How much would I be looking at realistically to do this swap??? I know I can get a 225hp genII motor for about $1500 with wiring harness, tranny, and ECU included. I could probably pull off the engine swap myself as I did a stock for stock swap in my old 89 celica, but I'd probably just pony up the $1300 to Phoenix Performance and have him do everything and get the FMIC too.
So, realistically, just to get a running stock 3S-GTE into the car and driving, would it be far fetched to say that it's doable for under $3000???? I'm not even going to get into modifications at this point. Just don't want (me) to go there.  Least not yet.

O i see...but why did toyota make it that way if they knew that it is not the most efficient thing to do for the 6gc?

Probably because it was the quickest, easiest, and most cost effective way to get an intercooler on the motor. -------------------- |
