I know most guys on here put in a 3rd gen 3s. I was thinking about putting on a 86-89 3sgte with a front mount and a boost controller and running like 12psi. And just hving that as a daily. Wondering what you guys think, and maybe could give me good trustworthy websites that have them I found one for 975$ shipped to my door.
I honestly just like the sound of the BOV. That's all I want. And maybe 220hp or something isn't really much to ask for. But I've heard good and bad things from tiger Japanese so I'm skeptical about it. And I want to make sure I have ecu and wiring ext. This post has been edited by JuMPiiN: Jun 8, 2010 - 5:12 PM |

If you think swapping in a gen 1 3s is cheap PM my buddy Zgear. We are doing a 1st gen swap, and hes spent well over 3 grand by now. And the engines not even in yet. And the BOV noise wears out FAST!!!! don't be a ricer man. besides the with the AFM the 3s runs like dooky when its vented.
