I saw a 2nd gen 3sgte ('91 MR2) for sale for $300. Guy says one of the rods is knocking and the turbo and ecu are gone. If I could have it for $200-$250 you guys think it would be worth rebuilding? I don't know how bad the knock is but I assume the motor in general runs. If not part it out? I'm not looking to dump $$$ into it or anything, just maybe a nice upgrade to the Celica. Turbo isn't an issue, a rebuilt CT-26 just came up for sale for $300 OBO. ECU could be an issue, although I think I know a place that has one (they have a '93 Alltrac 3sgte for sale for $800 with 220k and a broken TB laugh.gif). Mechanically fixing it isn't a problem, money is though.

So opinions?

I'm still waiting on the guy to call me back...

Thanks for the tip Syaoran, if I do go standalone I'll keep that in mind.

But if the crank is trash, I'll def buy yours Smaay.
