ok i just wanted to know what you would do and why?
I say Turbo cause for me that is the best option... I can install the turbo myself in one day once i have all the parts... I'll be able to still pass emissions and if i don't i can just pull the turbo out and make the car N/A again...i'll also be about to get a turbo and the rest of the part for a lot less then i could get a jdm engine... and i'm not out to make crazy hp anything more then 200 is to much for me.. i just want a little more kick then what i already have.

seeing as how I was the only one really replying about doing the swap at the time of your reply it was pretty apparent that you where refering to me.
*sighs* completely uncalled for
Sorry that your father died and your moms sick - but you dont get to pick your life,its handed to you, and to complain about it is pointless so stop. Deal with the hand life has delt you. about the appartment and bills... welcome to the real world kid 
thats independence at it's finest... although you will come to find out that when you think you are in control is when you are are least in control
I talk about the swap alot cuz it is the best thing I have ever done for any of the cars the I have owned or helped to modify... and that is a BIG list.
I had my swap done probably before you had ever even heard of a 3sgte... let alone have a celica.
People have a tendancy to reccomend what has worked for them
Congrats captian obvious! yes there are other alternatives... hence this topic - if there was no other options we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Just a side note here - I have an average IQ of 186 taken from 5 different IQ tests... for those that dont know average IQ is 100 and genius is 200, I have scored as high as 193... so I guess genius is kinda fitting LMAO i just cant spell worth a damn
LMAO! thats fine but what the hell are you doing? I post on my experince and what I have found to be true from YEARS of building cars... and if you go back and reread my last post you will see that I am not actually discuraging people from a turbo kit... I am just trying to make people aware that it might not be the best option, and if your going to do something (weither I think it is a bad choice or not) at least take the time to do it right.
pretty sure I covered this one at the top of the post... 5sfeTurbo... do what the hell you want to your car.. I really don't care, but if I see a post on here 6months, year or some time after you turbo your celi about a "blown motor" or "I got a problem or "car is making a noise" or anyother thing like that expect an "I TOLD YOU SO" from me. macavely whats up man? I'm perfectly cool what ever happened to that MR2 motor you where gonna get? and yea your right.. any motor can blow, thats why it is important to do things the right way and not rush stuff.
You really dont ever know.. tearing the motor apart and doing a rebuild will give you a clue as to how hard the motor has been beaten but not really tell you how many miles there are one it. Best bet is to get your motor from a reputable place.
Not really true.. granted at 1st look it may seem cheaper.... but by the time you get it all done right your looking at about the same as a 3sgte motor. This post has been edited by NEVERSTOP: Oct 16, 2003 - 1:32 PM --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
