OK,
YES I KNOW THIS ISNT A 6GC BUT I THOUGHT ID ASK.... TO START OFF, MOST OF YALL KNOW MY CAR IS TOTALLED AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR CELICAS IN THE AREA THAT I CAN BUY, BUT HTE MORE I LOOK INTO IT, I WOULD RATHER HAVE AN MR2... So the coice for the engine is the 5sgte... mainly becaues its bigger displacement and the walls are thicker, coolant passages are routed differently but still join up, thicker passages and no weak spot between cyl head 2 and 3.... this means i can boost high, run nitrous and race gas without much worry of cracking the block! yay!

haha well im pretty much everywhere.... but ya, ill let u know, i will say that i am planning on building my engine and everyhting myself tho, i wouldnt wanna go out there and just drive the 2's( im guessing you build them or your comapny does them), the whole mr2 will be a overhaul! Exspecially b/c my mom is an interior decorator, i can get fabrics and leathers for real cheap so im allreaddy planning on going custon interior, im thinkin soft black ostrect with tan accents... as far as engine goes i gotta beast 4 syl on the brain... not really looking to buy power but build it...
maybe the 1500 pile o crap would be cood for it.... idk... i could throw my old 5s in there while i restore it and build the new beast on a stand.... or should i build the beast and wait on the car till the "right" mr2 comes by, because i really want a t top... always wanted one... im looking more towards big turbo w nitrous setup, ive had a 91 intrepid r/t which had the v6 high output magnum thats still in the chargers today, didnt dig the power... not enough... lookin more towards 600+ finishing Product if i see an opp to go more power in the 4 vyl than i will... the whole reason i choose 4 vyl is the ease of them, there simple engines, i dont like the whole v design, too complicated imo...
