Cost of a swap, I searched the archives... Options

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

Hey,
I know tons of people are asking about the 3s-gte swap. The only thing I didn't find was info on how much it costs to actually do the swap? I don't know enough to do it on my own, and i was just curious what it would cost to have a shop do the work.

If its already been asked, just someone tell me and i'll search some more.

Also, for those who have done it, are you satisfied with it? And does anyone know of a way to get it throguh the california smog tests, or is it pretty much move out of state?

Thanks

o i forgot to mention,  not to knock your cooler mynzeyes, but a perform shop around here who does many upgrades for supras including new FMIC said i could have the mkiii cooler for free becuase it was not very good for any serious cars goin for loads of horsepower, 300+. he said they usally just throw them away after removal. but for the 4agze it should work quite well. and for people looking into a mkiii supra cooler check ebay 75-125 dollars and you can get a nice one.

yeah dude, for my application, it's pretty nice. i'm kinda wonderin about a FMIC on a 4agze, i hear it causes some pressure loss, but, i really don't want a TMIC w/ a hood scoop, and i also don't want a water = air intercooler, cause they are expensive ass. um...but w/ the NEVO pulley kit, i'll get at least 12-13psi, and i'll be takin out quite a few people... . w00t.

and i am gonna have a few hundred on the side, just to cover various little crap i may need, like tools, or a little fastener and all that...but hopefully i can get everything knocked out w/ minimal set-backs. w00t.
