Wassup all...

Well i just recently bought my car, all stock and wanted to drop a turbo in it. I'm not sure what kind of engine it is though? anyone know. i got a 94 hatch Gt (or gts not sure) but I was wondering how much am i looking at. I stay broke cuz i just bought my car and tuition went up... So around how much and what engine i got... Oh yeah my car is 5sp too

GT = 5sfe same as "GT-S"
ST = 7afe

presure2 is the man to ask.

depends who installs it? You or a shop? a local shop was wanting 1k for install...just to give you an idea...pm someone who has turboed, and they can tell you what they spent...and the search key is always helpful

...and btw, how many miles does your engine have? <<if it has a lot, you can end up blowing things...which is not a good idea

read the sticky and pressure2s guide if your really serious about turboing your 5sfe, and no those will not work. the first link is a total waste of money, and the bottom link is nowhere near complete.

you really need to read the sticky and get an list of wat is exactly needed

all the ebay kits that people have used are missing bits and pieces although they could be a potentially good start

read up on the sticky learn what you need exactly then source then parts
