Hey everyone this site is great. It's a wonderful source of information as for I love celicas. Well to start off my first celica was the st and I loved it right away. A few months ago this guy cut two lanes of traffic and t boned the front end of the car. To make things short it was totaled. It wasn't a total loss because they sent me a check for 3600$ and i paid $800. So now I am about to go buy this 95 gt with the 5F-SE for 1200$. I just had a few questions the car has above 200k miles on it which I know it will go for a lot more if I keep it stock. But I would like to turbo it. Now would I have to do a complete bottom and top end rebuild on it if im running boost below 10psi? Also I know eventually I would love todo a 3sgte swap but as I was reading a thread it said the fwd platform is not good for 250+hp I just wanted to have your guys input on this if it is worth getting doing all of that to a fwd car.
Thanks, Josh |

in your situation with 200k, id say swap a low mileage 3S in it. It would be cheaper than rebuilding the 5S and turboing it.
oh and welcome
