Don't kill me...I need a good ricer engine site My wife has a 97 celica GT that I've tried to get her to get rid of but, no luck. Now she wants to fix it up and make it faster. Unfortunately, I know NOTHING about toyota engines or aftermarket performance.
Now most here claim to hate anything import but, I bet most people have experience or know where to look for good info. Any ideas?
On the plus side I ordered my GMMG today WHOOO HOOO!!!

Otherwise you and the mad scientist got to rip apart the block... and replace the piston rings you fried.

It is a 3 step process:
1) Drive to Grand Canyon
2) Get out of car
3) Push over edge
Just kidding, I actually like Toyotas. Not for ricing, but they do make a quality car.
Google "Celica Forum"
I just did it and it came up with quite a few forums. Best of luck. And congrats on the GMMG.
Also, I just googled celica performance and also got some interesting hits.

Toyota makes some awesome cars and motors, the GT isn't bad but a far cry from the GTS motor, same motor Lotus uses in the Elise.
I'm not sure how much the GT has as out as far as after market goes but I know the GTS has some aftermarket and it's now growning even more since Lotus snagged the GTSs motor.
At very least your lady has a stout little motor that will last.

bunch of non-toyota people around here...
with a 97 celica, I'd swap a 3sgte in it.... it is toyota's 2.0L turbocharged compact car motor. They are fairly cheap to mod. for a few hundred dollars, you can get 300 hp outta that lil sob. look into the mr2 forums about the engine... it came in the celica all trac's (gt-fours) and the mr2's.
you could try doing an all-trac swap, which means putting in the 3sgte and awd.
