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

From what your saying I would recommend you go straight with the 3sgte swap.
If you do take the 5sfte route, it will only be a matter of time before you go with the 3sgte swap. Even Manny would agree with this. It is only a matter of time before the 5sfte gives up on you. So I would say save up till you can get the motor and manual tranny, and go for it  You'll save more money at the end of it. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
