Heya,

I've been wondering about doing this conversion for a while now... I have a complete SSII sat in my drive. The Mcpherson on my car is in need of some TLC and thought i'd give transplanting it off the doner a go instead.

Just wondering if someone can help me with a few things. Most information out there seems to be going the other way, from SS to McP.

I've heard mixed things on if i need to remove the whole steering rack and put that in as well, some people seem to say the tie rods are shorter on the SS setup. Just from looking at it i can't really see a big difference.

Also looking to slap the twin pots onto the front, guessing that will go with no issues?

The only thing that concerns me is the spline on the driveshafts, do i need to use the shafts from the old car as well?

Thanks for any help you can give me, feel free to call me mad for wanting to do this as well.

so if the ss2 has superstrut then it has lsd.

swap the lot over if this is the case.

hell u may even want to swap the motor or the head and the ecu, your UK one will have an EGR valve and a less aggressive tune than the JDM ecu.
