Easiest/cheapest way to turbo

Ku-sama · 04-12-2008, 12:45 AM

say I bought a salvage car that has a 3SGTE and I want to use the donor parts without swapping the engine, what would all be needed to turbo my 5S?

you have everything you need, why on earth wouldnt you swap the engine?

because I want to wait until the 5SFE blows up

That doesn't make a great deal of sense. Just do the turbo swap then sell off the running 5sfe to recoup some of your expenses. Depending on how well the motor is/was maintained you might be waiting for quite a while.

Rebuild your 3sgte engine. When you're 75% complete with the rebuild, drain half of your oil out of your 5s and go take to the track. Two problems solved.....rebuilt engine and a blown 5s. Oh and call AAA.
