2nd gen MR2 3s BOV and piping question Options

[Valo666]

So i went out 3s hunting today and i found a place that has a 2nd gen 3s out of an altrac and out of a MR2. Im thinkin of gettin the mr2 one cuz it comes with every thing and an uncut harness. The main thing i noticed about it was that since it doesnt have a top mount intercooler it has this pipe that goes across the block after the turbo. It has a lil flange right above the turbo. The guy at the shop said its a perfect place to put a BOV. So my question is, can i put a BOV there? and second question is, can i use this pipe with the all the other piping for the intercooler? or would i have to replace it??.

Best pics i could find of the pipe im talkin about...



Also for piping. I got quoted from JRP (yea im still dealin with them, dont ask why) for piping. At somepoint i got a list of piping sizes and bends and every thing. The pipes i got listed were 8 90 degree pipes, 1 45 degree and 1 180 degree. For the 90 degree pipes they want $40 a pop, and the 45s they want $68 a pop and they dont carry 180s. Is this 2 much for 2 inch aluminum pipes? Im thinkin of goin 2 an exhaut shop soon and asking them for pricing.

whats the deal with everyone trying to buy an mr2 clip ?

Its the tranny Art. I know that you don't believe thats a big issue but I am a firm believer that if you can address the issues with the wiring, mounts and alternator location, getting the MR2 tranny is worthwhile - especially if you plan on modding the 3s after you get it.

oh yeah, no doubt that tranny is worth having. problem is, that its a lot harder to put that motor into your celica if its your 1st swap. so if you know what you are doing, then sure get it...but if its your 1st swap, get the celica clip.


edit: lol, jay... i need to put that in my sig! hahaha
