So heres the situation. Im 18 years old, and my parents came up on a 1995 toyota celica gt. Its got 176k on the body and only 60k on a swapped 5sfe. Ive been reading alot about this car to try and learn the basics and what not, but i cant seem to get this down. I would LOVE to turbo my car considering the engine doesnt have many miles on it, but im not sure how to considering i have the tighest budget that can be. Can anyone help me here, im just a young one wanting to have a fast car like the big boys ha

QUOTE (lagos @ Jan 12, 2010 - 5:57 PM)  Sorry junior, you gotta to pay to play. Listen to Lagos. He knows his stuff forwards and backwards. The best thing you can possibly do for that car is keep it running. Everyone here has said it perfectly. Always change your oil, take care of the car, and wait for the money to come for a complete turbo. Then save up a lot more money, because things can and will go wrong. Your car is NOT your friend's Evo. Your car is going to need a LOT of money and a LOT of work to boost it. Then by the time you get all of that done, you've got more wrapped up in your car than what it's worth. Your best bet is a 3S-GTE swap. Do a search for that; there is plenty of information on it. But for the next few years of your life, you've got a car that looks good without the power to back it up, and it's going to stay that way unless you win the lottery. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
