kewl truck man. I did the starion swap in mine and I luv it. I wasnt planning on going that route but the parts kinda came my way and thats the way it all fell into place. If I had to do it all over I would go with the eclipse 4g63 instead. There is so much more aftermarket support and cheaper used parts available. When u want to upgade turbo, fuel, and management its so much easier. Do what u want. Just thought I would share. Keep it comin along.

starquestclub.com is full of lots of good info and links.

After some research Im thinking a 6mgte out of a supra would be sweet. 4g63t is also nice but you still have to spend 500 bux on a bell housing to use a supra trranny cuz it will handle 600 hp. with out exploding. Been doing alot of research last few weeks. Lemme know what ya think.
