3SGTE into a 5S-FE?

[Exodeus]

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to do the swap? Or if there is another engine that would be a better idea to drop in? I know id have to adjust certain things in the car for the swap but im not entirly sure what id have to do. Also i cant find anywhere on the net that has the price let alone sells the 3SGTE. I REALLY want to get more horse power and i heard its pointless to upgrade the 5s-fe because just by swaping them it would cost less and i would get more hp. Im just wondering how much cash i would need to put into the my car to get the 3SGTE with the turbo in there. Any input would be great..thanks.

Hey .. im actually doing the same swap.. Im also not sure what else I might need. I just recently bought the 3sgte engine.. do you have any info on what else I will need?

In addition to the motor you will need:

1. Wiring harness
2. ECU
3. Hubs and axels if you're using 3sgte tranny
4. Intercooler and piping
5. Turbo brake calipers, rotors, pads and master cylinder


In addition to that are there is a bunch of miscellaneous crap that you'll need (timing belt, fuel filter, etc) that will add up to at the very least a few hundred.

It's pretty common to purchase a clip, rear half of the car, instead of just a motor 'cause then you have a lot of the stuff on hand that you'll need to install the motor into your car.
