after a long time of searching for the right celica, i came across a deal i couldnt refuse.
i bought a celica with a perfect black leather interior and pretty good body. its a 94 2.2 gt five speed.


the bad thing, was that it has a seized engine. i was planning on upgrading the block anyway so i didnt mind.

my goal is to reach at least 250 whp. so im going the 5sfte route.

i dont want to bother swaping for a 3sgte.

i read somewhere that the 98-99 5sfe was better to use for a turbo application instead of the 93-97...*correct me if im wrong*

if that is true, should i just replace my 94 block for a good running 98 block? instead of wasting time rebuilding my 94?

thanks in advance, any hints to help me reach my goal will be appreciated, and constructive criticism.

ohhh i get it now.....so its not so bad then if im staying OBDI, well anyway, i found a complete block off a 2000 camry with 40k miles on it for $900, i think thats a pretty sweet deal, unless i can spend less to rebuild the old one with forged rods, pistons etc. cause if i do get the newer block i think im going to be keeping it stock and build it like our fellow, pressure2, i think hes the one that reached about 300 whp with the stock long block??

smaay, the engine was seized but i got it crank yesterday...i poured marvel mystery oil through the spark plug hole and let it sat there since last friday morning, and yesterday it actually turned over, but i dont hear the fuel pump pressurizing and the check engine light is on. Do you know what the procedure to get the trouble codes? thanks.
