I would guess the reason no one is replying is because this topic has been posted time and time again. Do a little bit of extra research and you'd be surprised what you'll learn. You'll appreciate the information more when you discover it on your own.

thanx for ur help but i really cant find info on this.. and i want to know what you guys think

[YellowTwo]

yea i know what u mean. its kind of annoying when people tell you to just look because it's everywhere...when it's not. a lot of times it is there, but not always.

anyways to answer your question i have heard greddy is one of the best exhausts.

look under "how to articles", "performance"

You might check with Evilspeed about getting exhaust from them

2 ways to go. Talk to Top End Performance and get 10:1 JE forged pistons (they own the blueprints) and a thinner metal head gasket from them. All this is to raise your CR. After that, go talk to HKS, or webcams and get yourself a set of high duration, high lift cams, be prepared for a rough idle. Might want to get an adjustable cam gear while you're at it. While you're ripping out your block, get the head ported and polished, as well as bored out. Install a piggy back Fuel Computer. Might as well just get a Stand Alone Engine Management system. The second option is to order a stroker kit from JUN (will make your car 2.4L). You'll have to wait 6 months at least to get it, and find a competant mechanic to install it for you. Get a Fuel Management Computer with this setup as well.

These are ENGINE mods. They're modifing the engine. They will add serious power to what you already have, but are costly. If you just want little things that don't modify the engine, but modify the secondary parts that function with the engine, then look around this site. There's a plethora of information. If you somehow don't find it here, go to celica.net

Thank You

Actually, I just read that you have a 1.8L meaning you have the 7AFE. That's a little bit more complicated. You can always slap on a 4age/4agze head (supercharger with the later) as well as the harness and computer for it. That'll give you alot more power than what you have now. You can also slap on some 4age corolla parts, some will fit with minor modification.

Well you got 20k just drop a Supra engine it No Im kidding thats a joke, not feasabile. Just take your time, decide what you really want to do with. I did all basic bolt up, and I'm more and more appreciating my car. it took me a year to do all the mods on mine and now Im just starting suspension. Dont worry about being the fastest because its propably not happening, just slowly develop a all-around solid car.

Good luck bro.
