Sup members?
I wanted to get my thread going even though I can't post pictures right this moment, but I figurerd I'd lay down a small story at least. The story goes, I recently threw a bucket shim in the head in my 2nd gen 3sgte motor about 3 weeks ago, soon after that, I decided, that was the sign to end the current project and start a new one like I've been wanting to do for a while now. I then came across Pipes and his GT4 clone shell for sale. So, I picked up the shell and now I begin my new journey  I'm not sure what my goals are for the car but I will keep this thread alive with thoughts and questions for sure! I can't wait to get your input and for you to see my output. Gosh I am excited!!! Stay tuned! This post has been edited by FWD-3SGTE: Jul 5, 2012 - 3:12 AM |

Great info guys, thanks. Smaay, your 1mz/3mz hybrid, did you use a 3mz motor with 1mz intake? What else was swapped, fuel system? What did you do about the oddball motor mount situation? What else am I looking at for hurdles with a mz swap and how are emissions handled? Any regrets for the swap btw?
Whoa, sorry for the questions, not trying to overload you
