Well, since winter is starting and I am not planing on doing anything to my celi cuz its a 1.8L Auto and its mainly a SoundQuality car now. Well now I am planing on saving up money for my next project, by next summer I'll probably have around 6-8G's to spend on it. So here are two choises that I have to make.
I wanna run the car all year round so it will be like my daily driver. I live in NY. 1) MR2 91-94 and swap 3SGTE into it. 2) 240SX 91-94 and swap SR20DET into it. Tell me what you think, i am pretty sure you will say to go with Toyota cuz of celica and all. Thank you -------------------- <<AKA THA RUSSIAN>>

im not sure if its true or not, but i remember people saying a besic bpu 3s swap in a celica was faster then a basic sr20 swap in a 240. a jdm swaped bpu mr2 would probably kill it since those run a mid 13sec with not much done to them.
we used to have this running joke at meets, because every nissan we ever saw was swaped. i kept trying to find one that DIDNT have an sr20 in it. took a while before i ran into one... lol so yeah, its a VERY common swap. another thing is, every time i see that motor in a car, it alwasy looks like a crappy, dirty motor that somehow makes power. ive yet to see one that was well done and well maintained. besides all the negatives, i do like the body style of the newer (95+ ?) 240s. thats probably the one i would get if i was planning a swap. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
