all you die hard gear heads out there, what are some inexpensive little tricks to better performance? i know in some vehicles you can take out the EGR system, take this out, put that in, etc. etc. Im dumping a huge chunk of money into my car right now and while i have it taken apart in my buddies garage i want to know about any little tricks you guys may know

Its an economy motor. Don't expect gains of more than 3-5hp.

ya unless your building this thing from the ground up which no one really does with these motors ur not going to get much of a gain. the 5s just isnt a real performance motor, unless you slap a turbo on it and really play around with ur setup.

theres alotttt of info on here for stuff like that, but even then, your better of just getting a 3sgte, 2.0 tubro motor or a 3sge beams 2.0 N/A motor

i already know about the 3s motors. I CANT AFFORD A 2000 DOLLAR MOTOR RIGHT NOW. but i can afford to remove whatever part makes the 5sfe an economy motor.

header, intake, catback, short shifter. have fun going 16s.

i was just saying that unless you build the 5sfe from the ground up to make a powerful N/A motor, you wont get much hp from the bolt ons. thats why i informed you about the 3sgte and the 3sge since you seem new to this celica world askin about 5s bolt ons which will mainly make the car sound better.

i get alot of compliments that the car sounds really good, but its slow as crap lol. thats why i refreneced the swap.
