changing the head on my 95' gt? Options

[celicak]

Is there a different head i can put on this car to make it more powerful? and give it better tunability? 5s-fte or 5s-gte don't really know the difference between the two of those but any way could i change the head on my engine with another head so that way later on down the line all i'd have to do is get a turbo kit? i don't know alot about cars so as much detail as you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Mkay. It basically comes down to this:

The cheapest and ONLY option for now is LIVE WITH IT.

Save your money, and do a 3SGTE swap or 5SGTE swap.

Granted, a 5SGTE is new territory. You're going to have to have the entire inside of the engine redone with completely custom parts. This kind of conversion could easily run into the 10-15 thousand dollar range.

A 3SGTE swap done properly will run 4-7 thousand from what I've heard.

There is very little that can be done to a 5SFE to substantially improve its performance, short of turboing it. It is at heart, an economy engine and always will be such.

Bottom line, save your money and go turbo.
