cheapest and easiest, swap in another 7afe. No need to worry about the wire harness and its cheap.

By far the best bang for your buck for an ST: 4AGE Blacktop.

It's not any more work than a 16v to swap it, it just makes more power smile.gif

You would add a custom turbo system to the 4AGZE which is already supercharged. I don't recommend it though. Here are some pics of it actually being done:

It swaps right in using either transmission, and use your stock axles. You will need custom wiring, a/c lines, p/s lines, and a little exhaust and intake work.

Just have the wiring converted: http://www.phoenixtuning.com/

The 6-speed from the 4AGE 20v blacktop should bolt right in like any other 4AGE.

In the Celica it's FWD. It can be swapped into some older RWD cars as well, like the AE86.
