I'll be doing a complete engine swap in a week or so. Just bought a jdm tt engine, tranny, ecu, harness. Basiclly everything except the intercoolers. I still tend to dissagree with just buying the parts and adding them to the dohc n/a block. After you add up all the costs and parts needed here and there plus look at that you will probly need to go with the awd tranny if you want it to be stronger. There are a lot of factors that take the total cost of a conversion high. For $2700 I got a jdm engine with everything plus a warrenty and it was from a company out of texas that looks like they have been in business a while and they look good. The shipping is going to be free and yes I am doing the 60k/120k tune up on it and I figure for at most $3500 - $4000 I will have everything in and running good on a engine that has the compression and was built for the tt's. I just think it saves ALLOT of time and money to just buy a tt engine. If you tt your engine whats the milage? Will you fully trust it? Can you really bost it? and questions like that will go through your head. I thought long and hard about this my self and was planning on doing it down the road as I drive my car as is but I was just forced to buy the engine now because of a possable spun bearing. Now if I did the tt upgrade on my engine say 1000 miles ago I would be really screwed as then I would have put all this time and money it an engine that just would not be able to handle it. Sorry for the long post and this is just my .02 cents and on some engine it has been done without no problems what so ever so you really have to think about it and see what it is worth to you. My time is far to valuable to just throw away. When I do it I want to do it right. Ok I will shut up now, lol. Like I said just my .02 cents.
