I've been debating on engine swaps and I have some questions. How reliable would a swapped car be? What swap would be the best for a daily diver?

having driven all 3, 5S-FE with turbo, 3S-GTE and V6. i can say that all of them have their strengths. turboing the 5S-FE was simple and reliable. I had my issues though, i was using the AEM FIC and it was constantly fighting with the ECU. if my ECU was ODBI it might not have been that bad.
I love my V6 swap and im very happy i did it. It was a fun learning experience and its performance it top notch. Gas mileage isn't so good but that's because i drive the piss out of it. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
