Custom work for Everything!?, 3sgte questions and Burian Turbo Questio Options

[CaRson-Masta]

Aight people ive been thinkin bout getting the 3sgte jdm ST185 motor for my car but it seems to me that there is tones of custom work that needs to be done in order to mount it and make it work. What i really need to know is do u need parts extra (like new exhaust or an intercooler) just to run the danm thing.??

And also ive seen the Burian Turbo but it is 2,500 bucks and im wondering if thats the cheapest bang for my buck deals. Also is the Burian Turbo going to require extencive custom work by myself??

Carson read up some of the posts in this forum, there are loads on 3s swaps. The sticky's are a good place to start. Even with the burien kit you would need to get some work done to mate your downpipe to the exhaust/turbo manifold I think. That would be the quick and easy DIY answer, there is always more work to go into an engine swap.

Almost all members here who've swapped (like super and coomer for eg.) have had stupid little problems along the way they didn't plan for. If you have patience and you want to build up your car, swapping is definately the way to go.

Edit - I just noticed he has got 2 identical threads going, maybe they should be merged?
