Personally I don't see anything wrong with building up and modifying the GE for turbo applications. It's a better bet working with an engine known to be in excellent shape than a GTE that, just like JDM engines, has god knows what wrong with it.

The few things missing from the GE block and electronics are easily addressed with time and planning. Sure, it'll cost more than swapping in a second hand GTE, but it may cost more to clean up and swap in a used GTE and all the electronics and sensors.

There are two schools of thought on this and neither is *wrong*, it's a matter of perception and sometimes outright luck.

Eh..the only reason to this is I do not have the money to do a full GTE swap.
i have enough money to do about 80% of the swap. If some of you guys dont know right now i have a rodknock on my car. So with the money I am going to get im just going to try and get a nice NA running. As of now im just trying to see whats the BEST way to spend the money getting the car running. So far im doing a auto-manual swap so far this is running me about $1,000. so there for i have about $2500 left to do what i want with the car (a new HG is a must.)
