My plan, boost me up scotty! Options

[frosty]

Alright, I have spent many a months and countless nights thinking about what I want to do with my celicas power and have come to a conclusion. I would like to go the route of the 5s-gte hybrid but don't have all the funds needed to go this route now. I really want to go boost and after reading and studying many of the 5s-Fte build-up and the mr2's builds, I decided I will walk this path. One thing that also makes it nice is that if in the future if I want to go the 5s-gte way then I will already have a multitude of the parts on hand for that project. I also have support from my wife as well. The only draw back is that our hvac brokedown and we're having to buy a new one. I do have a bunch of music equipment and other items around the house to sell wich will allow us to be able to pay the hvac off in a few months and begin the fTe build.

Lookout guys! A new 5s-fte is cooming your way this year!

instead of trying to worry about how many cool points youll earn on the net, try to think of what power goals you would like to reach and what will be the best way to go about that.

EDIT: this isint really directed at anyone. just my general point of view on these types of topics. but if you have money to burn, and can afford someone like ChrisK to build you the motor of your dreams, then forget everything i just said.

I agree 100% on this. I also was tempted to do either a Supercharger or Turbo conversion on my 3S-GE engine. It would be something rare/unique but easy.... no. I went for the "safe" route with the swap. I think that building up experience doing "just" the turbo conversion on the 5S-FE is enough to satisfy you. Even if you have higher power goals. Look at manny a good example of someone building up experience in time and with very nice results in the end (with more to come I guess).
