Opinions, 5sfte over 3sgte Options

[Legit94GT]

So i am now leaning more towards turboing my 5sfte instead of doing a 3's swap.

Wouldn't the 5 have a great power potential over the 3's because it is a 2.2L and not a 2L?

If i do all the work to turbo it myself, i can use my extra money to stroke the engine, but if i do that would that maybe be to much horse power for the motor?

Has anyone stroked thier engine and what was your gain in hp?
I've seen some posts say for around a $2,500 it make your engine put out around 300hp...

Thanks for the info...

never ment to be an arguement, you are one of the smarter members here and have helped a lot of us along the way.

If you really feel that way, then at least consider this advice....

Bolting on a ct26 and connecting a few oil/coolant lines is actually REALLY simple. Do some basic research on what you need to buy, and listen to Manny when he yells at you for buying cheap oil lines. You can do the whole install in a weekend with a few buddies.
Then take the money you saved from doing it yourself and invested in an AEM EMS and have someone who is AEM certified tune the car for you.
You will have a far better setup, for the same (or less) then what you're going to spend at that shop, and you'll get to learn something.
Then when future generations of people come here to learn how to turbo their car, you will be the one able to guide them along their path.
