6G Celicas Forums

Ok, so i wanted to buy a SRI, but i'm broke and a little confussed.

The 7afe is also a corolla engine, correct? the 1.8 st celica model? if this is so, is it possible to buy mods for the corolla and put them in the celica? for example, a performance SRI. This only came to me after a little searching online and wondering about how i can get more power in this thing. another note, would a turbo kit built for a corolla be able to fit in the celica or would the wireing be off??

How are the cheaper ebay SRI? are they a good buy?


--sry for these nobish question, I just started mob my celica.
next step, 7gen short shifter..........

ehh well to me a SRI is a SRI.... i bought an ebay version and it sounds good...i have a ST and i kinda wished now i would have got a CAI ,but its just a slight difference in HP gain if any...

spend the $5 and get a drop in filter... and for the shifter... get better coordination... in my mind you are just wasting money for next to no gain out of an st... it sucks i know... but use your funds elsewhere in life or make your car look pretty... with pink hello kitty stickers... and flowers painted on the side... haha

ona side note i believe there is like a 2hp if that gain from any intake mod and a short shifter.... you may save 1/10th of a second shifting... which can be made up with better foot - hand coordination so is the $100 for it all really worth it?

Yea, that’s awesome, I’m going to get a dragon sticker and some random green flames.....lol

Naw, but, I do want a SRI. The SRI just for the hell of it, since I had my celica for 2 years now and I haven't really done anything to it, except for a new deck.....I just had an extra few bucks and , well what the hell, school sucks so I’m going to at least have fun driving.

On the short shifter note, I just want one because everyone I know says it's awesome. Plus I thought it would cost $140+ to get a short shifter but just found out (on this forum) that I can get one for ~$40. (sooo lucky ) But shifting wise, I wouldn't say I’m the best but when it comes down to racing with my weak ST, it's not a problem(hell I shift faster then everyone I know).

I'm just looking for an outlet for my money and time, to distract from school and exams.

Hey for mine, all I gotta say is two SRI's equals one CAI. Haha. I mean it still works! But yes any SRI will work the same. And the turbo kit should fit fine.

u just coupled em together? lol, i was thinking of doin that, but im fine with my shorty

facade,

you can get one off of ebay for rather cheap. with our cars, the ST, there is lil we can do performance wise. but i say, just make it look nice n fast n keep it maintained. i bought my SRI off of ebay and it makes a good throaty sound, but since i put a loud muffler on my car, i cant even hear it im gonna remove the loud ass muffler soon so that i can give my engine at least a lil respect

you could probably get one off of ebay..its a lil shorter than i would like it, so im going to buy these intake pieces from pep boys later. they cost around 15 bucks a piece, but you could make your own SRI with em or CAI depending on what you want n how many pieces ya wanna buy.

good luck man!

short shifters make all the difference in the way you shift...its a GREAT mod.
and for $100 its not expensive either....heck get one for $40 off ebay.


SRI is booooo lets suck in all the hot air possible ftw?! no

oem intake, replace the stock soft piece (the bend) with an alum. piece and get a drop in K&n and remove the resonator boxes is a better idea

^What? putting in am aluminum piece will just conduct heat.

I just got an elbow bend and a filter. Might not make the car fast but it sure sounds nice!

what do you think many intakes are made out of?!

put a piece of cardboard, between the strut and the tread of the tire ( like bicycles) that is sure to make some noise....

aluminum also dissipates heat faster i believe
