RE: RWD 3rd gen
 

v8 rwd is possible if you have the money- Which then you'd be paying 3x the value of your car for parts- and another 2x the value for labor. Then you'd be looking at about a quarter ov the year downtime while its being worked on.

omg i want to do it and at the same time i rather do 3sgte and drop an LS1 in my 240SX

RE: RWD 3rd gen
 

Id have to agree. Its alot of work im sure it can be done. Afterall anything is possible. Your looking at alot of work / downtime . Not to mention youll need the ecu from the tundra motor, injectors if the block you find doesnt already have them. Probably a switcharoo with fuel pump. Alot of customized parts. Driveshaft will be to long im assuming. The rearend from a tundra would probably be to wide. Your best bet would be to buy a new 2.2 chrome it out have the guts switched or even had some kind of forced induction . Unless you have alot of time and money and plan on keeping the car as a hobby. Id say its almost worthless to go that route.

i don't wanna spend $10,000
 

i made up my mind but i need and opinion V6? or MR2 swap?:D their both sweet plus i wanna keep the 20's on and do a big brake setup soon

get the 3sgte. its already built for and with a turbo- that way you'll have a close chance ov hitting 300s.

RE: i don't wanna spend $10,000
 

Sense your gonna go extreme 3sgte would be a good way to go. Shouldnt be to hard to do and im sure someone on the net has done it before so you might find some good feedback. Personally a 2jz rwd would be what i perfer. Atleast youll get the extra bang for your buck so to speak. Probably alot more work and downtime. Afterall thats what you want right? I wouldnt waste anytime on a toyota motor with a turbo. Go straight for a truck with a turbo diesel. Alot more fun[:@].

hmm can any one post pics or a pic if they have done the 3STGE and dont give me that one two toned camry thats orange i want an actual pic of the swap before and after and could it work with a auto tranny? i know how 2 drive stick but i dont want to burn up tiresunmistakinlyas im trying to take off from the stop light and adding the clutch pedal because i heard its complicated to when converting auto to stick and some one please post up step by step pics no text just pictures of that conversion because at the same time manual would be neat for example if my battery dies? so ya HELP ME OUT GUYS IM GATHERING UP THE CASH AS IM WRITING THIS DOWN!!!!!!
