Im starting my co-op placement in about 3 months time for a year. Its a paid co-op placement as a automotive technician. So im gonna be making around $15-$18 an hour so bringing in around $1300 a month..so im gonna start saving up for somethin to make some more power in my car. I like it the way it is, but..its just gettin kinda boring. Im either thinking of doing a 5SFTE or swappin in a 4th gen 3s. Im not sure of what i wanna do just yet. Im plannin on gettin this project started in the fall/end of the summer. What do you guys think i should do? I i did go 5SFTE i would go with a T3 or a T3/T4 turbo, custom made equal length manifold, 3" DP with matchin exhaust, bigger FMIC (stock 94 front bumper though), probably do a 4 peice hard I/C piping system, walboro pump...ur basic 5sfte setup...or i would just swap the 4th gen in, FMIC, etc..but no internals/turbo upgrade. What do you guys think i should do? I got a solid 5S in my car right now with like 50000km on it..so its still good. Ur opinion?

I like the 5sfte. If I turbo, it's what I'm doing. I've got a good motor that I know inside and out. All it needs is a little more top end. If I were to build, I would first hook up a nice engine management system. Then a good set of cams. Maybe some ITBs. I would check to see how the car worked at that point. If I needed more I would then boost it. If I boosted, I would have to have a LSD, otherwise I see it as irritating. That's just me, and I look at things from what would get me through the race track the fastest. You get a 200hp car that you take to the autoX track and race on the weekends is 10 times more fun than a 400hp stoplight car.
