As it stands now it looks like things are going to go through, I'm really hoping for it anyway. I have to get down there to finalize everything and work is giving me a hard time getting the time off, they don't know yet of course. So time will tell, hopefully not much time! A few weeks I'd expect.
The higher end of the labor range is what the swap will cost at the new shop, and be done a LOT faster ![]() -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

good to know, by the way - i will be attempting the swap myself - but will need your help with the wiring, so I'll email you when i'll be ready to ship it to you. Since it's still cold here in texas i'm not in any rush until it gets warmer - this will save me money for upgrades -

i have been searching for weeks and cant find anything on the FMIC for the 3sgte. all i found out was to buy a ton of bends and use a ton of clamps, which i really dont wanna do, and i found some one on here that makes them but needs a pic of the engine bay 1st to see how everything is. i really wanna order the piping and everything ASAP as my clip should be here any day. any ideas??

Also, a Gen3 (ST205) motor is about ~$700-1k more vs. a standard gen2 (ST185)... The debate whether this is worth it goes in another thread.

Yeah maybe I'll bump the price up for a stage II clutch. Some people have used the regular GT clutch and had success, but I know what you're saying.
I am planning on moving to SC, once that happens the prices will have to go up some since I won't be in control of them as much anymore. However, the swaps will be done a lot quicker so that's a big plus. For a FMIC, I will eventually be offering a FMIC upgrade kit with a bracket to clock your turbo. In the meantime, I can give you an idea of what bends you'll need. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
