3sgte vs 5fse (moneywise) Options

[devilsden97]

aight, obviously u get more power out of the 3gste.....(ofcourse if u have a stock one versus a super modded 5fse then it has no chance, so dont bring that up)

What kinda $$$ difference are we talking about by swapping out the 5fse and putting in a 3gste?

Price of 3gste: Give range plz
Price of swap: Give range plz

Price of turboing (is that a real word?) 5sfe: Give range plz


For the same amount of money, which is gonna put out more ponies? [this includes install(swapping, tubing, turbo, etc...), Parts (engine, linkage, turbo, etc...)]

Thanks and love to all 6gc owners

turboing? i think turbocharging works better

as for your questions on price, theres a thread on celicatech that has a lot of swap information, and it points out how stupid frankly it is to ask for price. you can pay as little or as much as you want. if you want to know exactly how much it costs, i suggest looking up clips, installation, etc. heres a thread that will give you a rough idea 3sgte swap and heres a guy who will install it for ya dr_tweak. a 5sfte cost all depends on whether or not you plan on doing engine work, install, and if you get the parts new/used. as for which will put out the most bang for the buck, the swap will. but if your like me and just want a somewhat quicker car on the streets, go with 5sfte, will save hassle of full blown swap.

ya lagos is right, id say 2 is your lower end, and the skys the limit. i would suggest having at least 5 though at beggining of either project because unexpected things might pop up.
