So I finally found a tuner shop..relatively close to where I live, willing to do my 3SGTE swap. It's owned by a guy whose son I played football with...so atleast I know 'em. He has a white supra that's dynoed at 735hp. That's better than sex..well..almost. I'm printing off some information about the swap and taking it to him tommorow so he can quote me a price. I Next week Im taking out a loan and buying parts like craaaazy.
I'm concerned about traction issues to..should I go ahead and get an extra grand (I'm planning on 5k for the swap) for some wheels to get the power down? If this all goes good..I'll have the only swapped 6th gen celica in East Tennessee. Wooo yah. |

For just the labor? I was thinking around 4 for all necessary parts and maybe a 1500 for labor? well, youll have to talk to the shop and see how much they want, but it all adds up quickly. you'll need a new clutch, replace every rubber gasket you can think of, misc tune up parts, fmic, exhaust work, gauges, etc... 4-5grand is a great mount to have when you are doing the work on your own, but most people that ive seen go to a shop spend around 7grand when all is said and done.
