2 ways to go. Talk to Top End Performance and get 10:1 JE forged pistons (they own the blueprints) and a thinner metal head gasket from them. All this is to raise your CR. After that, go talk to HKS, or webcams and get yourself a set of high duration, high lift cams, be prepared for a rough idle. Might want to get an adjustable cam gear while you're at it. While you're ripping out your block, get the head ported and polished, as well as bored out. Install a piggy back Fuel Computer. Might as well just get a Stand Alone Engine Management system. The second option is to order a stroker kit from JUN (will make your car 2.4L). You'll have to wait 6 months at least to get it, and find a competant mechanic to install it for you. Get a Fuel Management Computer with this setup as well.

These are ENGINE mods. They're modifing the engine. They will add serious power to what you already have, but are costly. If you just want little things that don't modify the engine, but modify the secondary parts that function with the engine, then look around this site. There's a plethora of information. If you somehow don't find it here, go to celica.net
