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

If ur buying an engine part you say the year of the engine not teh car. I've had ppl say oh you have an Alltrac or oh you have an MR2? I'm like no just the engine.
As for your dilemma, some shops wont work on your car at all if you have the wrong engine, talk to them before hand to not only get a handle on the types of ppl they are but if they understand you have a custom setup. Yes there is more maintenance on turbo engines than N/a ones as more things can break and need to be monitored. -------------------- |
