I've been really thinking about doing something major to my celica but I'm not sure what to do. Given that everything turns out the way I planned i can get the 3s swap for 4-5k.
Now I was also thinking about rebuilding the 5s with new internal and strapping a turbo to it which sounds cheaper, but I need to know if it is really cheaper Also I heard that the 3s head can be swapped to the 5s block, can a 3s head from (just an example) a junked mr2 with a 3s be put on my motor I've done alot of my research so I know the details of both sides but I wanna know the opinions of you guys for internals and how your projects turned out for the 5sfte and 3sgte I'm sure questions like this have been asked before but I need all the help I can get before I start spending the money I have saved up -------------------- 2011 Spice Orange Mini Cooper

both will cost about the same. i would to do thw swap. the 5sfte is a custom project with a high failure rate. the 3s is built for turbo from the factory and has more power potential . it will probably be more realiable in the end too.
