I am wanting to have built a custom engine for my celica but I am not sure how to go about it. I saw one that a guy had machined, every thing was custom and it was just sick(400hp without turbo or NOS) I want something similar but like I said I don't where to start or the cost, can anyone help???

the most powerful A series n\a engine I've seen is the TRD formula 4age's. They run about 240hp I think. How did they do it? COMPRESSION

are you looking to go turbo, or build it up NA style?

i would say the first thing would be to start saving for a custom stroker kit with custom pistons on custom rods, have everything lightened and balanced, custom grind on the cam shaft, port and polish head with performance valve train. ignition booster, wires, coil, fuel pump, injectors, header, full exhaust, stand alone ems, clutch, flywheel... anything lightweight you can get your hands on, get rid of your a/c and that should give you a pretty good bump in power. i can only guess that this kind of setup with the proper tuning could make 200whp+ and cost around $10,000 to $15,000. that is just my guess, it would be sweet to see but that is a lot of money, and i think i was being generous with the price. good luck though
that is the problem with our cars, if we want to do anything with our stock engines we have to be prepared to have damn near everything custom made or machined beyond recognition.

They actually have fairly modest compression levels... I read somewhere about being in the 10-11 range... but I can't say for sure. What actually makes the power... revving. They basically have a fairly modified 4AG head (larger valves, stiffer springs, better ports), built internals (lighter stronger rods, crank, bearings), and very very crazy cams. Add that to their professionally tuned fuel system and ECU... then you got a killer n/a engine. It's actually possible to build one yourself, if you have the money for the parts, but most people don't have the 10-20k or so extra dollars to actually build a real Formula A 4AG... now... with that, there's also the TRD Group A 4AG. It's the engine Takumi has in his hachi roku. It's something along the lines of 255 hp at 11,000 rpms... 20V head... etc, etc... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
1995 AT200 Celica ST: stocked out daily driver... 1984 AE86 Corolla GT-SR5: silvertop 20V 4AGE project car jacked up with goodies... 1991 SW2x MR2 n/a: bare bones hardtop model soon to be... |
