you ONLY need the mr2 inners, and alltrac outters if your using the E153.

the S54 uses the stock axles.


it need to be the st185 outter , not the st205, they wont clip[

We actually used ST165 outters, and they work as well.

>lol its ok bro, no changes are necessary for the st215 swap. that motor is bascially the same as the other gens. other minor differences will need modification (ex: cams) but axles can be used from a GT celica and the trans from a V6 solara,Turbo MR2 or the most common, a camry (s54)


i have some pics (i think?) of the axles going in, they are the same will go in without any more trouble than normal.

i serioiusly doubt the axles from a caldina will fit (because is an all wheel drive car)


was also intrested in this swap can you elaborate on the minor differences(ex: cams) that needed modifications for your swap?

hey bro, the differences are minor, the cams on a fourth gen have a notch on the end where it fits into a slot for somthing... i cant remember at the time.... also the rods are from a beams motor and are skinnier than the other generations. he motor is a high compression which means quick spool, but be careful with boost. not much needs to be modified to be honest with you if youre doing a basic swap. its just about the same as other gens in this aspect. it has no spark plug wires, and puts out a bit more hp than the 3rd gen, and is a newer motor, but to be honest, if you want high horsepower get a 3rd gen

thanks for the info. yeah seems the 4th gen is a little better option for me as i'm looking for an alternate replacement option rather than a platform to mod. and they can be sources much more cheaply
