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! |

Unless you want to stay 5s and stay NA do the rebuild. But if you have the money for a rebuild and want some power, why not consider doing a v6 swap? Better yet a 3s swap if you like boost.

I'm just doing this one for the gas mileage and safe dependability. I'm not looking for some nasty power, I got my talon for that eh heh heh...but these celicas are pretty fun to drive, I was instantly drawn to it when I first drove it.   Talon's got hks cams 264/272...forged pistons...port/polish/shaved head...big 16g turbo...rechipped ecu and dsmlink tuned...balanced/polished crank and acl rod/main bearings...shaved/bored block...full exhaust 2.5" front to back with 3" muffler...K&N intake...750cc fuel injectors...etc, etc...
