for the 3sgte swap its like 4000 and thats if u do the wrk urself....im not plannin on spendin that much...in the end ill prolly have put at the most 1/2 that. and have the same or more power....but it would only b 2 wheel drive.

U dont think w/ mr2t pistons i can make more power than a 3s? same internals but it would b on a 2.2...idk....mayb im just wastin my time and money...but right now its all i got....and i just think it would b somethin diff. to build a 5s instead of just doin a swap. (just a matter of pesonal opinion for me) when i get done in a couple of months....plannin on christmas as my "deadline" ill let u know how its goin. |

"mr2 pistons" wont help you make more power. they wont fit. like i said, if your looking to make over 300whp on a 5s, 5-6k is a "cheap" estimate. just to get the head to flow close to what the 3s does, your looking at 2k+ in headwork, + cams. then, a built bottom end. then EMS, then tuning. thats not even talking about building a turbo kit thats capable of makeing 300whp. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
