Im saving for an engine build, im about half the way there with funds. also im guessing my time line is within the next year*
my question is whats my best bang for the buck? the more research i do on fwd turbo cars i hear about a "suspension demon" that creeps out around 200whp and you loose traction in turns when you apex a turn and attempt to accelerate outa a turn... ive sat shotgun in a boosted gen2 swap "toyotacrazy" and was almost gonna trade celicas with him+ cash. also rode in a supra. both cars slammed me into the backseat from rolling takeoffs, but in the supra when the clutch gets dropped wile in boost and the rear end gripped the road it sounded like we hit something "chassis twist"

so the garage i apprentice at is mainly a supra shop, specialty is the almighty "7mgte"/ anyway since day 1 the owner shane has told me to ditch the celica and get a supra if i want to make big power, get that power to the ground, and stay safe. we do rebuilds all day long and port and polish heads and manifolds too.
ive driven a turboed honda hatch that we use as the company beater its prolly around 180hp, its fun in boost/ but i wouldnt say its unruly on the roads. sorry for the ramble, but just giving yall background that ive driven boosted fwd "if honda even counts" yuck!

theres also a chance of buying my friends N/A 280z he started overhaulin to drift with. (that said i hate drifting!)

or find a good quality mr2 body with a blown 3sgte.

and finally learn to ride a bike and work my way up to hell on 2 wheels. (i dont ride yet, and im not crazy enough for stunts/ cause i think driving around uninformed motorist is dangerous enough)

I already know everyone's gonna say to get a 3sgte. I guess my answer would be more of a question: what are your goals with this swap? Are you looking for low-end power, high end power, what? Are you planning to autoX, is this your dd? The answer as to what's the most bang for your buck will depend entirely on what you hope to achieve with your swap.

"i wanna go fast" -Ricky Bobby im wanting acceleration from lowerend power, yes dd, and i wasnt wanting much over 300whp from a budget of 6k... i want wow factor, fun to drive and something unique if possible. im not wanting to rev the hell onta my engine to get boost or get into my powerband. i hate how hondas make power wayyy up there in rpms
