[Rob_t]

Hi all new to group I was told that you guys may be able help me out on here.

Well where do I begin I had recently brought my 2nd st202 import 6th gen and then the problems started. Took it to garage to be professionally fixed and after a bodged helicoil and swarf in my engine she was no more. Now being my daily I needed to get her up and running again quickly. I have three more weeks till I lose mg hire car to finish her and when the pars came up for the conversion and the seller advising me how easy it was to do I thought why not let's convert her. I will lost all the parts I have been given and any help or known problems I am going occur etc then all hell and advice will be greatly appreciated guys.

I have the following

Rev2 3sgte engine out of a jdm import
All wiring loom and sensors on engine also
The cars gearbox which I have removed as no can run on my standard st202 for now
I have the turbo and a spare
Two different sized intercoolers also bit stuck there ?
Full down pipe , modified manifold and decat pipe

I need to know wether te existing wiring from st202 can fit or if need to run whe new loom off new engine.
Also in regards to intercooler what one do I use and can I use standard for now until fit a front mounted at later date ?
And also any other snags or problems or pars I will need along the way.

I need her running at the moment for commuting work and at later date will play at modifying for bhp etc

Thanks in advance people

As far as bolting it in, the 2nd gen 3S is a direct fit for your ST202. The wiring will be a big issue. You'll need to modify the wiring to work in your car. You'll be able to use your trans and axles, but the clutch setup will depend on whether you have an E56 or S54 trans. Overall it's not a bad swap but you'll need to pay someone to do the wiring unless you're brave enough to tackle it yourself. It's around 200 hp, so a lot of cost for not huge gains.
