So i wanted to know what you guys who are 'In the Know' think about this:
other then engine displacemnt and obvious advantages the 3sgte has i want to know what you guys think is more worth wild. Iv been doing alot of my homework and have basiclly decided on simply swaping my 5s-fe with a 3s-gte, BUT i was wondering what you guys WITH either 3s-gte's or 5s-fte's think about it. What seems more worth is, AND if i were to turbo a 5s-fe how much boost can i push safely with out any internal work? All of your imput would be very helpfull... --------------------  |

3sgte is a realiable turbo motor. there are many alltrac and mr2 owners runing 10-15psi everyday for 100,000 miles or more. so in my book, that makes it more worth while.
on the other hand, you have the 5sfTe. many celica owners have tried and quite a few didnt work out, but there are some new projects on the horizon that are looking good... time will really tell how well the 5sfe handles in the long run, but it can be a cheaper alternative for some people...if it works out. if you end up blowing a motor, and having to swap in another one, the cost will end up being about the same as a 3s swap. either way, get read to dump some money into your car, and have fun with it. youll learn a lot about your car in the process.
