Answer 1

While a 5S-FE 2.2 liter engine is a great engine, it's a workhorse. Your best bet would be swapping in a used JDM 3S-GTE 2.0 liter turbo engine ranny, and ECU from an MR2 turbo or Celica All Trac turbo. That's good for at least 200 horsepower for starters and it is already built up fromt he factory. You will need to build up your engine with forged internals, upgrade your fuel system and have your ECU remapped if you want to turbo your current engine. This will cost more than the swap. However, if you go with the 3 S-GTE and want an automatic transmission (since 3S-GTEs were only offered with a manual tranny), you can use the automatic transmission from the V6 Camry of the same vintage. It has the same bolt pattern as the 3S-GTE's manual tranny and has been proven to work.
