Rebuilding my 5sfe, Need Advice Options

[lipweb]

guys i'm rebuilding my 1996 GT. I want a stock rebuild but i want to port/polish the head and get a header with matching flow characteristics...what else can I do to see any improvements without serious big money parts? forged or stock replacement pistons?? i don't really plan on any big gains so should I just go stock piston replacement? What about cams? Chip? Tuner? Is it worth it to balance and micropolish the crank?

What is the average stock rebuild cost?

Guys...thanks!

It depends on how much HP your expecting...

+20-30 hp I recomend you stick with stock internals. To get a decent ammount of HP you can get cams regrind, port/polish, and header/exhaust.

anything more you will need to add a turbo.

I'm looking at some head work, inverted dome top pistons, and boring the cylinders all for more compression. I guess I'll have to find a matching header and go from there. I already have a 90 eagle talon awd tsi all built up pushing over 300 horses, I just want this celica to be strong AND dependable. How much does it cost on the average for a standard rebuild on the 5sfe??
