What is the most HP I can get from a 97 Celica GT 2.2 American Model, What can I can to add more horsepower. Options

[howie_vang]

I HAVE A 97 CELICA GT 2.2L AMERICAN MODEL AND I WANT TO ASK YOU 6GC FANS TO SEE WHAT CAN I DO TO ADD MORE HORSEPOWER TO MY CAR. THE REASONS ARE THAT I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE FOLLOWING MODELS: 94-2001 ACURA INTEGRA GSR/LS, 94-2000 HONDA CIVIC EX/SI THAT WANTS TO RACE ME A QUARTER MILE. MY MAIN FOCUSED IS TO BEAT THE 94-2001 ACURA INTEGRA GSR THAT COMES WITH 180 HP STOCK. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BEAT IT WITHOUT SWAPPING YOUR ENGINE. MOST OF THEM HAD SAY THAT CELICAS ARE WEAK AND IT MAKES ME MAD. NEED HELP. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

HAS ANYBODY ABLE TO BEAT THESE MODELS BEFORE? ( WITHOUT SWAPPED ENGINES BUT ONLY MODIFICATIONS STUFF)

SO FAR MY CAR HAS:
1. CARBON FIBER HOOD
2. EBAY HEADER
3. INJEN SHORT RAM INTAKE SYSTEM
4. WHAT ELSE ARE OUT THERE THAT I CAN BUY...(GOOD SPRAK PLUGS & WIRE<DOES IT HELP?)

who cares. Integras are sh1t too imo. i'd get a 6gc > integra any day. And no im not being biased just because i have a 6gc

PS: if you count a GT-four as a celica (which it is). i doubt they'd be dissing your car. too bad you cant have GT-FOURs in the US

Horse power sells cars, torque wins cars.

1/4 mile world maybe

They're not illegal, they're the same as any other JDM cars, i.e. Skyline, Silvia, etc. It just costs a ****load to bring them over here and get them up to snuff with U.S. emissions standards. It's easier just to get a Celica here, get the 3SGTE, GT-Four tranny and AWD conversion, and later do the GT-Four bodywork. Boom, RHD GT-Four.
