 Upgrades?

This is my 1st post here (nervous), F#ck how do u use these smileys?
Anyway i needed 2 know if its possible 2 chuck a small turbo on a 3s-fe, i know it sounds stupid and probably isn't possible 'cos it's such a weak engine,and probably isn't worth it, but i just got extractors and exhaust done to my 88" celica, and need 2 know what to do next? i need more power!!!
If the turbo is a no goer, then how bout superchargin it, cos it be crazy if it were possible except id probably need a new bonnet to fit it in, if not then id have 2 save to get a 3s-gte, which might not be worth it 4 a fwd, but it be different.
Any suggestions would be great

how much are you looking to spend ..
you could mortgae your house and put in a 3sgte - but youd probably be better off buying a gt4 stock - or you could swap the 3sfe to a 3sge non turbo and have fun with that ..

its not overly hard to turbo the 3s-fe, i'm in the process of doing it (once i get all the parts together). take a look at this site, its for a camry, but still a 3s-fe:

he uses a T3, but you can use the ct-26 (as i am) because it bolts straight onto the manifold. if you are after big power, and want to spend lots, do the 3s-gte swap, the engine mounts should be roughly the same.

I don't know how much i'm goin to spend, cos i just spent $800 on the exhaust. At the moment i'm just leaving it, i'm just leaving my options open. But i don't know i might sell the celi, cos i want 2 get a Supra MkII and set it up for drift with a 2JZ.
I didn't know whether the 3s-fe could handle a turbo, somethin like a T28, but what about management (Microtec), intercooler, wastegate and all the other shit. It could be very pricey, but i'm sick of redlinin without a release of psssssst te te te pressure aka i need boost.
My mate just finished fittin a RB20 to his R31, and it sounds nice, even thou his still got the stock turbo on it, and another mate has a GT35R on a RB20 in his VL. F#ck its powerful, but i need it too, you know what i mean?

pity to be putting a turbo oin it after you've just paid for extractors.
personal choice would be to save up for a mkII supra, then put a 7m-gte/1jz-gte/2jz-gte in it. (no bias here of course!)

sillycar88 i am almost finished coverting my 87celi's 3sge to a 3sgte. My advice to you would be sell ur celi and get the mkII supra. If u don't love the car then don't spend lots of money on it, save ur money and buy the car u want. I love my celica, so i will spend the money that the conversion requires.

Oh I do love my celi, a lot of time has been spent into it, probably not as much as yourselfs, though this is my 1st car and i'm a student, so it's hard to find time, that's why i need the car to be quiker so i have more time, ???
i'm probably gettin carried away, and u guys might b right, but i will certainly think about it.
Maybe there's some other mods i can do? Suggestions?

Like i said i don't have much time, especially for other peoples problems, i find it easier to type u rather than you, or mods instead of modifications, i know it's only 1 (one) or more letters, but seriously is it that hard to pronounce a letter and figure it out. It's not like I'm writing a letter to the Prime Minister
I'm here to listen to suggestions 4 (for) my car, not how to solve other peoples reading habits.
Sorry I don't want to be offended or to offend, but it's a habit and its quicker, but i'll take it into consideration.

And yet you expect us to take the time to listen to your problems? That attitude really shits me.
