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: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...T&viewitem= This post has been edited by GT4Soldier: Dec 9, 2008 - 4:00 PM -------------------- BANNED

Well since its OBVIOUS presure or anyone else doesnt know any history about me, besides the 1 time i decided to post something on this site last summer, Ill give you guys my run down.. first time I starting reading this site.. aug 06, when I first bought my car. I looked at what other ppl did to their cars, and I said to myself hmm maybe sometime down the road when I get some money Ill try and do something like a turbo or a swap as well.. First time i read wilson's how to turbo ur 5sfe was jan 07.. thats when I was working full time.. looked at the basic parts needed and recommended.. sounds interesting.. but wouldnt a swap be easier?? probably a month later i looked at defgeph's post on how he swapped a 2nd gen gt4 into his st.. Which is probably the best sticky on this site in my opinion.. I know that sticky backwards and have it as one of my favorites.. it took roughly a year to determine what i wanted to do.. but i made a descision and went for a 3rd gen gt4 engine swap.. like i keep trying to tell ppl here.. MONEY and TIME was the reason the swap was failure.. not my lack of research.. if ppl would spend less time being a follower and assuming things about me, maybe i would have avoided having to defend myself every post I put up.. Presure, thats cool that you spent 4years plus on your research and that you actually had the TIME to had done your turbo, but unfortunatly not everyone has the time to do stuff as intense as a turbo or swap you know, nevertheless i was thrilled that you guys had done these amazing projects.. i commend you.. despite your opinions about me.. and trust me.. I know a great more about my car then you guys think.. oh and my intercooler questions was because I wanted to explore other options than FMIC... of course thats the best bet.. but the design is very time consuming.. which was why i was trying to work around that.. I really wish ppl would get a grip on soo many smart comments... i should have just stayed underground like my friends warned me.. but they are members of a BMW forum.. and I thought celica owners are more friendly.. apparently that isnt the case..

presure, ur hopeless dude.. whoever appointed u as a moderator needs to be shot. you obviously have no reading comprehension, your replys to me dont even make sense. you call me a failboat.. when the only thing ive failed at is noticing how much of an a$$ you are. So just keep quoting me and replying with "moron" or "failboat".. b/c to be honest its very humorous to see someone as old as you arguing with me.. and your supposed to be this wise all knowing moderator..
