Long time reader, first time poster.
The situation: Got a 1995 GT-S(Canada) with a 5S-FE engine in it and was looking to swap it out for a 3S-GTE(ST205) The question: What would need to be changed/added/purchased in order to do this smoothly? I've read the sticky on the feasible swaps, and I took note to the fact that it is a drop in swap, however, in discussing with a friend of mine, he told me that because it's a JDM motor going into a North American car, the steering may need to be modified/changed. Is this true? Any and all help is appreciated

You guys need to read this:
http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28825 As for the mr2 engine/harness... you are going to make your swap harder by going with these. The wiring harness will be completely different and need to be sent out to someone to be rewired. Also there are alot of small differences in the placement of things like the alternator that will make your swap difficult. Your best bet for success is to start out with a GT car, and use an st205 3sgte. This will be the easiest swap, with the least wiring and headaches. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
