Alright, so I have a stock 5S-FE, with just under 207,000 miles. It's getting to the point where I gotta start replacing things. Within' the last 4 months I've replaced the distributor, radiator, need to replace the air hose, and now I'm having problems with the ignition wiring or something. So this is my idea: I want to get a new engine, with fewer miles, would like to have turbo, and preferably less than 100,000 miles if I can. I look at it as I have 4 options, and was hoping to get estimates and how much each one would cost. Here are my options:
1) Replace my current 5S-FE with a new 5S-FE, estimated price? 2) Replace my 5S-FE with a new one, and get turbo, i.e 5S-FTE. price? 3) Replace 5S-FE with 3S-GTE swap. price? 4) Buy a Celica that already has one of the swaps done. estimated price 6000 - 8000 $ If I went this route, I'd be selling my Celica, and hopefully getting 3500-4000 out of it. I will not sell it with the current ignition problem. That will be fixed or I keep the car. So anyways I was hoping some of you would know how much I'm looking to spend for taking one of these routes. And I won't be doing the installs, I don't know enough about engines and what-not to install one. Unless it's the straight swap between 2 5S-FE's, then my dad can do it since it's the same. -------------------- - Be careful when playing leapfrog with a Unicorn -

New 5sfe=about $1000 New 5sfe then turboing= add about 3k...so $4-4.5k 3sgte= about $5-5.5k -------------------- ![]() |

U can even maybe get a new 5sfe a lil cheaper. -------------------- You say you don't understand how we go dumb, but have you ever been where i'm from?
