[rstype23]

Hey everyone im new here.

im looking for suggestons on how to mod a 2.2L celica. from a 130hp to 200-240hp. any suggestions?

everything is stock and i would like to keep that car as N/A not turbo. and if it were to go to 200 - 240hp what other changes should be made to the car to have a great perfomance.

Thanks

well i guess i'll be the first to tell you off for not looking at stickies and other threads, read around a bit, its dam near impossible to get 5s to run 200hp (to the ground) and still be NA. turbo is very possible. read the progress threads of presure2 among others that will give you plenty of info about the 5s

welcome to the site You will have a very hard time modding the 5sfe 2.2L to make 200hp. But there are a few mods you can do. Such as Header, exhaust, intake, cams, and tuning. The install of cams will REALLY change the way car feels/pulls. Unfortunately there is really no performance for the 5sfe out there, so the only real option to make above 200hp is to turbo. There is a lot of information out there for turboing the 5sfe, just look up the names Presure2 or Supershannon77. There is plenty of reading to be had there.

You can also look up the 3sgte swap. Its a factory turbo motor swap that is commonly done in these cars. This is another great option for our cars.
