hey guys im new here obviously and i have been on these forums as well as many others researching FI for my 99 Celi GT So far its only been a headache. I have recently bought my car more out of looks then researching the engine first so when i bought it it was in my mind going to be more of a hobby for me considering ive never owned a tuner type car before my previous car being a 95 Lincoln town car.To my enormous displeasure ive found that most turbo kits and even possibly the only supercharger to come out for the 5sfe engine are no longer in circulation ive seriously been considering nitrous oxide lately or even an electric supercharger but the overall response on these forums has been a resounding "not a good idea" i eventually want to get another car but seeing as how this is my daily driver and i do like to go to the track at the race legal program they have here i know that if im to participate and actually be successful im going to have to seriously do something.So my question is to you my fellow 6g owners where can i get a full turbo kit for my car fuel pump injectors and everything...or a supercharger which i know must be a near impossibility and lastly should i just leave nitrous oxide out of the question completely? I really don't have the resources or time to hunt down all the parts and build the kit myself nor can i simply do an engine swap i need my car and i don't have the downtime but a weekend on installing a turbo kit don't sound to bad Oh and on top of that my car is an automatic i know thats bad but is there any hope for me at all???? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Gather your parts and learn the install intimatly. I spent well over a year reading about the install and then another year+ ordering parts and preparing. You can easly do the install over a weekend if you take the time to iron out the details ahead of time. Ive spent the past month+ under my car working on my kit and making sure everything was placed as best as possible. If I had tried I could have done 1 project at a time and kept the car driveable over the course of that month with the final install of the turbo.
Installing a turbo doesnt require "alot" of work. Its simply swaping a exhaust manifold for a turbo+manifold+DP with the oil and coolent lines already set, swaping the oil pan, taping for coolent and oil lines, relocating your oil filter, installing and running IC piping and swapping in larger injectors and 2 bar map. 3/4 of the work if fitment testing and prep work with alot of puting things on and taking them back off anyway. -------------------- Member of Team 5sfTe
