.. get a muscle car if you want power... Celicas nor have power or get ladies.. there just fun to drive..
