Well to start my head gaskets finally decided to go on me. Not to mention I'm going to need a timing belt soon and my clutch is slipping, soooooooo rather then dish out the money to fix a 2.5 I figured I just go ahead and pickup a turbo'd engine:

Who can help me with a swap and if at all possible, has a place that I can leave the car(preferrably a garage) until its finished? I know this is a lot to ask, but since i live in a condo I would have to complete it in 1 day and that sure as hell ain't happening? As Frank the Tank once said, "Who's with me??!?!?"

That motor won't fit in the LHD car bud, sorry to break it to you. I might be able to put you in contact with another motorset for a similar price, let me make a couple calls today and I'll PM you.

Did you ever call martin over at virginia import performance?

From what the dudes on Nasioc were telling me, it would fit, but only with a single turbo. Which motor were you referring to that you might be able to hook me up with?

I could either find you USDM stuff or maybe JDM stuff, depending on what you would want.

The trouble you will go to to switch that engine over to a single turbo setup will not be worth it in the long run. You'll have to replace too much to go to a single turbo, you might as well just buy a single turbo motor and trans from the beginning.

What are you looking for exactly? How much do you want to swap?

Honestly I could careless if it was USDM or JDM, but in the long run I'm looking to get around 350-375 hp after the engine has been tuned. As far as what I'm looking to swap, I want to do the engine/trans and differentials if necessary. I realize that with any swap the harness is pretty much going to have to be swapped as well. What sort of prices can your boy get?
