You've got to do some research my friend. You already want to order one, yet you probbaly don't know much about the 3sgte. Its good you have a GT because the 3s will be a direct swap. The problem is, you will have a motor that will be making over 50% more power than your factory motor. Will gas mileage be better? No. If gas mileage is your concern don't do the swap. If all you want is power go for it. But do some research before you splurge all this money and regret it at the end.

well i have done a bit of research i talked to a buddy of mine about it and he said that your right it is pretty much a direct swap, but this is ganna be my project car so idc about mileage anymore, (just bought an '06 civic) but he also said something about upgrading my motor mounts which im sure is true. but thank you for your reply its much appropriated.
