hey, whats up everyone. i recently purchased a 94 celica st, its red, auto but its in really good shape. $1900 not bad...huh. runs perfect. whole lifetime of service records and all anyway, i have a few questions about it in general......here goes.

1. can you turbo an st 1.8? if so how much $$$$?
2. can you fit 19" rims on an st hatchback?
3. who sells a dual exhast system for the st?
4. (refer to ? 3.) and body kit to fit it?
5. is the upgrade to 4 disc brakes from a GT(swap the rear ones ya know)difficult?


thanks if anyone can help.

1. Yes it can be done. There is no kit for it but you can get the crucial parts (manifold etc.) here. www.jgstools.com. Talk to OOBE, zipstrips, and 97sc i believe. They have all done it. Dont expect to be able to run more than like 7psi reliably though cuz the 7a internals are weak. 2. 19" rims do fit. 1exquistcelica had them awhile ago, now he has 20's!
3. Nobody sells a dual exhuast for st's. If you really want one you can buy 2 mufflers and have a shop custom bend a dual system. Its pointless though on a 4 cylinder engine.
4. You would have to have another spot cut in the kit for the second muffler.
5. If you are good with your hands i heard its not bad at all. Check out to the how to section of the site for a write up.

Anyways, welcome to the site, and how many miles on that car? That sounds like an incredible deal. Congrats and welcome aboard.
