Deciding What to do... Options

[Brandroid94]

Hello everyone!

I have been on this site for a while now and I admire all of the amazing work you all have done with your 6th gens. Right now, I am looking to do something like that. Whether it be to Turbo/Supercharge my current 7A-FE setup, or to engine swap to a 3S-GTE. I am not mechanically inclined in any way but I do like to get my hands dirty and learn new things. I know either way will be a great amount of work and money but I am willing to do it. I have seen that there are differences in the ST and the GT bays that make it hard to fit the 3S-GTE without some major work. I have been looking into getting a GT and swapping the engine out from there so that it would be a little bit easier.

If you guys could help me see how much each option would be roughly I would greatly appreciate it! I do have a couple mechanics that are friends who could help me with what I want to do so that saves me a lot of money for labor! I appreciate any help or advice that I can get from you!

I have done a lot of research this weekend and it looks like it will be roughly the same amount of time and money for both options. I have looked at many different posts to get a mock parts lists ready and for the GT swap I am looking at roughly $4,000. I could not find how much new Shifter Cables and Axles will be though so it may be higher. It is hard when many parts lists are older so they don't exist anymore.
