Sup Em. That's Phil Auldridge, but the manual is for a GE to a GTE. I've been thinking about yanking the 1UZ for a GTE also, you'd need things like the mounts, harness, and AC lines, and some other peripherals, but otherwise the swap would be pretty much the same, but obviously easier if we were starting with a 2JZ. What does Marcus say?

Hi,
He's away on biz again But I called him lastnite to talk about it.
I'll have to remind him that he did say "It's do-able" and to "Go for it", Since it was 1am my time and he's on the east coast right now

Well, i'd love to see you guys do it, i'm torn between doing the GTE swap into the SC4 or just picking up an SC3 and turbo'ing the GE. PF told me they'd be willing to do it, and they have a GTE in stock, it would be $12,000 +

P.S. - where on the East Coast is Marcus right now, near me in NY?

He was in Florida and then Atlanta,Ga and should be returning home this weekend.

I wonder if he'll notice all of the extra nitrous bottles are empty when he gets back

Thanks for the link

I'm looking through the classifieds now for an SC300 to turbo.
