ST165 Swapping the suspension out! Here is the working in progress: [Updated 4/18/07] 5/13/07 Updated ST162 Halftrac with JDM Gen2 3sgte NEW FMIC
Great Job. I did the same swap, what are you doing about you Top mount intercooler. and also, which vac line did you connect to the charcoal canister. i dont think i connected mine at the right spot.
Thanks 88ST162. I have a FMIC now and I have to take updated pictures! I used 2.25" piping going in and 2.5" piping coming out. My core is 30"x9"x3.5". I rewired the entire car as you already have been there. I am running a 93 JDM MR2 ECU which is the most unique ECU out of the GEN2 3sgte. I am pushing 14psi of boost bone stock with no fuel cut! I custom made a 3" stainless steel exhaust from turbo back. I will try to tak some more pictures soon! Thanks, Chris The canister, I connected the vacuum line from the fuel tank (to the large port on top) and the other: http://www.alltrac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6396&highlight=vacuum+diagram
I am using the Koyo radiator from a 94-99 GT Celica. We had to cut the actual mounts and remount the new radiator. It was a very close fit and it sits a 1/4" above the front support. Thanks, Chris
pics from my get together with willie this weekend. the powdercoated rear for the 165 with all the new bushings and mounts and some interior shots of the 162 165 162
looking better and better. where did you get the thing for your gauges (on the right side). i've been trying to find one for a while.
I am using Intrax Srings, (4) KYB AGX Struts (Did the conversion), Goodridge Stainless Steel Brakelines, SuperPro poly bushings, new spherical bushings, new wheel bearings with seals, rebuilt calipers, new rear diff seals, new fuel pump also. I sandblasted every part and then I powdercoated everything. I powdercoated all the suspension parts black, all the nuts and bolts silver. I powdercoated all the exhaust heat sheilds and brackets silver also. I cleaned the bottom of the car and hand brushed POR 15 all over the bottom of the car. I installed a new fuel pump and also painted that. I did everything and I am now putting it back together. More pictures to come! I just finished powdercoating my calipers red too! Thanks, Chris Snyder
I finally finished the suspension in the St165. Next is the RC swap in that car! Thanks, Chris Snyder
