Well i havent really posted on here lately being the really busy person i am,,......lol but i have been wrecklessely overworking myself at my job doing over time and all this due to the new project i came upon about 2 months ago. well to cut it short i had a e153 converted all trac tranny to fwd platform with a cusco lsd and well to go with it i needed an engine,..... so the guy that sold the tranny to me and also converted it told me about his mr2 and his 600+ HP 3sgte swap and well i asked him about his motor currently in the mr2 turbo (3sgte) and well i ended up buying everything i will ever need for the 3sgte to run in my car,.......and well also advice which was how he blew about 4 3sgte's and it was his first time building one up from scratch and reccomended me to, soooooo after i pulled everthing from the mr2,......i trailed it home and put it on the stand and i took it completely in pieces and well now the block is currently in the machine shop getting bored out .002 over and well i guess i took his advice and well im reaching a goal of 350 whp as a RELIABLE motor at 20 lbs of boost sooo YES i am ready to dump alot of money and btw i have a f10x haltec ems system and here are some pics of me in the gray undershirt and my friend pulling the motor apart

yeah mos definately but i want reliability with that power,............seeing around here you need to have a reliable fast car or else its just another full race vehicle not a fast ass street car and around here theres alot of top dog street daily driven high hp cars so might aswell beef out the internals but yeah i really wish i had the money for cams or custom intake manifold, that way i wouldnt need to boost too much but to a surprise i went up to paradise racing to pick up a cometic 2mm head gasket and well he gave me a deal on eagle rods i could never say no to,..............EVER!!!! so well i tore the block apart again so i can replace the stock rods with eagle h-beams and arp bolts included and well put it back together in no time and well finding the right socket to fit those damn arp head stud nuts is hard as crap because clearance in the bolt bore in the head is highly restricted and especially cuz i need a 12 point 12mm socket restricts it even more!! grrrr but this bad boy will be torqued down asap aswell as oil pan on and cam shafts on aswell but still need lower idler pulley from toyota and i can finally put it to top dead center and put the timimg belt on and need purchase of clutch from competition clutch( 6 pluck race kit) and this monster will go in the celica,..........oh yeah and now i need a custom manifold for the borgwarner t3/t4 i got from paradise aswell ( paradiseracing.com--excellent parts for toyotas ---best prices---highly recommend) and still need more money in my little piggy bank for the haltec ems (e6x)1200-1400bucks well i definatly am getting alot of great feedback from pro toyota builders and they're letting me know i will definately be hitting the goal of 350whp at about 18 lbs of boost (plan to run 24 lbs of boost at the track) well i wanna say i really want the celica to break the low 12 high 11 sec barrier with drag radials and my tranny with a cusco lsd.
