Does anyone know a shop located in the U.S. that builds 3sgte engines? And does good work? I have already purchased a lot of parts for the engine including cams, pistons, rods, and upgraded turbo etc. I'm a decent engine builder but I am new to the 3sgte world and frankly I'm a little scared to do it myself. if it was a muscle car... maybe. I also do not have the engine yet.. but I have a buyer for my mustang lined up to buy the engine and final parts I need. Just need the info for future reference. Thanks!

Chris K. is a builder here of high HP 3S-GTE strokers and he has absolutely zero compromise for his work. You could not pay him enough to do anything but exactly the highest quality parts/labor. I have never, ever heard of any bad things about any of his motors. His shop is called Engine Logics and it [Like ATS] is located here in Texas - Houston/Sugar Land area as opposed to ATS which is in DFW/Denton area.
Here is his website:

Last I heard he was pretty pissed at the MR2 world for whatever reason so make sure you tell him it's for a Celica and that Matt from town sent you - I'm pretty sure I'm the only local 3S Celica who's bought parts from him and he got extremely cooperative when he found out it wasn't going in a MR2. I wonder what turned him off to the MR2 scene so bad?

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

I should have known something like that was up - I'll look it up. I retract my suggestion but I will say he was very helpful and cooperative with my build [even tho I didn't use him and opted to build myself with a friend]. He really seemed receptive to the GT2 idea.
ATS has a great reputation aside from one incident with a female MR2 owner I know [Some of which I think might have been related to her poor budget]. I guess I'd have to say they seem to be the place to go.
