Re: mk3 :)
honestly really appreciate alll the replies ! so many options now ! hmm this 2zz is interesting ! so its basicly like dropping a civic type r engine in then on the basis tht its around 200 bhp n/a and revs like mad ! ? sounds good to me
heres the 2 big quiestions !
1 all in realisticly how much am i looking at to kit my car out with a 2zz fitted and everything?.
2 what about turbo on my standard engine that also fitted and everything ?
getting excited now feels like xmas when iw as a kid

Re: mk3 :)
I'd say about 2-3grand for either but a turbo has more long term maintenance required.

Re: mk3 :)
If you can do the work yourself your looking at 2k.
Rough idea of what i paid
engine + box = £1480
ECU - £100
MANIFOLD £250
Oil dipstick + passenger side engine mount £70
fluids £100
Can't remember what else atm.
Custom induction kit £80.
Personally if you did it yourself I would buy a power fc for it. Read the first page im sure i wrote this already or i did to another post.

Re: mk3 :)
Umm I love it, but best advice I can give is try and get a go in one, give Rogue a call see if tey have one you could trial then get them to do the swap if you don't feel confident. They did both my turbo swap and 2zz swap .

I'd go 3SGTE in a Mk3, would be unreal! Loads of tuning potential too, not that you'd need to increase performance as such!

Re: mk3 :)
Get yourself a markiii filter, I have heard they make quite the difference.
Then if you want to go further; ask wabbitkilla what he has done with his
