> Drew I have owned both the NA and Turbo and let me tell you from experience it is a BAD idea. They break ALL the time, and parts are not cheap. They are also not very fun to work on. The piston knock he told you about is not piston knock. It’s lifter tick, almost every 3S i have seen has one. Even the VR4 is a bad idea for DD, unless you don’t mind spending your life under the hood. Bad bad bad idea. IMO.

he said its a wrist pin bearing…had a shop diagnose it

but like I said. Im thinking about picking it up for a project car and ls1/t56 swapping it.
