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.

well to put it this way i belive the limit on the actual 2nd gen block is around 700...an mr2 dude on the mr2oc or something website did 580hp out of his 2nd gen...reliability should depend on what you parts you are using....if u are pusing the stock turbo to 15psi your gonna wear out the turbo alot quicker...if you are using stock pistons and rods and youre doin over 400hp at 25-30psi there goes your reliability....if you rebuild the engine with the right parts you could easily have reliabilty and insane horsepower
