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.

Heres another place to check out:
IA Motorsports GT-2 Conversion Probably pretty comparable to XAT in price after the custom intercooler and tranny swap. |

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. |
