Okay so i've read and read about the 3s-gte in the stickies and it sounds like an amazing motor! I was thinking that it would be nice if people could post up how their engines have been running after the swap has BEEN DONE CORRECTLY. I know most people don't know how much mileage the engine has so what things typically go wrong with it and how big of an investment is a swap in real life. (I'm saving for the swap right now so hopefully I'll join this list eventually)
THANKS FOR THE INPUT EVERYONE!!!! -------------------- Cars shouldn't be sold for money, but driving skill =P

Took me nearly 2 weeks to get all the right parts [I wanted to use only the best parts] and another week to rebuild it and get it back in the car. Rebuilding it is the easy/fast part.

Most turbo cars in the 2.0 - 2.4 families run at a minimum of $1,800 for parts/rebuild at a shop from "my experience". I had a 90 talon tsi that didn't have a motor and I wanted to rebuild the prev. engine but it would've cost me 2500 so I had one built for 5900 instead. My bud has a 95 talon tsi turbo and his rebuild was stock and cost him 2700. Another bud had a 96 GSX mitsu and his rebuild with forged pistons and polished crank was 2400. Oh yea, most of the tear down and rebuild is approx. 2-3 days at an efficient shop if you get everything you need for the 1st day. Otherwise it could possibly take up to 2 weeks as stated.
