Hello,
I am a proud 1994 Toyota Celica owner. Recently I repainted the car black (with blue pearl). I know next to nothing about cars. Never had the time to learn, never was too interested. I drive a 2001 Honda Civic and this 1994 Celica has been sitting in the garage for a while. Although it's a great car! Currently the car has a bad engine (from not changing oil when I first got it). The engine must be replaced. What would you suggest to replace this engine with? I am looking for something better than I currently have (possibly a celica gt engine?). I want the entire swap to be under $2500 and NOT screw anything else up in the car. Keep in mind the car is AUTOMATIC. I am also looking to improve the speed of this 'new engine' without putting in a turbo or changing the transmission to manual . What do you suggest I buy? 1. Cold Air Intake? 2. ? 3. ? 4. ? Please advise! I would be really glad if you guys can help! |

that motors rusty as sh**, your easiest option would be to get a new 7afe and do the bolt on's. The best thing you could ever do to make it feel quick and fun to drive is convert to a manual tranny
