THE CAR WILL COME WITH A SPARE 3SGTE SHORTBLOCK


The car is was originaly a turbo model and the OEM motor was swapped out with the All-Trac GT4 3SGTE by a previous owner. The motor is the JDM Celica All-Trac GT4 version of the 3SGTE. The difference is in the compression (8.5:1 instead of 9.0:1 like others), the camshafts (something about the duration?), and none of the emission crap like EGR or extra sensors (Oil Level, Crank Angle). The car ran a 12.92 @ 111mph spinning in 1st and 2nd gear by a previous owner on the stock turbo @ 15psi w/ the top mount intercooler. This car beat my Evo from a roll when I had around 300whp. Factory MR2 fuel, ignition, and motors are built to hold 300+ horsepower without any upgrade. Factory injectors are 440cc and there have seen well over 400+ horsepower on bone stock blocks.

I purchased this car from a personal friend of mine with intentions to get it up and running to use as a daily driver. However, I've lost interest and do not have the time to get this car up and running. I am in need of a daily driver... the sooner the better, hence why this project is up for sale. I bought the car knowing the block is bad however, THE CAR WILL COME WITH A SPARE 3SGTE SHORTBLOCK! Clean the block, mill the head, install new headgasket, and maybe a new oil pump (optional) and this car will be back on the road.

This car was up for sale late this summer and I have a LOT of interested buyers... however, I barely had any time to show the car to people AND I had way too many flakers wasting my time. I haven't had time to do anything 'til now due to school. So now, this will be the first of my cars that will be sold.

Asking Price: $3,500 OR ANY TRADES, JUST PM ME!
I will ENTERTAIN ANY/ALL TRADES THAT ARE REASONABLE! THIS INCLUDES A CAR + MONEY ON YOUR OR MY PART!

take a look and let me know what you think. As you can tell I am in the middle of getting everything fixed and re-installed to a close jdm/oem look. I am not really interested in the trade but i think it would be a fun car all hooked back up and running? Got any idea on what a reputible shop would charge to change out the short block and get it running? Thanks..
