I hv not done the 3SGTE swap yet, but in the summer I am purchasing a 2nd gen 3SGTE for $1550. The engine has 40,000miles and is cleaned and leak tested, w/ a warranty. I hv found a shop near me that will do the whole swap for $2000. that is kind of expensive but they will do the best job and when I get the car back it will hv bn worth it. Are u referring to swapping in a 3SGE or the 3SGTE?

Well I hv heard of the "HYBRID ENGINE" or 5SGTE. This setup is not as easy as just slapping the 3S head on the 5S bottom end. I hv heard it would just be easier to build up a 3SGTE, and if u want tremendous power to purchase a stroker kit. This will turn the 2.0 into a 2.2. The 5SFE has great low end power and some mods I hv done to help mine out are full exhaust, Nology SparkPlugs,NGK Performance Wires, and a lightened flywheel, and a Akimoto Intake. These mods allow the 5SFE to breathe better and give it power, but u can't really make this engine a powerhouse unless u turbo it, then u r going to spend some major $$.
