OK, guys so long story short just paid $600+ for a new timing belt, water pump etc. and my motor (5SFE) just went pop. So I'm looking into doing a Beams swap, but want to ask a few questions first.
1. what are my cv axle choices using Beams lsd transmission? 2. what components can be used from my 5SFE alternator, ac compressor, sensors, etc.? 3. head gasket options, been searching for one & only find valve cover gaskets? 4. Is the super strut suspension worth having? Currently on KYB struts and Tein S. Tech springs. 5. Will Tein S. Tech springs fit super strut? 6. Are super strut rear struts compatible with the ST204 rear setup, meaning is this a bolt in option or will I need new rear sway bar, end links, etc.? I'm sure I'll have more questions before I pull the trigger on this. I also thought about doing a 3rd Gen. 3SGE, but I'm now leaning toward the Beams or another option would be a 4th Gen 3SGTE. only problem with this is the weight on the front end I think would outweigh the benefit of the extra hp. IMO. Please share your thoughts. Thank you Lamont |

Alot of the info/part numbers you are looking for will be in the BEAMS sticky thread.
stock axles will suffice for the swap. If you are getting a swap, you should get a FULL swap, so there would be no need for anything from the 5SFE (wouldnt fit anyways) Why you would switch to Superstrut? --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |
