Building on my 7A-FE - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #86075 10 posts Started by 9-6celi
ok so i bought a 1996 celica(7a-fe)hatchback, and im a noob, and my brother tells me that i should put the 5s-fe in it because the engine is already capable of handling a lot of power , i just need to know where to even start with this car, i dont want a super fast race car but i just want something cool to drive every day and still be able to keep up with my friends. A list of things to do in order would be great !! laugh.gif

build 7a, turbo, supercharge, 5s swap isnt worth it unless immediately boosting or building, 3s(most expensive but also most powerful
so where should i start, with it , if im going to just keep the engine i have, and also should i keep the same trans?
you have alot of research and reading to do. everything you need is in this forum or can be found on google.

If I were you, I would just put a turbo on the 7a, until you can afford to do a 3sgte swap. Thats the only engine I would consider upgrading to, its the best.
