Alright guys - i dont know if you know or not but ive been waiting around for a good deal so i can purchase my celli (still without one) and once i do im going to do the 3s-gte engine swap. Now, i have heard tons of different swap figures as in how much it costs but i was curious if this sounded logical...
engine $1500 (2nd gen) shipped $300-400?? mechanic says he can put it in for around $800-1000 going to change the exhaust size to a 3inch pipe back $200 dollars new sparkplug wires plugs possibly an engine tune up.. $200 so im at 3,300 which is a lot less than a lot of people keep saying and thats being pretty generous i think on my part... What am i missing? possibly a clutch? add $400-500 any ideas?? |

well unless youre going to be cutting a hole on your hood... i think a FMIC budget should be set aside.
 a hundred + on the piping... a hundred + on IC. then i think youre good... Oh and i dont think the GT-4 hood works with the 2nd gen 3sgte... i could be wrong tho. anyway if you get a 5 speed manual GT.... and if youre mechanic doesnt throw more surprises at you... i think youre right on the ball bro! BBoY edit: oh and i forgot the most important of all... do you TRUST youre mechanic?
