[garrisonboobs]

yea turbo or supercharger. or sell your car and use all that money for something better.

Hey now. Don't shun him away from the celi awesomeness. Turbo for the most. Or, exhaust, intake, and injectors.

Unfortunately These cars have a serious problem in the hp dept.your not going to be making any serious hp with out throwing big bucks into the motor , if you go with blower or supercharger is your bottom end up to the extra hp?? Do you have a ECU to handle the extra hp?? Do you want lower end power ( supercharger) or top end power (Blower).I think that the GT-S produces enough power for the speeds that are allowed here. Many more questions that can be asked , take your time and do the research.Asking online on a site like this will net you a zillion answers all different and all aimed at people wanting you to build a car just like theirs. Good luck with what ever you do and post pics.

180 hp from a 1.8L, how is that a problem?
the car needs moar torque

no offonse to anyone that mentioned it. but a Turbo at this point is just stupid. he has no need for it. go get some higher CC injectors and performance injector pump (or whatever the **** you call it on gas engines) get a high flow exhaust and intake system. do a general tune up with OEM spark plugs. take off the head and port and Polish it. get new valve springs/guides/valves/lifters/rocker arms maybe throw a slightly more aggressive cam in it. new head gasket. some head studs. then go for a Turbo.

Uhhm the problem is this car gets stomped stock by just about every thing out there , its pretty sad when a huge SUV rips you a new one coming off the line we all know what I mean so there is no use pretending that it doesnt happen , your stock Celica is no more powerful than mine so lets not pretend.

Didnt he say he only had like what...3000.00 to play with?? this would be perfect for what he wants... good call !!!

if i had 3000.00$ to play with i'd go get a totalled tdi jetta and throw that in there, 53 miles a gallon of diesel and it has way more power than the celica, least it feels like it does to me... especially if you have the manual and the parleys tuner
