What's up?...I'm new here...I'm native to 300zx's and 3000gt's...celicas are relativly new stomping ground for me...but I just bought this 94' celica stx...
 Veilside body kit (not the invader look alike), FF5 wheels, Enjen intake, pro street exhaust (?)... I'm considering building the engine...except this 7afe already has 175k miles on it...and this car is an automatic...which way would be easier and more effective?...the mr2 conversion?...or to build up the 7afe with forged parts before turboing with the older 4a headers?.... pz |

Welcome to the site.
I suggest research. You can't bolt a 4A-GE header(not plural, there's only one) onto a 7A-FE. And even if you could, you don't want a header if you're going for a turbo setup. And where do you plan to find forged internals for the 7A-FE? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

welcome! Did you add the body kit yourself or did you buy it with it? For the st, i always like the 4age route for engine swaps. The NA options just seems cool and novel to me. But if you really want the power, then 3sgte is really the best way to go.
