96, or 97 celica?, Any difference? Options

[ilAClI]

This has been posted on other celica sites but they all say to come here..:
First off, I want to know what you all think of a '96-97 celica that would be fixed up. I also want to know the limits of horsepower, torque, etc..you can push on the stock engine, and is it difficult to modify or add a turbo onto the engine?
Last question, If i wanted to supercharge it, would i use a centerfugal or positive displacement supercharger?

Thanks in advance,
AC

If its a GT the 3sgte will fall in pretty easy, or so ive read. The only hard part is suppose to be the wiring. You can even use the stock transmission if you dont plan on building up the engine any more than a bit above stock.

Also, if its a GT turbo is an option as the ct26 turbo and manifold from a 3sgte bolts right on. Additionaly, Ripp Mods offers a very good supercharger kit for the 5sfe. Its centrafugal i think.

take a look at the stickies on the top of the engine/trans performance section. They will answer more than i can.
