Hey guys,

i have a st202 celica and was wanting to add more power to her. the plan in the end is to fit the engine with a supercharger but that will be quiet expensive so will be the last thing fitted. im wanting a little information on the following items.

Induction kits / air filters.
Exhaust systems
Sports Cam`s
Lightened fly wheel
light weight pullys


Just wondering what compaines everyone use and what are the main advantage of each product. a rough price guide would be nice and any links to companies that could supply me these parts.

Thanks in advance

KEnny

Intake and exhaust act only as improvements to the engine's efficiency. Camshafts can dramatically change the engine's characteristics (more power)... but are more expensive and require significant tuning. There's no such a thing as 'bolt on' power when it comes to camshafts. Light/underdrive pulleys are fairly decent, but only free up minor power from engine rotation. The light flywheel is the same concept as the light/underdrive pulleys, but load reduction is applied directly to the engine. It's the most responsive mod and fairly cheap to do.
