turbos are extra parts. more stuff to go wrong..
cost of a v6 is lower. period. they can be gotten locally... i paid 400 for my v6 + e53. then another 450 for my LSD. then maybe another 200 for axles. 100 for shift cables and mounts. if i didnt want LSD it would be 400 + 80 for axles +100 mounts and shift cables. so motor set for... 600, and misc parts 1000-2000 total v6 swap w/o lsd 1600-2600...... the cost of getting a 3s imported alone. total v6 w/ lsd 2000-3000 total v6 w/ s54 1400-2400 and add 500 for a wiring harness if you dont want to do it yourself so anywhere between 1400 and 3000 BUT as stated youre basically on your own.. little info compared to the 3s swap. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
