Hello friends
I just purchased a 94 Celica GT its in decent condition especially for the age. I used to have a nitrous assisted 22rec truck many years ago which ran 13.3 then i purchased a sweet 22r from LC ENGINEERING that i put a small T-61:) turbo on then finally sold it.... I initially bought this Celica to drive daily and enhance its performance via turbo HOWEVER doing research turbo and the 2.2 is not the route to go:( unfortunately...So new struts, lowering springs(1.5"max), new slotted rotors, strut brace and polyeurathane bushings will be it...... I am not entertaining a motor swap of any kind, I have far too many projects for that lol. Great site so far -------------------- 94 GT only mods planned are suspension and wheels

Welcome! Good idea in staying away from turbo'ing the 5sfe. You will have more headaches doing that. This site has been really helpful to me and the people are extremely helpful.

the 5s can take turbo but as you can see from the builds on here, in the long run, it's just better to go 3s. costwise and timewise, it's just easier and better.
and you gotta love those 20/22r engines. I got 2 77 celicas with 20r in them. looking to build at least one of them and swap the other. --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |
