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.

Turbo and mani and other various supporting mods
fuel and engine man. sys
open exhaust
intercooler
tune.
Metal hg

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).

Well, I just don't get why you want stock pistons and rods in that thing. If you don't want to do a 3sgte swap, I say get your block and crank prepped for 3sgte rods and 87.5mm pistons. And just use the 5sfe head. Know one would be able to tell the difference. You can pick up a set of rods for what? like 40 bucks. The pistons you could probably get for a little over 500. And having your crank machined to fit the rods, you'd be golden. Thats money well spent on a solid 5sfe ready for boost. And pick up a metal head gasket too, I believe 98+.
