Can't put the 3SGTE, From 3SGTE- 5SFTE Options

[Jabberwock]

Eh...this sucks, got the 3SGTE and since it won't pass smog and it seemed we were going to have some complications in putting it in, I decided to give it up and just put the Burrien turbo onto the 5SFE.

I think I would need metal head gasket, FMIC, Forged Pistons, and camshafts for going high hp?

Where can I get the cam shafts and forged pistons. Is webcams cam shaft good for the turbo kit I want?

Thanks

I wouldn't boost past 7psi without the upgraded internals. You could prolly do 9psi without hurting too much as long as you weren't on the boost all the time. If you wanna do 12psi, I'd go ahead and get some JE Forged pistons made, get the camshaft regrinds, and get some kind of fuel management system...in which I recommend going all out and getting the most power you can and get some kind of Standalone Engine Management System, such as the PRS8 from www.perfectpower.com. Just make sure you also remember the regular boost mods, Boost Controller and a Turbo Timer.

See, many people think that since the 5SFE is an economy engine and the 3SGTE is a performance engine, that the 5SFE can't put up with a lot of boost. The only huge difference is in the head, because the blocks are essentially the same. If you upgraded all of your internals, you could easily boost higher than 12. This doesn't just mean pistons...this means pistons rings, cams, valve springs, etc. It all depends on how far you wanna take it.

Definitely make your references be GT2GT4, bwilson, west_minist....and one other I forgot to mention. These are the guys that know about this stuff and know it real well. They know the order things must come in, in order to make the car run well all of the time.

And definitely upgrade fuel and ignition system if you're going to run over 7psi.
