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!

Personally I wouldn't do it. Most I would go for is ST205... but you are the one paying for all that unknown wiring to get done... I know that ignition parts and even the map sensor for the ST205 can be sourced in the USA off of other USDM toyota's.. and I believe it is phattyduck on this forum who knows what is up with that situation.. IIRC.

I've put an ST205 motor in my Camry, but that's not too relevant to this conversation. Most USDM 3s-gte maintenance parts work on the 3rd gen (and I'd assume '4th' gen). Its other replacement parts that get hard to find. Champion Toyota can get 3rd gen parts easy, but the 4th gen path doesn't seem to be often travelled. I got all the correct stock parts for my car and all my sensors worked, so I haven't had to do any troubleshooting yet...Good luck with the motor! -Charlie -------------------- 2003 Subaru WRX Wagon
