I have a stock 3rd gen 3sgte from a 96 jdm gt4 in my car and I'm thinking New cams, valves, head gasket, head studs, valve springs, and a port and polish. My car is a daily driver, so i don't want the reliability to got to s***. I also don't know if the power gain would be worth the money.

Its just like any other car in the world, add power loose some longevity of the engine. I think over all it would be a great that, besides the alltrac's and MR2's, there isnt that many Celi owners modding the 3sgte, I am considering a Stage 3 port job on my head wich would be interesting.

DTE [right][snapback]264092[/snapback][/right] your going to do a stage 3 on your 7afe head no offence but thats a big waste of money as for the 3sgte you should get some good extra ponies out of all those mods you will really see them more if you upgrade your turbo system -------------------- yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
