Considering a Swap, Few Questions (Swappers Help Please) Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I'm finally considering a swap. I'm a lot more interested in rally and autoX racing than drag. If I do the swap, I'd like to do the AWD set up some time in the future, but not right away. One of my questions is, can I have a 3sgte with a reliable 300hp? Another is, were can I get a good clip? Third is, do I have to get parts from the dealer everytime something breaks, or would it be okay for me use mr2 parts on a JDM 3sgte. Thanks for the input everyone.

EDIT: Just to clear a little bit up. I know what it's going to detail to do the awd set up. I've been a member for a good bit and I've done a fare amount of research. I'm also most likely going with stand-alone engine management, but this might not be right away. The questions that I've asked aren't talked about very much, or at all. I could be wrong on that though, it might be that I'm just not searching correctly.

if he goes 3rd gen his question about parts for when stuff breaks turns into a hell though
I'd stay 2nd gen if you plan on running a close checkbook
if you're going to have some back-up funds and you want more reliable power, the 3rd gen may be better

about having to upgrade the turbo to get ~300
i dont really think you have to.
w/ jdm ecu @225hp.
i'll underestimate everything...
15hp for exhaust on turbo
15hp per 3 psi...
5hp for intake instead of airbox
225+45+15+5=300
not an exact science or ANYTHING, but yea...
