is it possible to supercharge a n/a mr2 or find a turbo for it, if it is please tell me where i can find these parts

Anything is possible, but boosting the 5SFE engine is not a recommended course.
It's an economy engine with a lot of spunk and a sweet power band.
It is not something that holds up well to boost.

For the price of supercharing it, you could do the 3SGTE swap and have a solid turbo motor.

rippmods has a SC kit avail for the 5SFE but its really expensive.....going with a 3SGTE swap is prolly the best route to go if u want more power....

Talk to Dave Jenny at www.paautoracing.com ... tell him I sent you.

Agreed. Im getting my swap done there in less than a month (gb5).

I never thanked you Jeff for the reference, by the way. so thanks... Dave is a great guy to deal with, very fair and trustworthy. If you hurry up pastcivicowner, you may be able to get in on this group buy.
