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.

the 6gc st205 doesnt use a air to air.
it uses a water to air which is tottally badass. a 5th gen hood is more of a scoop than a vent so it will cool the top mount to a certain degree. -------------------- |
