I was just wondering if anybody has theyre 3SGTE swapped celi as a daily driver??
Do you have alot of problems out of it, and if you do, is it alot of upkeep? Im in quite a Situation trying to figure out what would be more cost efficient. A 3s swap, or just turboing my 5s.

i drive mine everyday.
with any turbo motor, your going to be poping the hood a lot more often then you ever had to do with your 5sfe. half of that time is going to be just for showing off the motor, and the other half is going to be spent tracking down a boost leak, or a sensor that decided to finally crap out after 16yrs. i cant see the 5sfTe being any different. if anything, its even more experimental, because it will all depend on your install and tuning skills to keep running right. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
