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

the issue is that im 18, in college, and hold a steady job...not much time to work on my car. Other then like 8 hours or less on a weekend. And with no beater or back up ride, if it comes appart on the weekend, it has to go back together on the weekend....or it atleast has to be driveable, and safe. (safety is always a close second lol) Idk maybe in the future, when i have more free time ill consider a swap or turbocharging my 5fse, but right now, unless someone else does it for me, its just not practical.

Oh well, lifes a bitch, then u die....lol <----unless driving a nice GT-4 then it doesnt get much better than that....life that is....lol

If anyone has ne ideas hit me up with a PM.

im saving up right now for next summer, you dont have enough free time in summer? if need be you could always carpool or take the bus to work for awhile. and since your young like me and in college, i think the smarter route is to go with 5sfte. do research, install yourself, run at like 5si for daily driving and your set. id like to do swap, but if your like me, id rather not remove engine, tranny, splice wires, and worry about all the little junk. however, turbocharging a NA engine can bring its own host of problems if installed/operated incorrectly. either way, learn to the best of your ability exactly what needs to be done before buying parts, installing.
