I know that there is heaps of help about putting in a 3T-GTE in a TA22, but i was just wondering if anyone has had a mechanic put it in and how much and how long it took? I just went to the mechanic and he said that it might cost me around $2000 to drop it in and connect it all up and everything.
If anyone knows of anyone in Brisbane that installs engines and stuff that will cost less then $2000 could you please let me know. The engine comes with the gearbox, computer, mounts, wiring and everything basically.
Also, would my current 2 1/4" exhaust in any way be able to connect up to a 3" dump pipe? Or would you suggest on getting my exhaust system upgraded to a 2 1/2" or 3" system?
And again, will the standard TA22 diff hold the 3T-GTE engine, it dosn't have the standard turbo it has a Garatt T28 turbo on it.
I was all excited about getting the new engine put in and now i find out that it'll cost too bloody much!!
