Not sure of what i should do yet, 5SFTE or 3SGTE Swap Options

[Valo666]

Im starting my co-op placement in about 3 months time for a year. Its a paid co-op placement as a automotive technician. So im gonna be making around $15-$18 an hour so bringing in around $1300 a month..so im gonna start saving up for somethin to make some more power in my car. I like it the way it is, but..its just gettin kinda boring. Im either thinking of doing a 5SFTE or swappin in a 4th gen 3s. Im not sure of what i wanna do just yet. Im plannin on gettin this project started in the fall/end of the summer. What do you guys think i should do? I i did go 5SFTE i would go with a T3 or a T3/T4 turbo, custom made equal length manifold, 3" DP with matchin exhaust, bigger FMIC (stock 94 front bumper though), probably do a 4 peice hard I/C piping system, walboro pump...ur basic 5sfte setup...or i would just swap the 4th gen in, FMIC, etc..but no internals/turbo upgrade. What do you guys think i should do? I got a solid 5S in my car right now with like 50000km on it..so its still good. Ur opinion?

if your only looking for 230 then just go 5sfte

but if your like EVERYONE else, who says "i want xxx amount..." then 2 weeks later is like "its not enough" go either 4th gen 3s or 3rd gen 3s.


IMO if you have the money, go 3rd gen 3sgte. 2nd easiest electrical, and gives u area to expand in the future.
