Ok, I'm new to the forum and toyota cars. Really into offroading and domestic drag racing, so I know alot about mechanics (actually a certified mechanic) and fabbing custom parts. My buddy has a 92 celica GTS and is wanting to swap the engine out. He want's a turbo motor and would like to make 300 Hp at the crank. He's more than willing to take his time ot get this done and is not affraid of spending money to make sure it gets done right. He's looking at buying the motor/tranny and wiring harness/ecu, within the next month with the swap being planned for around the middle of may.
A few questions that I've got are:
Can I get awat with using the stock tranny (havy duty clutch being installed) and I've got a buddy that works at a CV shaft shop that's gonna fab custom axles for the tranny.
What other mods should be done to the engine to get 300 HP. I know of one engine that makes 255 HP (sorry for I'd don't know the engine code, but I bet that most of you guys know what I'm talking about).
The car is going to be a daily driver in the summer for him to and from work, so I'm not really wanting a crazy setup. I'm thinking with a big FMIC along with a nice freeflowing exhaust, ECU chipping and a fuel rail. I should be able to get close to the 300 crank HP my buddy wants. I'm I being realistic here or should I be looking at going another route?
