I don't see how a 3s is cheaper my v6 swap is looking to cost around may 1900
I found a good v6 for 550 an wiring is 400 that my new u pipe will cost 70 an im going to make my own pass side mount
im reusing the s54 an the clutch isn't that bad im sure I read somewhere the s54 flywheel can be modded to work (not 100%including sure though) the v6 doesn't have that much less power if you tune ot little with a good exhaust an intake plus you can walk intoany autoparts store an buy what you need to fix it not guess work or wait for parts to pass customs that seem well worth it to me plus you don't have to wait for the n/a v6 to spool up like a 3sgte an they can make just as much (if not more power )the as a 3s canseems worth while to me but everyone has there own opinion
