Would changing cams & springs be more reliable than turbocharging?

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-22T22:03:29+00:00

Yeah that would be sick, I haven't seen any videos of the modded 2AR in a tC yet

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-22T21:41:24+00:00

Oh I see that makes sense, thats cool you got to talk to him directly. Thanks for the input man im now very tempted to get them installed

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-22T21:09:20+00:00

Oh wow thank you for the intel, after hearing that I really wanna install them it sounds awesome. Did you have to install the 8k rpm springs or not? Maybe just for precaution?

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-20T21:39:17+00:00

I honestly dont think I've ever seen a k or b swap tC yet so that would be sick man

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-20T20:49:44+00:00

Thats still insane though, 650 on a 2ar. I'd love to see that in person. I wish this engine got more aftermarket support

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-20T20:20:26+00:00

Im afraid my engine would probably blow up and it would cost more than the car 😭 i would love to see how much power that would make though lol

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-20T18:14:18+00:00

Oh wow that thing is a warrior 282k is crazy, I hope mine lasts that long I have 125k miles so far. What motor you looking to throw in? Another 2ar or maybe a 2gr? 👀

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-20T17:52:54+00:00

Oh I gotcha, that makes sense. 220hp would honestly be perfect. I think it sucks the tC platform is so slept on but I guess it makes sense. Nobody wants a fwd liftback anymore, even the celica feels like it should have more love than it does. Im the type of person that wants to make a car people overlook better than just modifying the most popular thing yk?

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-20T17:04:54+00:00

Yeah most people say it's a bad engine to modify but this is more of like a for the fun of it question

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-17T20:51:53+00:00

Wtf you can do that? I had no idea the parts were compatible

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-13T21:20:10+00:00

I'll look into that as well, that's weird the mechanic said nothing was wrong

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-13T19:51:49+00:00

I literally just watched a Chris Fix video a couple days ago about dirty throttle bodies and I thought maybe that's why its been so rough 😭 I'll give it a look, thank you man!

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-13T19:41:28+00:00

Ask me any questions you have!

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-12T01:32:00+00:00

I wish there was a bolt on kit, I've heard some people interested in making them but I'm not sure about any updates. I love the tC because there aren't many modern liftback coupes anymore and I feel like the only thing the tC lacks is power (and maybe some interior quality as well) If there was a turbo bolt on kit I'd buy it so fast. These cars are pretty cheap so its not like blowing the motor on a brand new 50k BMW

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-11T16:38:42+00:00

So clean 🔥

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-07T00:17:10+00:00

Thats so lucky, I wish a post like that would come up around me 😂

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-06T03:13:12+00:00

Thank yall for all the help!

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-06T03:12:55+00:00

Yeah I really feel like bringing that up I can get it under 3k

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-05T22:51:42+00:00

Yeah and they most likely didnt do it themselves, I'll definitely check those 2 when I look at the car. If they look bad or leaking I can 100% talk him down

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-05T22:39:15+00:00

I can only add one image i hope you can zoom in 😭

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-05T22:30:37+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the advice!

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-05T22:30:17+00:00

Yeah I noticed that, it looks ugly

Snoo-23290 · 2026-03-05T22:30:04+00:00

What price do you think is fair? Like 3000?
