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.

i got my clip from ebay.

my clip buying advice:

check their ebay feedback feedback if buying from ebay

ask for compression test results and maybe a video or pics from the test

sometimes you can even get a video of the clip running, etc.

make sure your seller offers some type of warrenty

use a credit card when you buy the clip so that if any problem comes up you can dispute the charges

get the shipping quote in writing because trucking co (roadway) like to change the price on you when the clip shows up at your door.
