O.k O.k O.k.... Now I have been reading these posts for the past year. I dont say much but I noticed... whenever someone talks about moding there car we constantly come to the 3s-gte swap whatever ever gen1,2,and the almighty 3. Now take that number of recomendations to the number that have actually done the swap, now take that number to those who can actually AFFORD the swap. Given its a good recomendation but lets get real were all pretty much stickin with N/A. Now before I get bashed I love i mean love the 3sgte but its more feasible wallet wise to get down on some serious AFR nology plugs and maybe some cam regrinds. It would be in alot of peoples best intrest to hear some serious knowledge on N/A tune ups. But thats my opinion I could be wrong.....
P.S. I love you guys, dont shun me out

How powerful does one want the Celica? That is the question when it comes to upgrading or swaping. If the money just isn't there then take it step by step and modify piece by piece. Out of all the upgrades that they make that are cost efective you could get considerable gains. On a light car like the Celica any gain is felt and that's a fact. What one of us at this sight needs to do is dyno, dyno, dyno there car at every upgrade. Then and only then will you know for sure on the gains. All upgrades are going to cost money, but a motor swap is a larg chunk of change, I don't care how much you paid for the motor. So it boils down to this... Make upgrades and fine tune it. Get to know your car to maximize it's potential and if 20hp is all you can get then fine. But think about it, 20hp increase in a celica that doesn't weigh anything? Man, it would be felt, that's for sure.
