3sge Beams into 98 GT Options

[2bcelica]

I've seen a few post with some details for this swap, but not specific enough to give me a direct answer.

I know a few have successfully done this swap and now its my turn to ask for help.

I have a 98 Manual GT and wanted to know if there are any parts or anything I need to look out for when doing this swap.

I will be picking up this Beams next Monday. The harness, ecu, air flow meter, header, shifter, fuel pump, axles, and tranny are included in this set.

Does the harness need to be rewired to work or is it just plug and play?

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Took it for a test drive today. Its not idling very steady, so gotta find out what thats all about. Other then that it handles very nicely. I definitely feel the difference between the 5SFE and the beams. 1st gear is very responsive as well as 2nd. Seems like once it hit 3500k rpm the power kicks in and really takes off. It was very fun to drive. Seems like I have to get use to shifting again - not sure if thats because the new clutch and tranny responds better then my old one.

Over all I'm very pleased. If the beams feels this great I can't imagne how the 3sgte would feel. I'm in love with the 6GC all over again. The new exhaust sounds very good though I gotta say that I may have to turn on the music louder then usual to compensate for the extra noise.

Next on the list:
After market Intake
Wheel spacers
TRD strut bar
Reupholster the interior


I can now say that I am a proud owner of a 3SGE Beams -
