150HP? Options

[Spartacus94]

Ok so i have a 1994 celica ST with 165k miles. I know the engine puts out roughly 110 HP and I'd like to increase it to 150ish without having to supercharge or turbo it, most of the turbo celicas around here sound and look very bad and beat up, and honestly i don't want to spend the money. So what are my options to increase horsepower?

Spart94, by the time youd get your st up to a decent level (decent for an ST...or GT for that matter), the money you dropped into the project could of been money going into a swap, or a custom FI setup. If your wanting to build an NA beast (again, by ST and GT standards) then go for it, but I think that your going to be somewhat disappointed with the results. Im with you as far as the build goes, Id love to raise the output of this thing, but your only going to get so much out of it. I love the celica and wouldnt trade it for anything, its a great daily driver. Thats why im saving my cash for a MR-2 or SC300....again, love the celi but making it RWD and fast is going to cost more than buying something thats already put together that way. But again, you really want to pump out all the power out of that NA, go for it.
