3sge.....some of the early model produce good/decent power, are usually around 1.2k with shipping, and you can get them with the automatic transmission sometimes..... try jarcoinc.com, they might have one for sale, or maybe even ebay....anywho, good hunting bro ^_^

[LewFX]

your in the same boat i am!

1MZFE.

alright cool,what happens if u turbo the 3sge later?

[j0e_p3t]

1MZFE.

x2. or any v6. the newer ones only come in auto anyways. and a lot of people on here woudn't recommend turboing the 3sge.

but isnt alot of work and money to stick a V6 in it

[j0e_p3t]

yeah, but so is swapping in a 3s-ge/gte into an st.

people look down on it, because it would be easier to swap in a 3sgte rather than swap in a 3sge and turbo it later due to cost.....if your not looking for a turbo, then the 3sge, 4age, or even the 1mzfe , is the better way to go.....but if you want a turbo vehicle of around 2-550$ more than what you would pay for any of the engines mentioned eariler, then the already turbocharged 3sgte is the better way to go...but other than that, the only downside to turboing the 3sge, is that you would spend more to turbo it, than if you wouldve started with a 3sgte earlier.....

i want the turbo,but it seems like the only thing to do is take a auto tranny and build it to hold the power

that seems like it would be more work for you...i mean, you would also need an ecu to run the transmission on....still though, im trying to remember if there were any automatic 3sgte's that were produced..

theirs plenty of 4th gen Cardina with an auto.

^^whats that?

[Dr_Tweak]

That's "Caldina", and it comes with an AWD 6-speed automatic transmission. Although I've toyed with the idea, I really don't know if the ECU will run another auto, for example, a 4-speed 5SFE tranny, or not.

If you really want to stay auto but you want a turbo car, I would recommend putting your money into building the 5SFE you already have up and having a high-end turbo system designed and installed for it.

All you would need to do is adust the shifts to be firmer and put heavier clutch plates or bands in it. Wouldn't be that hard except finding the ports ot widen or the valves to change.

Are you positive this would handle the power of say a 3S-GTE engine , if done on the auto tranny that comes with the 5SFE ? how much would a job like this cost ?

[malpaso]

agree with Caldina 3SGTE...

[3WayStunna]

the caldina idea is good, but is it affordable within hypnotoads cash range.....if it isnt, then he should go with what tweak suggested and just turbo his 7afe.....

Ebay Caldina 3sgte
