Hey everyone i have a 1996 toyota celica ST Hatchback with a 7A-FE i want a swap but limited to cash whats the best engine that would be a simple swap.

because you have an ST, Horsepower is not going to be you friend and since its a Hatch it doesn't have the natural strength the Coupe has as far as stability.
What you can do with STs though is turn them into handling monsters. If it were me, i would work on handling and stabilization. get the car to handle, and be structurally capable to handle, get use to driving the car because i assure you it will be a different ride after all that work. then save up and see what you can do with adding a little more power. ST horse power is expensive, keep that in mind and dont by cheap upgrade to try and get around the fact. |
