let me put it to ya this way.

3sge beams with out tranny is about 2300-2500 bucks. 197hp at the crank. almost no aftermarket support (esp. here in the states) NOT BOOST READY
3sgte 2nd gen CLIP is about 2000-2400 bucks depending on clip. 220ish hp and aftermarket support here in the states BOOST READY
3sgte 3rd gen CLIP 2200-2600 bucks depending on clip. 240ish hp and some aftermarket support. BOOST READY



so why not just go with a 2nd or 3rd gen 3sgte and build that?
beams will just be more headache than fun.
many people here on 6gc have done the 3sgte swap, lots of info on it and we are here to help answer questions that you may have.

i just cant think of anyone who has swapped the beams into their usdm car. the community may not have answers for the problems you may run into.

and that is my .02

whatever you do go with good luck and happy building smile.gif
