ok so I've done so much research for the past year mostly because i dont have the funds but within the next couple months i plan on getting my car more power somehow and I'm not sure what to do. My power goal is to get 200-250whp, I have a 5sfe stock with auto tranny and i just want a cruiser with a little kick is all and the stock 5s isnt doing it for me. Now as far as cost a beams swap is a little more pricey than just piecing together a turbo setup for the 5sfte for the 8psi i plan on running, but the beams would be more reliable considering my car has about 86000 miles on it. I just want everyones advice what they think i should do, the 5sfte would cost about 2000$ total for parts, and the beams i plan on buying a front clip from rpmgarage for about 2000 but I plan on getting both installed professionally since it is my daily and I need it to run especially being in the airforce and i travel alot. anyone have any insight to this sorry know this was kinda long

I would leave it the way it is and find another car to do a swap; If choosing one of your choices I would go with a beams swap because it'll be more reliable and if it's your daily driver you don't want the chance of blowing the motor.
Also you may want to chack out a tranny swap lol XD --------------------  Power in Balance 90 ST coupe- Sold 95 ST hatch- Dead :’( 02 Impreza RS- DD |
