It really drives awesome, torque steer wasnt so bad as ive heard people say. the spec stage 2 clutch feels amazing, very easy for daily driving. almost kept up with my friends 05 G35, but he had alot more traction heh. new exhaust is going in tuesday, 2.5in stainless with 2 magnaflow straighthru mufflers.

minimal problems though, hood hits the top of the intercooler! guess ill need that Gt4 front end sooner than i thought. idle is a little rough, but well see if removing the ghetto exhaust setup i got right now will change it. no cruise control for now! could wire it up no problem, thing is no room for the cruise motor, oh well.

overall wiring the car from a st204 to st205 involved wiring 8-9 wires (mostly fuel pump and intercooler stuff), extending 7 wires (a/c amp plug) and running one wire from under hood to inside the car for the SRS. was very easy. if anyone has questions let me know

easier wiring
lower milage
w2a IC
no AFM

cheeco, so as far as the wiring, its just the fuelpump relay and COR that you have to add in to make it run, right? that makes it really easy !

didnt have to touch the C/OPN relay, actually the 5sfe and st205 relays were the same(bolted onto the ECU). i suppose if someone was extremely lazy they could just jump the DLC for fuel, and the car would run. no w2a IC though. this would only work on a 5sfe, ive seen the 7a diagrams, and they have alot of differences.

oh and screw the PS reservoir!!!! smile.gif

looks good man....good to hear the wiring is minimal..i think that will encourage more people to go with the 205 setup...which is a good thing..most 185 clips are going on 14-15yrs old, regardless of milage.

haha! Thats actually a pretty good price. You should always start out a swap expecting to pay way more then that for a clip.

People who do engine swaps to get more power can't resist the temptation to buy and install a boost controller..... wink.gif Congrats on the swap.
QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

^ true. Art said it best. Boost is highly addictive.
