Starting Performance Mods Options

[Swifty]

Ok I'm on the verge of buying a 94 GT or GTS but before I blow like 9 grand Canadian I need to know how much I can upgrade this beast. I'm a full time student so I dont have lots of cash but I'm good with cars and am going to do all of my own work, a few weeks ago I was considering a 2g Talon or a 95 integra but They dont have the looks of the celica. My #1 concern is performance though, so I was wondering is there any good place to start on a budget but without skimping on anything. When I was looking at Talons I came across this site

http://www.jumptronix.com/2g_go_faster/

It has a pretty good layout and I know its not done but it does a good job of explaining all of the mods and gains. I'd like to know how much power I can get out of the 6g GT with like 2 grand invested into it, I think the 3s-gte swap is out of my price range but id like to know if there is a way to get around 250 hp on my budget and Id like to know if there is a site like the 2g DSM one above for the celica that has good info on the mods and theyre effects

With your budget.

Intake. 150-200
Exhaust. 250-400
Header. 200
Plugs. 40-60
Wires. 130-150
Under drive pully. 200
Aftermarket clutch. 300-400
Short shifter. 200

If you go that route and spend the max of waht I have listed you should have spent about $1810. This should give you a car worth at best 16.00. Thats atleast what I'm shooting for. This is the exact settup I have now. If I were your I would set aside another 2000 and get a set of Wisco pistins, Web cams regrinds (regrinds your stock cams for wigher lift and longer duration), Pauter rods and a good P&P.

All that should set you at around 14.5-15.0 (or so I hope)

The next step would be a turbo settup.

(All of the above are my plans over the next year. Turbo kit is alnost 1/2 complete)
