Welcome to Toyota Nation. You could upgrade to a 4A-F (1600cc carby) but I'm not sure how much work would be involved. If you wanted a real power upgrade you could swap in a 4A-GE, but there'd be a lot more work involved in that as you'd have to upgrade the fuel pump etc so that the fuel injection worked properly. As for the diagrams, I'd recommend buying a Haynes manual. You can get them for quite cheap secondhand, or you can buy them brand new from places such as Repco or SuperCheap Auto.

if you want something that would bolt right on is if you can get a hold of a jdm 5efe, 4efe or 4efte since you are coming from a 2e
