ok so i bought a 1996 celica(7a-fe)hatchback, and im a noob, and my brother tells me that i should put the 5s-fe in it because the engine is already capable of handling a lot of power , i just need to know where to even start with this car, i dont want a super fast race car but i just want something cool to drive every day and still be able to keep up with my friends. A list of things to do in order would be great !! laugh.gif

build 7a, turbo, supercharge, 5s swap isnt worth it unless immediately boosting or building, 3s(most expensive but also most powerful

1MZ-FE V6 swap. Find a rear ended Camry or Solara.

If I were you, I would just put a turbo on the 7a, until you can afford to do a 3sgte swap. Thats the only engine I would consider upgrading to, its the best.
