It says motor set so I would assume that would mean transmision as well. Are these guys reputable? If so I'm gonna be droping my car off to them next year sometime.

The site says the complete front clip, so it would be the tranny, unless they just use the 5s tranny if they can. Isnt the 3s tranny in the clip awd? Well anyway i had no idea a place like this existed in tampa, my home town!?!?!?! It is like god is tempting/hinting at me to do this swap, 4200 is better than i could have ever imagined. Coomer, if you have heard of this place give me some imput man.

Nah, I found the site from another post on here. i emailed them about the swap. They said it includes everything we would need for the swap. We would not need to get any other pieces for them. The guy also told me that they will do other engine swaps.. Just offer them the idea and they will do the research to see if it will fit, if it does, they will install it for you. jeremy |

Does this include a 3 inch exhaust as well? It doesn't say anything about what exhaust the install. I'm sure the auto to manual conversion will cost a little more, but if they have the whole front clip then all the parts should just come off of that.
As soon as I save up enough money I think I'm gonna have them do it. I have about 3k right now. This post has been edited by Rjb23: Jul 12, 2004 - 4:22 PM |

looks like it's time for a trip to tampa!!!!!!!!!
just a few questions though: should i go with the 3rd gen engine since it's only a motor set or would it be better to go with the 2nd gen which is a whole front clip?? i was wondering what tranny they use too cuz i've got an st. anyone have any experience with these guys though??

Wow, this is a dream come true. I'm in Jacksonville.. not too far from Tampa which is nice. I'm definitely going to check into this.
I will also like to be at the meet in Tampa on the 24th.. but I will have to check with my parents being that I recently drove to Virginia (where I still am being that I screwed up my car.)

Jen or anyone in Florida,
If you can check that place out for us that would be awesome. They did tell me that it was a 6-8 week waiting list. Just send them an email. They were very nice in response Jeremy |

just to let any of you guys who were wondering know,
I emailed them with a few questions, They told me it takes about 2 weeks to complete the swap, and their engines vary from 30-60k miles, and they use the 3S-GTE tranny for the swap. --------------------  |

They use the 3sgte tranny? Well maybe they're talking about an mr2 tranny
It wouldn't matter if you went with the font clip or motor set. They're going to keep all extra clip parts (you most likely wouldnt want anyways. Well, maybe, afterall it is jdm, and jdm parts are better then midgets in sacks) most likely. And front clip or not, you've payed for a swap, and it'll get done. If it doesn't bitch or sue St folk, I THINK you guys would needs a whole need tranny. Cuz 3s dont bolt up to ur tranny, do they? The tranny that will come with it is an AWD tranny, so none of us really have use for that. This looks like a great deal. I start to price this out and I think they're great $3,000 for clip (shipping in there) $1,00 for labor (thats what my shop told me) $500 for intercooler LOTS of lil charges for hoses, belts, fuilds, and piping. Not only that, but they dyno it for you too. I know I'll be taking a good hard look at these guys when/ if I go to swap -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

A 3s/5s or any s series will not bolt up to a 7a/4a or any a series transmission, and why would you want to. A 7a transmision would probably last about a month, if your nice to it. A $1.00 for labor that is pretty cheap! Either way its a good deal, they use a spearco FMIC and piping that is about a $1000 not $500. |

I highly doubt the exhuast will be included in that price. Sucks too, exhuast is couple hundred.
There's some other things you guys need to consider with that swap. Sure it cheap and great and only $4,300. But then you should buy: turbo timer boost gauge manual boost controler 3" or 2.5" exhaust (if you dont already have it) You'll be up to 5k in no time -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I emailed them about the exhaust and the auto to manual conversion. Here is what I got in return:
Jennifer, The 3" exhaust would run $275.00 for N1 style muffler with 3" catback piping. Auto to manual would run around $600.00 inlcuding parts and labor. We are now setting up appointments for mid august so let me know when you would like to bring down your car. thanks Adam Friedman XAT Racing 4008 W South Ave Tampa, FL 33614 813-875-RACE www.xatracing.com -------------------- |

I can't go to the Tampa meet to because I have to work.
But I am going to be getting my swap from there towards the end of February or early March when I will have enough money.

I wish i did.....there really needs to be a place in the North East that does the 3SGTE swap. I'm sure theres shops around here that are capable of performing the swap, but they dont advertise it at all, and probably wouldnt know much about what you were trying to do without research. I just wish there were the same kind of shops up here as there are in Cali and Florida... Then again, a trip to Florida could make for a nice road trip.

Im not so sure about that....it takes much longer to get everything right and do the wiring than that. I'm talking professional shops in the Northeast that would perform the swap and do it right. Without having to travel 4000 miles to get it done, that is. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
