So today I had a good friend of mine recommend this asian guy who speicalizes in japanese engines and trannys. I went there with my 94 Celica GT so he can take a look at it and I asked him for a 4th gen 3SGTE swap. He started the work estimate and then asked me if I wanted to convert it to 4WD well I said what the hell why not. So with EVERYTHING included complete motor(4th gen 3SGTE), ecu, harness, transmission, rear 4WD conversion, labor, additional parts, and performace tuning (300HP), the whole thing came out to $6,864.50. My question is........is it worth it?

i don't see how showing us pictures of the "3 AWD 6th gens" will give away this guys shop.. it seems selfish that you are hiding this resource from us (if its legit) just because you are waiting to save up money to have him work on your car.
Don't get me wrong, but i just don't see the big picture of hiding all of this information from the community. If this guy is legit, it may have just opened the next big door for this website. I know many members here that would drive there themselves to have a proper, tried and true AWD swap performed on their celi's. And if this guy has a demand from the community he will surely import more parts to make this happen for others as well. This post has been edited by jcbass7: Nov 16, 2007 - 10:35 AM |

I think its boulll skip that he is holding information from this celica community. Why even post a thread and not answer questions. How would EvolutionOX feel if every thread he post on this community never gets answered?  --------------------  |
