questions on 1994 celica gt Options

[Rcdel239]

Hello forum new guy here with some questions. So I have previously owned a 94 st but wasnt able to work on it much so I'm still basically a newbie.
I plan on buying a 94 celica gt hatch 5 speed. I know the whole afe system isnt much but a eco. gas saver so I was wondering what can be done as far as swaps or part swaps or mods. Ive always heard that you can use a age head but im not sure if thats true. Im not looking to have a super fast ride but pick up some more hp than its factory gives.

Putting a -GE head on an -FE motor will be just as much as, if not more, work than a 3S swap. As for more power from either the 5S or 3S engines, you're pretty much limited to the basic bolt-ons on a budget. By the time you've saved enough money to get any real power from either motor, you have enough for the 3S swap, which gives more bang for your buck. You're really better off to do basic maintenance than spend $1,000 on intake/header/exhaust and only gain 5 hp.
