Help, turbo build idea Options

[6G96GT]

I need to know if this is worth it? I would like to turbo my 5s-fe. I had the head rebuilt this past March. I am having webcams installed in about 2 weeks and all I need to do is rebuild my engine block (doesn't need it at the moment at all but I do have 184K on it and don't think it's safe to turbo). Anyway, can I just rebuild the block with stock internals and keep the webcams in with a 'low boost' set up?? I know I will need an upgraded fuel and engine management system. I just don't want to have to lose the webcams or do anything else costly unless I have to.

About it right? Remember, low boost set up (hoping to get about 6-8 psi).

I'm thinking about the $5G mark (professional installed including parts (I have a really good hook up on parts costs).

5g should be enough, even with the stock rebuild, as long as you do it yourself. The machining of the block should be around 300-400. Do a compression test on your motor to see how healthy she is. When you had the head rebuilt, what kind of head gasket did you use? I don't understand why you would set a 5,000 limit on a 5sfte set-up with a stock internal build.


Spend the money on a 2nd gen swap, or if your lucky and can afford a 3rd gen DO IT!!!!!
