because not everyone knows how to weld and rewire a car. not to mention that to do any swap correctly takes time. never said it was a walk in the park, my mr2 has about a year and 700+hour of work into it right now. but between school and the rest of my life, i don't have nearly enough time to work on the car and do what i want to it.

uhm ... do you have any IDEA how many people are going the GEN III swap and those clips are over $2K????
Check out the MR2 Warehouse. I believe they have done over 2 dozen swaps this year, just in PA/NJ/NY. There are lots of people doing swaps. Why do you think I said I could show you at least 10 succesful swaps for every one turboed stock 5sfe you could find?

Not a walk in the park at all ... and I do not really recommend it.
It is so much easier to just buy a turbo mr2 to begin with.

.... if it doesn't blow up ... then it becomes significantly more expensive.

You can put a 3s-gte head on but its better just to put the whole motor in
