Supershannon77's 3sgte build, WRC st205 3sgte with emspowered s252 turbo kit Options

[supershannon77]

I want to first start the thread with a link to my last thread http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=52431 This is my next big step from all that info.

Here is the story.
I was in love with my 5sfte I drove her with a smile on my face each and every day. After my exhaust feel off at the dwg meet my car started really smoking so at first Jim thought my ebay turbo had finally blown the seals and the oil was just blowing into the downpipe and causing a huge amount of smoke. Well after getting my exhaust fixed it just kept smoking..I should get a video to show u guys bc its bad.

Well Jim and I wanted to check to see if the compression was still good b4 I went and bought a new turbo and that's when we found out cly 2 had 60 compression.

SO we sat down and talked about options for a little while comparing different set ups and different ideas...and my biggest prob was if I had to have it rebuilt I wanted to do it big. So once I asked Jim his brother and Manny what they would do it was clear to me that I had to be a traitor and go to the 3rd gen 3sgte.

We looked for mr2 engine sets with the lsd e153 trans since Jim had spare st205 parts. That way I could have the same setup as Jim's pretty much bc I love how smooth his car drives even tho my 5sfte was more fun and felt faster for a small girl like me have such a smooth driving car is much safer.

Jim decided to go to the local place that sells sets and talk to the guy and this is were I got very excited and decided to start a thread to share my story and experience with this build with you.

At the moment this is what my setup will be:
WRC ST205 3sgte
e153 from a mr2t with lsd
custom turbo kit(no more ebay turbo)

As for now Ill be updating this little by little but it could be a little while b4 another big update..and you will have pictures of me doing work on the car bc ill be helping out with the swap for sure! I am also gonna try to get lots of detailed pictures with explanations!

My old setup is gonna be sold off so if u will be looking for anything please contact me but it might not be ready for at least a month to be shipped.

Here are pictures more to come once the rain stops!
