Redoing the lungs of my 1995 celica st204R... Options

[sillycarowner]

Hey guys total noob to the forums here. Currently living in Australia and yes i love the fact there is little to no aus celica clubs lol.

I own a 1995 celica sx stock st204R u know the drill, got 2.2L and stuff haha Smile

But yeah i'm faced with a problem, my car is entirely stock only just bought it and seeing as a turbo is out of the question for me i am looking to redo the air flow system of my car from intake to exhaust.

So yeah my problem begins here, what to replace first?

I've been trying to look into the gear my celica has but it's proving difficult so would anyone mind giving me a hand by pointing out where the main bottle necks are in the air system eg the cat converter, the extractor, exhaust, intake etc etc.

But yeah i just don't want to say buy a new cat-back system to find not enough air is being taken in to allow the exhaust to take advantage of the new gear.

Also any relevant sites to buy/research these parts would help me greatly.

Thanks tons for your time guys!!

In my opinion, you should carefully consider whether the cost of these modifications and extra noise is worth the 5-10 hp you will see. For the vast majority of people, the answer is no.

In your shoes, I would take the money and buy some very nice coilovers, some 17 inch wheels and very sticky tires. The differences in performance will be VERY noticable. The fun-factor in the corners will improve 10 fold.
