Default 2zzge Swap

I'm seriously contemplating doing this. Anybody up for it? There's a guy that fabricates the parts you'll need in Dallas and there's basic instructions on the internet.

Just fix your car... Find a shop and get them to do it. It'll be cheaper than getting a swap done, and not to mention cooler becuase it's turbo.

I'm sure there are some decent shops up in nova who could fix it.

But don't you know, NA is Best. Seriously, I was just thinking a 2zzge is basically factory reliability. No cooling issues either and the 2zzge is just a better motor. I could run a Toyota ecu if I felt like it. I'd still have more power than I'd know to do with it. Guys are churning out in the 190whp range. I could sell some of my parts to displace cost.

NA is slow.... muhahaha keep the turbo, get it fixed... you'll like it better. PLEEEEASSEEEEE... ok how about I find a shop who can fix it and has a good reputation? Further you can use my car trailer to tow it to the shop so no expensive tow bill.
