You will need everything from the 5sfe meaning the compressor also, just swap the 3S with the 5S and you should be fine. Regas and done. I havent finish the swap on mine but Ive got everything bolted up. GL

If you got a clip, make sure you snag the A/C Idle Up VSV while you're at it. My car didn't get one when the swap happened, so no idle up with A/C on, which means stalling when pushing clutch in or trying to idle with the A/C on.
I picked up an Idle Up VSV on ebay for $20 and using some tutelage from Art got it plumbed in and simply wired one end to ground and the other to the A/C Compressor power line. Works like a champ now. I CAN get pics if you need to see them. -------------------- |
