Import performance parts question Options

Woah - sounds like I may have gotten myself into more than what I bargained for. So you can't just swap the heads and use the same ECU, sensors, etc. Would a piggyback controller do the job?

no and no.

done right, a 5sgte (5s block, stroked 3s crank rods and pistons) and all the other bits, can be a beast.
takes alot of money, and some know how to get done properly tho.

So can I use the stock 5S crank or should I get a 3S-GTE crank and have it stroked for the 2.2 block? Also what about the distributor, intake manifold, throttle body, and exhaust manifold? Thanks for all your help.

I hope you know what you're getting into. I think ice23q, a member here with a 5sgte, has put almost $20,000 into his build. Obviously it can be done cheaper than that, but it's still going to cost at least 4 or 5 grand to get it done right.

if you're seriosu about it, look over at mr2oc.com, they'll likely have a lot more info about it than here.

Yeah - I planned on driving it the way it is right now and slowly buying all the parts as being married with 3 kids doesn't allow for alot of extar money for my "toys". I figure by this time next year I'll have all the parts and ready to tear her apart. I appreciate all the help and info.
