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

well for swap, depends if you're gonna do the swap yourself or if you're getting someone to do it. but let say if you're getting someone to do it, i'll say $6000 range, that includes replacing all belts, filters, gauges, tune up etc.
for 5sfte set up, which is wat i'm currently doing, i've spent $3k+ on getting the parts in. always remember, RELIABLE KIT DOESN'T COME CHEAP. i'm glad i have manny, jeff, dustin, mac and other EC 6gc members who will be helping me out when i'm ready. if you're doing the work yourself, cost of the 3s MIGHT come up cheaper than the 5sfte. either way. you'll learn alot from both. cause i know i did.
