Its clear that youve done no research whatsoever, which is a shame. A 3sgte swap would be easier than putting a turbo on your 5s. You dont just "slap" turbos on a car and hope for the best.

If you take everything into consideration in turboing your 5sfe...like the piggyback unit or EMS, someone to tune it, bigger injectors, oil feed for the turbo and the risks of oil starvation burning up the bearings, running new water piping to the turbo, and whatever else..then you would probably be better off just getting your friends 3sgte and dropping it in the celica. motor mounts line up, transmission bolts in, you just need the celica clutch disk sandwiched between the mr2 pressure plate and flywheel. You need your front engine mount bracket inside of the timing belt, and an electric power steering pump, unless you use your celica one and get an alternator bracket from an alltrac 3sgte (mr2 alternator mounts where the celica p/s pump is), and I believe you need a crank pulley too for the alternator/power steering pump changeover, then it's just mounting a FMIC and running the piping. I believe it to be easier than the 5sfe turbo and it would be quicker. The only downside is how you'll need to use some parts from your 5sfe so you would have trouble selling the engine if that's what you want to do, unless you're keeping or junking it. I used a lot of parts from my 5sfe during the swap, but my parts went onto a Gen III 3sgte, not the Gen II that it sounds like you are getting. I can't imagine them being different, but you never know. Hopefully this helps This post has been edited by match220: Oct 19, 2011 - 9:16 PM -------------------- -Jay
