Well the basic problem is that your EFI system probably has on oxygen 
sensor.  This will give feed back info to the ECU, so the ECU will know 
it's running rich and there by lean things out so you're right back where 
you started.  The gain will come at WOT when the O2 sensor can't send 
info fast enough to the ECU so the computer ignores it.  Do you have an 
O2 sensor?

About your Celica, across the pond our Celica's of this vintage were EFI 
already.  Bosch LH to be exact, well the Nipondenso version of it.  
Perhaps you might want to consider a simple swap of parts.
