ok I got a 1990 toyota celica gts. got the 3sgte head on it. got the intake of the 3sgte wiring harness, computer, and turbo. beside having everthing but the actual 3sgte block because I want the .2 extra, what should I do to the 5sfe block before I assemble it all together.

1. tap the block for the oil sending for turbo.
2. tap the oil pan for the oil return from turbo.
Go the the MR2 msg. board. (http://www.board.mr2faq.com)
there is a lot more info there.

I dump the project. Had everything together. Moter tuned out first day of running in the street the bottom end took a dump on me. What a waste of time. So I'm going to order the 3sgte front clip. anybody have a drive shaft and diff. for the rear. Can I use my rear hubs.

so your 5SFE died?
if you wanted to just turbo it without a swap, the turbo parts off an alltrac or mr2 will fit. i'm in the process of helping a friend do this.
but, since your motor died, the mr2 clip is really all need for the swap. the engine harness will need to be extended, you'll need the inner axles from an mr2, and the outer halves from an alltrac. you'll then need to address the issue of the intercooler. other than that, a clip will give you most of what u need.
as for the drivetrain, you will be using the mr2 tranny. you won't need and can't use a driveshaft or rear diff without spending wayyyyyy too much money.
good luck.
