Enigine fo my 2000 Celica (help)

Ok,,, Im thinkin of gettin a 2000 Toyota Celica. I don't want to keep the stock 4 in it so what would be a good engine to pop in her that would give her some nice speed n pep, for decent money, Im plannin on doin some drag with friends eventually but I can't afford some 15,000 engine. So you know my prediciment what should I do/

Any advice/

probably better to just turbo it.

yeh..... what engines are there for celicas that are in the lower range like $2000-7,000

Plus when you do get around to spending more money on the car and getting a better eninge at least you could still reuse the turbo and intercool.

Well, What if I were to rebuilt the used engine.... what would that do for me// About how much would it cost....is it a good idea

than do the turbo

what engine did you say you were going to rebuild?

Well, I was saying if I were to get the used celica engine rebuilt, would that cost a lot. Cuz i good do the turbo after its rebuilt.

If you have $7,000 to play with then there are a few possiblities. I don't know about toyotas but we typically charge $3500 total for a full engine rebuild including forged internals, gaskets, labor, removal, reinstall, etc. We also do custom turbo kits starting at $2000.00 intercooled. From there the possibilites are endless.

More power than the stock 4, eh? Turbocharge the 1.8 liter GT engine.

Well, if you're looking at the GT version, it's a better engine to turbo than the GTS (compression).

Do a search and read about turbo kits for the MR-S. It's the same engine as the GT celica. While you're at it, search for turbocharged GTs.

Or just get a Celica All-trac for less than $7000 and put $10K into it. Viola, much, much, much, faster. :P

Seriously though, turbo charging it would be the easiest/cheapest way. Just do it right the first time. You need proper engine managment to do anything like this. Anytime you start using 3 or 4 elec. gizmos to trick the stock ECU, you're asking for trouble.
