when ?

thanks for the responses, @Mi645 which resistor are you referring too? the one for the blower? also ill check the a/c with the gauges and see what psi its reading. its funny because on my swap i used the jdm harness and on my buddy's ride i use the 5s harness and his a/c works like a champ but i left his original compressor and i never discharged it. i will do these checks and ill let you guys knows what happens thanks again.

well before i swapped my 3s my a/c was working nice but the compressor was making noise, so naturally when i swapped i used the jdm compressor and ever since then i charged the system and now only works when the car is cold or when i'm on the highway. on stop and go it stops working have any of you guys experience this? the only thing I'm guessing that the compressor that i'm using might be for r12 and my car uses 134 since it's a 99.

Yes that's what I ended up doing

you would have to see if the rotor is not to big, in my case the caliper mounting points wouldn't allow to use a bigger rotor with out making a bracket to extend the caliper and mounting it.

I am running 97 4runner calipers, first of all they were PITA to install, but i spent a total 200 bucks on the parts on it. first of all the bolt holes on the calipers almost line up perfectly. I still had to tap my hubs like the gt4 hubs, and drill my calipers bolt holes to accept the bigger bolts. the pain in the ass part was i had to machine the calipers to b able to use my gt rotors. i basically lined up the caliper to the rotor and measured how much i had to trim of the mounting points. once i figured that part out, i found that the 4runner caliper rotors are thinner than the gt ones so what i did instead of thinning out the life of the rotor i trimmed the inner part of the caliper until the rotor fit in perfect inside. once that was done my rim was hitting the caliper so i used my wheel spacer and then it cleared. i also had to make steel braided lines and it worked. the only down fall about this swap, is that these calipers are really heavy and i can feel the weight in the front. but other than that they stop way better than the gt brakes.

that guy never finished that 4runner caliper swap, he ended up doing the gt4 swap, that's why i posted this one, and before i mess up the calipers by grinding them i wanted to know if anyone had successfully accomplished this swap.

I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully mounted these calipers, i read it on one of the threads but i didn't find out if they finished it. i bought a set of calipers and lined them to my knuckle but the bolt holes don't line up 100% it looks like i would have to drill the hole a bit more and thread the knuckle. aside from that the 4runner calipers wont accept a rotor over 21mm according to the specs. i want to know if any one actually mounted those on a 6thgen or it's just speculation. i have already tried a vw rotor but no dice. i'm going to try a 04 sti rotor which is 5/100 and it looks it will sit the rotor further back in and might work with the caliper. i want to know if it's necessary to trim the caliper mounting points.

you don't need a intake box, im runing a short ram intake

I have done two 3sge non beams swaps, one of them i used the 3sge harness and the other i used the 5sfe harness.
first off, If you have the complete 3s harness then everything is basically plug and play. the things i had to do was remove the the plastics that cover the harness in the rear section of the harness and then it frees up some extra length which allows you to reach the the ecu plugs. aside from that i extended the ignitter and coil wires to reach the fire wall. and i also extended the intake sensor that goes into the air box. also there's one wire that is missing from the engine bay fuse box which i believe its for the airbag, it's up too you if you run this wire. this method is way easier than cutting the harness and extending it. and lastly since my car was an auto i had to jump the wire from the neutral safety switch so my car would start and wire in the reverse switch. other than that everything is plug and play.

The second swap i did i used the original 5s harness because the 3s harness had the fuse box wires cut off, and the dash plugs cut off. So i compared the 3sge harness and its basically the same lay out. first of all i sourced the ecu plugs form a s/c previa, it has the same plugs as the 3s. then i re-pinned the ecu wires to match the 3s diagram. now since this car was a federal car the injectors are wired a bit differently than a cali car. i basically had to to wire two injectors to the ecu plugs. for the reason that the 5s injectors share wiring signals. then i wired the acis solenoid to the ecu, i also wired in the 02 sensor. i used the two wires from the 5s 02 sensors and added one wire in. after that i laid out the harness on the engine and i had to make sure the plugs reached the throttle body and the sensors that go on the water neck. and also i had to re-pin the dizzy wires, there in different location. Basically all the plugs that go to the engine are the same as the 3s, after doing both swaps i preferred using the 5s harness due to the fact that the car with the 5s harness idles smoother than my car which is using the 3s harness.
over all since i have wired hondas, 2jz's, sr's this swap would have been easier if i had better wiring diagrams. but that my 2cents.

yeah that's what i was researching too, the 04 sti is really close to the gt specs but just larger in diameter, i was going to trim it down with my brake lathe. let me know how it works out. i still need to buy a set of calipers before i buy the rotor to play with.

bump, or trade for parts

bump!!!!!!! make an offer

im selling a complete 1mz motor, was runing but needs head gasket, did a leak down test and two cylinders have a leak. im asking for 400 as a real good core was thinking of building it but decided not to.

the caliper pushes the rotor out, ill try and get better pics this weekend. i also tried the front but it doesn't bolt on. i would need to make a bracket to bolt them on. ill keep you guys posted on the progress.

Was test fitting my friends evo calipers on my car and low and behold they bolt on!!!! The only obstacle looks like the offset with how the rotor sits with caliper. I'll try and see which rotors might work.

you can use your 3s harness, i did a swap for my friend using a 3rd gen 3sge non beams with his original 5sfe harness, i had to wire up two injectors, re-pin the dizzy, and re-pin the ecu plugs to run the ge ecu. and extended some of the tb plugs and wire in the acis solenoid. it's not as easy as wiring a honda but it's very doable.

can you send pics of the motor?

there should be a number on the bottom piston skirt what that # ? depending on the compression i might be interested

you have the head out already? have you tried re-threading it already?

how much for the door panels?
