Hey I just joined ive been drooling over the boards for about a week now. I just bought a 96 celica ST which I love to death. Im interested in either upgrading it some or swaping the engine *thought it will take me forever to get the money*. Im not particularly experienced with cars but im tryna learn. Would you all sugest saving for a swap or a catback change? I cant figure what to do. Also how much do you really think I will spend on a swap and can someone without huge experience figure out how to do it you imagin? Thanks

You could always upgrade your engine, then turbo or supercharge it. This way it will give you someting to do in the mean time, and you can use those mods in conjuction with your forced induction. Well most of them, you can't use your intake or header, but things like underdrive pulleys, s-afc, ignition, wires, plugs etc... willl all work in conjuction.
It's the path I have chosen. |
