I never really thought of trying to get my car any faster than it is, simply because it works fine the way it is, but i've recently come into a situation that might be beneficial.
One of my coworkers has a Camry with a 5sfe that's broken. He needs a new engine. One of my other coworkers thought it would be a good idea for me and the dude who needs an engine to both pay 50% for a turbo'd engine from a MR2, then we can put that in my car, and donate my old engine to the other Camry.
First off, I don't know where to get a hold of one of those turbo'd engines, second, I don't know what extra parts I might need to bolt it in there, and third ... even though it would be cool i'm still not really sure I want to put a turbo'd engine in my car.
Would it be more cost effective to just bolt a turbo kit onto my car? Thing is, if I did run a turbo i would only want a small amount of boost so I don't risk blowing any gaskets or piston rings. I don't want any extra wear on my engine as a result of a turbo ...
So what are everyone's thoughts?
