Im trying to decide what would be the best way to increase my car's performance. confused.gif Right now Im mainly leaning towards NOS and the 4A-GZE engine. I was wondering which of these would I get the most performance out of for the $ I'd pay for it. I also wanted to know if I would have to make any modifications on my car to install the engine. I have a 94 st w/ an auto tranny. Thanx. biggrin.gif

Either way, you're going to need to modify the car. The 4A-GZE swap into an AT200 is very difficult, and I've never seen one that runs. One person claims to have had it, though lacks the information about the swap, photos of it, and his multiple stories just don't make sense.

With nitrous oxide, you get quick horsepower for your money, though it's rough on your engine. I think a couple people here on 6G Celicas have blown their engines due to nitrous oxide.

Personally, I'd never install nitrous oxide in my car, because I'd rather have something that gives me more power all of the time and is better for the car, even if I spend five times the amount of money for the same horsepower. wink.gif
