This sucks, I want a 3sgte Options

[bloodrain]

My problem is I just want to be like heres $5000, get it done. Come back 2 weeks later and pick up my celica. Obviously things dont work like that, I dont know jack sh*t when it comes to engines, I always used 2 let my friend work on my old 300zx but now he moved away. I love my car but its 2 damn slow :-( any suggestions on how to get the 3s swap done? Im tempted to ship my car to where 1 of these other guys have had there swap done and just let them do it for me.

sounds very nobel lagos, but where am i going to do this? where am i going to get the chip shipped to? where am i going to put it?

i had the same questions and problem as you. no tools, no engine lift, no garage, no place to ship a clip to, no place to put it, never worked on a car before, etc....

well where did you get tools/space/shipping location?

just started talking to people. told them that i needed to find a nice garage to rent. turned out that one of my coworkers dad had a pretty large space next to his shop. they let me stay there for 2 months and i gave him some left over clip parts for his car. .... the trucking co droped the clip off at the garage

for tools, i went to a store and bought some. you can get almost everything you need in a 100-200$ toolset.

for engine lift, i called around and found a place that rents them for about 40bucks a day. then i realized it would be cheaper to buy one. 200bucks later, i had a lift.... now i even see some lifts going for as little as 119$ at pepboys.

im probably going to be pulling out my motor again this summer to rebuild and upgrade it. i have no garage and no engine lift again and i most likely cant use the same location i did before cause somone else is renting it. so ill have to start looking all over again.... not really a big deal.
