I have a 5SFE engine auto tranny..... i'm trying to go to a 3sgte manual swap.
First problem! 1- I cant find an exact breakdown or at least a good one on (how to) do the swap. 2- do you guys know where i can find a pretty kewl breakdown of the wire harness conversion ( i understand its tedious) but i want to do it myself personally i don't think it would be that hard if u had a good schematic 3- answer this straight forward and not like a kid!!! ---- how good is the 5sfe Turbo compared to the 3sgte swap...is it worth it ( yea i know its a great engine but...) can i get pretty dam close with the 5sfe .. remember answer this one like an adult not telling me how its cooler cause its a better engine because thats where all the hype is...... but rather you to be honest you could do a turbo just as great.....but if it isn't nowhere near than kewl just be straight forward. Thanks Guys appreciate the feed back.we are all family here ....one.... -------------------- Always fast and going for the look......

ATS RACING uses the 5sfe block with one of there kits that makes like 700hp but i would go with the 3rd gen head and a 5sfe transmission s54 ..... but if u ask me i think it will be cheaper to just get a 3rd gen and u would get more power anddd a stronger block
