Well after one year of being parked and half a summer of work. I bring you this..........









97 ST Limited
93 3SGTE-RC swap
JDM 3SGE Tranny
3SGE axles
Spec stage 3 clutch
Fidanza light weight flywheel
Gauges, pump, and some other goodies

Brought it up to 95 MPH, running 6 to 7 pounds with 300 miles total on it since the swap.
Problems other than a restrictive exhaust.... none
All the gaskets, hoses, and belts replaced.
The car pulls straight & hard.

Just waiting now for the clutch to break in and a new full 3 inch exhaust.

Manny, Jenn, Dustin, Dave and Andrei thanks for the help. With out you guys this wouldnt have been done till 2007 haha.

Once I clean up the car some more I'll get ya some better pics of the engine. Right now I'm still in testing phase. After a nice engine detail and some wax, I'll throw up some better pics.

Thanks 6GC.net
Enjoy

wow, that is so sexy. YOU EVEN KEPT THE STOCK TURBO AIRBOX!!
that is an ultimate sleeper, when a cop ask you to open your hood you can claim its completely stock. haha

How does the engine sound? how is the 3sge tranny working? lsd? what was the issue with the mounts?

Engine sounds great, I love it so freaking awesome. I have a nonLSD 3sge tranny its very beefy so i doubt I'll have any trouble with it. I was told that st205 mounts would work with my swap but they didnt, so I had to track down GT mounts

might want to ask supersprynt how to wire up the intercooler pump... cause he just got his water to air not to long ago.

i always thought it was just an electric pump that runs off the cars main ecu or can be hardwired on.

In his case he put a W/A on a regular st185. I have an RC edition engine, its a totally different engine. He's not getting a code 54 because his engine never had a stock W/A setup.

In my case, I have a ST185RC that came stock with the set up. I have to wire up the intercooler ECU. It controls every function of the pump and sensor. Once I wire it up, I just have to jump some wires that go to the plug for the ECU then I can trash the IC-ECU.

I'm going to do this over the weekend hopefully I can finish.

Thanks alot guys
