Well i havent really posted on here lately being the really busy person i am,,......lol but i have been wrecklessely overworking myself at my job doing over time and all this due to the new project i came upon about 2 months ago. well to cut it short i had a e153 converted all trac tranny to fwd platform with a cusco lsd and well to go with it i needed an engine,..... so the guy that sold the tranny to me and also converted it told me about his mr2 and his 600+ HP 3sgte swap and well i asked him about his motor currently in the mr2 turbo (3sgte) and well i ended up buying everything i will ever need for the 3sgte to run in my car,.......and well also advice which was how he blew about 4 3sgte's and it was his first time building one up from scratch and reccomended me to, soooooo after i pulled everthing from the mr2,......i trailed it home and put it on the stand and i took it completely in pieces and well now the block is currently in the machine shop getting bored out .002 over and well i guess i took his advice and well im reaching a goal of 350 whp as a RELIABLE motor at 20 lbs of boost sooo YES i am ready to dump alot of money and btw i have a f10x haltec ems system and here are some pics of me in the gray undershirt and my friend pulling the motor apart

Definitely good choice on the tranny.
Good luck w/ a motor from an MR2. Make sure you get all the brackets 'n stuff form an all-trac to convert the motor to work in a front engine platform... -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon

How much did you pay for it? I want to put a 3SGTE into my 95 ST once I get some money, but don't know how much I need to save.

welllllllll soryy about that brian but i havent been on in a while and moneys been tight on this 3sgte rebuild so i am going custon exhaust manifold (well built one) so i shoudve let you know before. but as for the rebuild thanks all who have left good coments
 and well i hope i achieve my goal but i have pics of the engine put back together withought internals but just for the fun of learning my engine inside out and well the pic below ( piston's ringland is brocken off and thus the reason why the rebuild is being done) and well rebuild brings better things,................forged internals .0025 over pistons, etc soo look out im trying to get mid 12 sec pass but more importantly,........reliability!  |

I don't know why you'd find that offensive, I didn't mean it like that. Was just wondering, cuz I am Mexican. Was just curious. Keep us posted on your project bro
