3sge or 5sfte, cant decide Options

[ummmx2]

there are so many pros and cons to both the 3sge and 5sfte. although the 3sge is cheaper, im not sure i have the mechanical ability to swap the engine successfully although it would probably be more reliable than the turbo setup. however, the 5sfte makes more power, i can put it together, BUT it also costs more and is less reliable. the 3sge is also a tough motor to find. what do you guys think?

edit: i have a 5th gen, so if anything id prob. be swapping a 2nd gen 3sge

you still need some wiring skills to hook up a stand alone ecu .... not to mention its expensive and you have to pay someone to tune it correctly for you after the install.

I'll try to learn as much as I can now. I've never done any wirering. The more I learn, the easier that bridge will be to cross when I get there. I can't wate to have money. If I keep the Celica, it will be one of the best on here. Should be the best in my opinion, only do to personallisation.

What about those guys who have 3sge's in there cars? Were do they get the wiring info? And would it be that hard to just get a clip? I've never seen any 3sge Celica clips though. Probably easier to go to with the 3sgte over the others unless your really ready to work. I don't know that much about mods, but I feel confident I could do a 3sgte with all the help there is out there. And I'd always go for a 3sgte over a 5sfte. It takes a good bit of money and effort to get the 5sfte to the same level as the stock 3sgte. 3sgte has a lot of potential too. If you want to be cheap, go for the 5sfte. No one is ever happy with this option though, they all want the 3sgte. Just what is seems like from my experiances on here.
