Question:
How hard is it to have maintenance done on an JDM engine (3sgte for example...) It would be shop kept, so they'd be the ones dealing with it. (please no one come back and say i should do the maintenance...that is out of question...) So anyway, the main question i'm getting at is are the guys going to open the hood and go "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have no clue how to service this in anyway...??"....or are they going to be able to service it like normal (or as close to normal as possible)? Thanks for your time and advice!  ~snap -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

unless you go to a really bad shop, you should be fine, just let them know you did the swap.
the only time youll have trouble is autozone, because they will say "what year of car" and youll say 94 or whatever, then theyll ask what type, toyota celica, then your like, but i have a different motor, and theyll still wanna sell you the 5sfe plugs, and your just like NO I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON! this happened to my friend and his old thunderbird with a 460 in it. |
