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! |

I too have a 94, black st... I just bought it, the cold air intake was INSANE. made a huge difference imo, in both gas mileage and speed... my 0-60 dropped like 2-3 seconds. I also am about to replace my headers, and i was either thinking about NOS or a turbo, both require money to upkeep, or so i've heard. I'd do teh CAI first. I did mine myself using the how-to article and a little bit of my own twist. If you want i can get a few pictures on here for you to see... As far as power the ST is kinda limited though. You wont be able to compete with other modded vehicles but you sure will be able to beat some stock ones...
