Considering a Swap, Few Questions (Swappers Help Please) Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I'm finally considering a swap. I'm a lot more interested in rally and autoX racing than drag. If I do the swap, I'd like to do the AWD set up some time in the future, but not right away. One of my questions is, can I have a 3sgte with a reliable 300hp? Another is, were can I get a good clip? Third is, do I have to get parts from the dealer everytime something breaks, or would it be okay for me use mr2 parts on a JDM 3sgte. Thanks for the input everyone.

EDIT: Just to clear a little bit up. I know what it's going to detail to do the awd set up. I've been a member for a good bit and I've done a fare amount of research. I'm also most likely going with stand-alone engine management, but this might not be right away. The questions that I've asked aren't talked about very much, or at all. I could be wrong on that though, it might be that I'm just not searching correctly.

on a healty 3sgte you could make 300-400hp with the proper turbo fuel and tuning upgrades without having to upgrade any internals. there is one member of mr2oc making close to 400hp on his unopened 3sgte with 200,000 miles on the clock.

read this link.... it will give you a basic path on how to take a 3sgte to the next level.
