turboing my 5sfe, BANNED. Options

[GT4Soldier]

Im really getting more and more interest into just turboing my 5sfe engine, i was checking out some turbo kits on ebay for an 5sfe engine.. and 1 guy is selling an rebuilt turbo kit taken out from his 5sfe engine for only 200 bucks plus 60 shipping.. so im just wondering if this is a good idea, not in terms of buying his rebuilt engine.. but turboing my engine period. I mean i still want an Gt4, but im thinking maybe ill hold that off till i graduate and just buy another GT and dp the swap.. b/c i really love celicas ... and I also think I can do it myself!!!

heres the link to the turbo kit taken from an 5sfe engine:

Doing next to zero research on your swap and handing it over to a random mechanic.... priceless.

lagos....

Umm, is a 1995 toyota celica USDM ST202? im not quite sure the difference. my car is a 1995 celica GT USDM, so i thought it was ST202.

case in point.

There are a bizzlion other things you don't know about your car and the motor you're having put into it. Research and knowledge is the one thing you can't buy or not have with a situation like this. Also, I would never hand my car over to a guy for this kind of work to be done and not have great communication with him. There are going to be issues/problems that pop up and with you and him not being to understand each other, eek. That scares me.

and with that said, as Shannon said the IC shouldn't be problem with a stock hood.
If you have any other problems/questions, post them up. I'm sure we'll all try to help.
