right now i have a 94 toyota celica with a 2.2l 5sfe engine. would it be better to rebuild and put a new head on the 5sfe or to buy a 3sgte engine and do a complete engine swap. i have an auto. tranny right now and eventually i want to change that to manual so take that into consideration also. the main thing i want is to turbo my car and i know you can turbo a 5sfe but is it real spendy or nothin compared to a whole new engine. also can you put a 3sge head on a 5sfe engine to upgrade the engine. thanks for the help

3sgte hands down. if you want to rebuild and turbo your existing setup properly its price would be comparable to the swap. in the long run, 3sgte will be more reliable since it was designed for boost. also since you want to swap trannies makes it an even easier decision.
