Why 5S-GTE instead of 3S-GTE? It seems like in your situation the 3S-GTE would be cheaper and easier and stronger.

I'm pretty sure he means 5SFTE. He just said that he wanted "suggestions from peple who have turboed the 5s".

So you're wanting to use the 3sgte head in your 5sfe? That would be cool to see.

i had that idea as well, you would get the power of the GE head with a bigger displacement. 2.2L instead of 2.0L

But you'd have to buy two engines, and you'd have a weaker bottom end, and you'd have a lot more work to do than just a normal 3S-GTE swap.

Right...but would it be less of a wiring and computer job to keep the 5s instead of swappin 3s?

Not really actually. Lots of wiring is associated with the 3S-GTE head and ECU(Which you'd want to use I'm pretty sure), so putting the 3S-GTE head on the 5S-FE and using the 3S-GTE ECU would require substantial wiring changes.
