the 4th gen 3s....(aka st215), people dont seem to like it much? Options

[easternpiro1]

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!

yeah so the quick 280-290 HP daily driver that (hopefully) only requires a little bit more maintaning than the car does now yeah i think youll be happy with the ST215 (260) with some minor bolt ons/supporting mods/ a little extra boost (+20or so) and if you have to maybe a different turbo putting you around 300-315 and with the supporting mods

of course all of this is dependant on the fact there isnt a huge diffence in wiring or anything like that that can be worked out

(edit for thread above: im talking flywheel HP hes talking wheel HP (i assume) and my numbers are of course brand new booklet numbers not real life running of a motor a few years old so i think were both about right)

(edit again cause im slow) sounds like tweak made up his mind on the ST215 and he'll be more than happy working with it youll be more than happy with it in your car
