first upgrades?, what should i do first to a 6g st Options

[stormtrupr]

i just got a 96 25 anniversary celica st and love it! i want to add a little bit of hp for as cheap as possible. looking to ebay, i found the cold air intakes, mufflers, headers, and a sensor mod that is supposed to do what a jet chip does that is only like 10 bucks.

i really only want to spend around 300 dollars(i reallize this wont get me much) but what should i do?? does that sensor actually work??? anyway....im turning to this forum for advise.

thx

yes , you need to remove the old plastic filter casing to get more space. Easy to do if you have two hand and a minimal skill with tools.

course 101 on mod with the current motors:
The first and second is the base modification to do. For the other, you can do it in any orde, depending of your budget.

first: Get more air in the motor(CAI(<100$), machining the throttle body(+- 300$)). this modif come more powerfull with other mod

Second: Expulse more air with a good velocity... (headers(500$ ?), Cat back, muffler...)

Third: tranny. Get a level 1 or 2 clutch. This give Hp, but not torque.

Fourth: Pulley, CAM. Give HP. (1000$ ??? ...)

Fifth: do a port polishing, change the piston for aluminium one... $$$

six: Install a fuel controler, or a fuel manager....

Seventh: Turbo

Some modification need other one to get the power. You should need a fuel manager soon as you get to much power, I think so...

Search on ebay if you want to learn about your car, this a good way to teach yourself about cost, faisability, and scrap....
