ive been researching about the 215 swap that the good DR will be putting in for me and ive gotten alot of good advice, what i dont understand fully is how can the st215 be so different from the 185 and the 205? i was told looking for replacement parts would be a NIGHTMARE if at all possible, but the engine is mostly identical to an st185 and 205. im confused, someone please clear this up for me and provide more insight!

There will be no plug wires on this engine since it's distributorless. Gaskets from an ST205 will probably work for most of it but that's just the problem, no one knows for sure.

This thread has the best pics I could find of the Coil-On-Plug system... It's very much like what you find on sportbikes and alot of newer engines. http://www.mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=83134 -------------------- Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
