there really isint any real benefit to that motor, and like everyone said, the wiring is a total nightmare.
you have to remember that a turbo motor is totally different then an NA motor. you are not really bound to the power that toyota specs the motors at, like you are with the 7a or 5s. its really easy to make more power on any gen 3s motor you can just buy a 3rd gen 3sgte, add an MBC and a nice exhaust, and youll be well over the 260 crank hp or buy a 2nd gen motor, upgrade the turbo, add in an exhaust, and reach that same goal.

Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |
