5sfe turbod or 3sgte swap Options

[mycelicagt]

Hey guys im not quite sure the power output on a 5sfe with a turbo and im wondering if i should turbo my motor with 90,000 miles or if i should just put a 3sgte motor in it, if i get the 3sgte which gen should i get, ive seen that there are 4 gens but that could be wrong

Many 5stfe setups dont have the same numbers, it is all in what you want to do to it. The 5stfe is cheaper, but you wont get as much power without spending a good amount of money. Considering your engine has 90k on it, I would go with the swap. They average swap costs around $5,000 but is more powerful and will last longer than a 5stfe. Most people who swap get their engine from a ST185 clip because it is the easiest to swap with. Im not sure what generation engine is in the ST185, but it seems to give people the least trouble when they swap it.
