I want to power-up a lil bit my car but I have an auto tranny (yes i know...get a 5-speed..) but Im at university (=save your $) so I cant afford to convert to 5speed+swap/turbo So, im looking to maybe just add turbo my auto 5sfe. Do you think that it would give me more power than just swapping to 5-speed? and if I keep auto...what would be the best turbo to choose and at what PSI (no risk of damaging the enigne)? how much HP the engine/auto tranny can handle? Also, a cost estimate with all parts for an effective turbo (ex: FMIC, etc) would be appreciated

TIA

hmmm..... building a reliable turbo kit for the 5sfe ain't cheap.... i duuno bout the tranny part...

you might want to go to celicatech.com and find a guy there named TODD . he is the only one i know with an automatic turbo 5s.

your are looking at about 1-2grand give or take .....its one of those things you cant cheap out on, you have to pay to play.

well what im thinking is that you wont have power at all..auto isnt that relieable with turbo like lagos said it will grind..

I built an auto turbo kit for a guy in hawaii a year or so ago, he is on this site, his name is komlofske, talk to him if you want to know how it runs compared to stock!

r u willing to built another one for me if I ask you sometime? how much $ and what is included in the kit (and what kind of turbo)?

Im now convinced that its a better idea to convet to 5-speed first then saving for engine swap because the 5sfe-turboing is more $$ and hassle than I though >>

anyway...I have 1 more question....is it a good idea to swap my tranny to a mr2-t one (since I must change my tranny anyway) on my 5sfe then saving for a 3rd gen 3sgte? or those tranny are no no with 5sfe and keeping with stock GT tranny?
