My 3rd Gen 3SGTE Swap Thread, It lives!!! Pg8 Options

[presure2]

So as most of ya know, i've had jenns 94 GT setup with a 5sfte for just about 5 years now, and its time to move on.

after going thru all the options we decided on a 3rd gen 3sgte for all the obvious reasons.
_jim_ has been selling 3s motor sets and clips to a few diffrent members here, and is a good friend of mine, so i gave him a call, and discussed my options with him.
he set me up with a great deal on a clip minus body panels ect, since we already have the '4 front end on jenns car.
he delivered it to my house on friday.
we're pretty sure the clip is a 94, it has ~34,000 miles on it (~55,000km) and is in GREAT shape.

some pics of the progress so far.

once we got the hood and bumper off, this is what we had:





it came with a blitz BOV, blitz spark plug wires, and blitz ground kit.





the turbo has virtually NO shaft play, and spins super free and smooth as butter.



the leader and supervisor of team "JDM guy"



this morning i dropped out the 3s, its much easier to just remove the suspension, crossmembers, motor and tranny as one piece out the bottom.

this pic shows how i lifted the clip up over the motor once i dropped it onto a dolly



the motor with the intercooler off out of the clip:





the suspension and crossmember



and chassis tag:



more to come as progress is made.

thanks, cam, trust me, i cant wait either...lol im trying to be as paitent as possible. haha

so after some deliberation with my team (AKA the wifey and dustin and steff) and looking over things carefully, i've decided to partially unwrap the harness, and re-route it to enter the firewall in the stock LHD location.
so far, i have ~25 wires that will need to be extended, for the DLC, ignitor and coil, IAT (the one in the airbox), reverse light switch, and possibly the speed sensor.
ill get some good pics later and try and make some sense of how it goes down for you guys.
one disclamer i wanna throw out there right now, before i go any further with it.
do not ask me to do your harness work for you, the answer is no. i dont have time for it, and cant charge what this kind of work should cost, so i just wont do it.
and no, i wont walk you thru it, step by step, explaining what wires need to be extended ect. if you cant figure it out by looking at the pics i will post, and looking at your own harness, then figuring the rest out, you shouldnt be touching it anyway. just cut a hole, like most swappers do, and be done with it. it works and its proven.
sorry for the rant, but i get enough of those exact kind of pm's everyday. lol
more to come this afternoon.
