Swap or Turbo??? Options

[macavely]

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.

hahaha this is funny. I am doing the 5sfTe my self but either is a good way to go. You have to just remember you cant just throw it all on your car and call it a day. Any setup takes months of planing and researching before you should even pop the hood. The 3sgte is a beast and that is why it can hold more boost (it was built for it). The 5sfe can also hold boost well. The thing with the 5sfe is there is almost no room for error. You have to spend the money to properly tune the engine or detonation will kill your engine in no time. I think the 3sgte people should take a look at what it takes to turbo the 5sfe to gain some knowladge of the pros and cons. So they know more than "It never works" "The motor will blow". And in turn all of the 5sfte/7afTe people should do the same.
This site doesn't need its members at each others throuts because there is a difference in someones views. We are healping no one this way. If say I knew as much about the 3sgte swap as I do about the 5afTe and NEVERSTOP knew the same about the 5sfTe just think about how much more information we could provide.
1 thing I do believe is that you shouldn't knock it until you have tried it. 5sfeturbo, you have been reading and asking questions but you still have not turbo'ed your car right? Please atleast give NEVERSTOP the benifit of atempting one or the other.
