6G Celicas Forums

I'm in the military so I get access to some pretty nice auto shop facilities to work on my car. Today I was in a stall next to a guy that had swapped a prelude engine into a civic. Custom header, turbo, intercooler, the works. It was putting out some ridiculous amount of horsepower... Anyways, it looks to me like he has to put a lot of work into it to keep it running. He was talking about all the parts he'd blown on it (of course, he said he's running 24 pounds of boost!!!!). My question is do you guys with the 3SGTE have to do a lot to keep it running good? If I were to go through with this after getting to cali, that'd be the last thing I'd want to deal with once I finally got through with the swap. Also, were you able to keep things like the cruise control and a/c running after the swap was done or did you have to sh**can those parts? Thanks!
