ok, so im 99% sure that my engine is gone, and wanted to see what options where out there for a replacement. Even though, id prefer to stay NA, if a turbo conversion proves to be a better choice(cheaper, faster, more reliable than NA porting, quieter(lol), and required less down time) i might spring for one. I just wanted to see if there was any other importers other than FC3S.org and corksport.com.

Thanks

LMFAO!!!! less down time HAHA!!! Well if this tells you anything it only took me a couple of weeks to actually get the engine(FC3S.org...great guys) and get it ready. But all the other **** needed has taken about 4 mos. to get. Getting the engine was the easiest part, Thanks Dave.



Hint: The most IMPORTANT things to have BEFORE!! you get your engine are: engine harness, MAF sensor, turbo ecu, FMIC or T2 hood.



You can always work around the tranny/ driveline issue temporarily i.e. switch flywheels, but if you don't have those other items, you're screwed!



2nd Hint: DON'T GO TO RISING SUN USED PARTS TO GET YOUR STUFF UNLESS YOU PLAN ON WAITING A LONG LONG LONG TIME!!!



BTW hope u have some friends at salvage yards or mazda, cus my conversion cost me upwards of three grand!!
