I'm not sure what you would consider cheap, but even parts with miles aren't cheap. There's not a ton of turbo options for the 6gc. Most people end up doing the swap instead.. more bang for your buck. What is it, over 2 grand to turbo a 5sfe? Others would know better.

[6gen91]

Alot of ppl have cheap xtra parts just layin around. I'm not lookin to swap considerin idk how to yet and don't have the space to either otherwise I would love to

[pittfirefighter]

if you're on a tight budget, don't do it... its not even the parts thats going to be expensive... its the maintenance after the turbo that will get you - its expensive anyway you cut it... a wise man once said:

cheap. fast. reliable. pick two

Kid, you just don't get it, do you? You wrote a nice thread already explaining how broke you are and how this is your only car and that how we should be nice to you and all because you're just a young 18 year old kid that wants his car to be fast but has no job and has just tiny bit of money. You want by all means to turbo your car, regardless of how many people have already adviced you against doing so. It's NOT happening, guy. This is not slapping a piece of metal on the exhaust manifold and going on your merry way. You don't have money. Why are you insisting on turbocharging your car on a limited budget? You cannot play with turbo stuff without money. Stuff adds up. Stuff also breaks.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Hmmm, these guys don't get it. I'm gonna make it happen. I WILL turbocharge my car and prove them wrong that it's expensive. My case will be different and I will shut them up for doubting me". LOL. We're trying to steer you in the right direction and you just want to do your own little thing. Go ahead. Ignore us that we have spent THOUSANDS of dollars turbocharging our engines. Go spend your few hundred bucks on turbo parts.

Oh, I'm being positive. Telling the truth is positive. And BELIEVE me that I'm relax, something that you won't be when you break your engine and you don't have money to fix it. Good luck with your car, kid. I did my part here.

3sgte turbo manifold and the turbo off it for $60... sum guy around my house is selling... is it worth getting?

3sgte turbo manifold and the turbo off it for $60... sum guy around my house is selling... is it worth getting?

depends if u want ceramic shards in your intake lol

[6gen91]

watu mean. its all off a 93 3sgte mr2. hes parting the whole engine. wat other parts would i need off this engine other than the manifold and turbo?? should i get the bov the piping and intercooler and oil pan or wat other items do i need

[pittfirefighter]

depends on which gen.. and what kinda shape the turbo is in

can anyone second if that manifold will fit the 5sfe?? i cant remember if you need a 2nd or 3rd gen... oil pan for sure... recirc valve wouldn't hurt... no to intercooler stuff... how many psi you trying to run?

[6gen91]

low psi. i got 60k on my engine now n dont feel like blowing it, this car is gunna have to last me a loong time, as my parents say haha, but mab 6-8 psi if that.?

[pittfirefighter]

some guys run no intercooler under 7psi.. may save you a few bucks

[6gen91]

i dont wanna risk anything though ya no

[pittfirefighter]

the whole idea is a huge risk... adjusting the air/fuel ratios is a giant risk in its own... ask etak.. i bought his 99 cause he slapped a turbo on it and blew it up... only 85000 miles on the engine when he did it

[bloodMoney]

I've got some spare stuff if you really want to do it.

I DON'T suggest doing this if you want the car to be a reliable daily. Due to the limited budget you are running off of, I don't think that you are going to be able to properly tune the car to be reliable for a DD.

If you are completely set on this, I've got a spare exhaust mani, blown turbo(needs new seals $200), oil and water lines and an OEM downpipe that I can sell you for $150. I'll be in town for the weekend starting tomorrow, so if you are serious, PM me and we can work something out.

[6gen91]

this guy that has a 93 mr2. hes got a manifold,turbo, all the intercooler piping with bov and the oil pan with block. he said he would sell the manifold and turbo for 60, the intercooler and piping for 50 and the oil pan and block for 40. hes just trying to get everything out of his garage. everything has roughly 105k on it, which im not sure is good or not thats y im asking. the turbo has no chipped fins at all, but minimal shaft play which im sure i can fix.
