[QUOTE="adian, post: 4398285, member: 690"] I'm currently overhauling my 3SGE engine, working on it myself. It's a bitch. Lotsa of hoses and pipes and tubes. And it's not cheap, as the replacement parts as quite expensive. FYI the engine mounts are 10 years old and brittle and completely broke up when I took out the engine. Replacement engine mounts are Rm 350 or so each (But I got TRD ones for RM 550 each fark). Piston rings Rm 180. Top overhaul gasket set Rm 350. From your posts it seems less about a question of overhauling, but simply that if you get yourself an Altezza you want to modify and upgrade it's power. Toyotas are well-known for bulletproof build quality back from the 70s, and still exists today. Toyotas are the best cars in the world. TQM, the Toyota Way, etc. My engine is 220,000kms and I do about 8 track days a year, on top of lots of hard driving and 2 hrs sprints to JB. When I took it apart, it was at about 95%, still fantastic, considering the mileage and hardlife. As for SAFC la E-manage la etc they're all different means of altering the stock factory fuelling and ignition maps. An SAFC is more or less as good as any other comparative piggy-back fuel management system. The differences lie in the interpolation and mapping points. For your simple requirements, SAFC with an ITC or any other piggyback should be good enough. Or just get the car first, and drive it, and see how. Have you thought about suspension and brakes?
