You know, I never thought about that before. The only connections on the trans are the speedometer and neutral switch, no way for the ECU to know gearing. I read about the vsv limiting boost by gears ...

Thats for the ST205, right? 12psi stock boost (limited to 10 in first gear) and 8psi under failsafe mode.
For the 165/185, the stock boost level is spec'd as 7-11psi in the BGB, but thats taken at the...

It was on my 3rd gen 3S (basically a 3SGTE but using a 3SGE motor to start with).
I didn't upgrade the pump because I was curious what it could do. I still believe the pump is suitable for the

The stock fuel pump in my 96 ST finally reached it limits last week and chocked at around 16 / 17 PSI of boost. I thought I hit fuel cut at first, but I didn't get the usual warning light and was able...

Ouch, 3SFE - that sucks. All of the economy and none of the performance. 3SGTE is the way to go.
I personally like the 3SGE for big power build-ups. The 3SGTE is definitely the way to go, especially ...

yeah, buy a gt4 - it will likely be cheaper in the long run and you get AWD, which is a huge bonus.
Otherwise,
Swapping to the 3SGTE or converting your 3SGE will cost around the same amount. Both have...

It depends on what your end goal is - how much HP do you want to have? Or better yet, what do you want your car to do?

The 5SFE can take a lot of abuse, the stock rods/crank can handle 400HP.
I was under the impression that the stock 5SFE compression was 9.8:1 =

The difference between the 205 and 185 HP is only around 45HP, so yes, its really easy to get the 185 to the same HP as the stock 205 for much less then the cost of a 205 motor.
From there though, the...

When it comes to fitting any 3SGTE into the 6th gen, there will always be harness modifications. The main difference is the Fuse box - I've found it easier to use the stock harness that came with the ...

I put gen 2 3GTE pistons into a gen 3 3SGE. No issues.
The rods are all the same too, as is the crank.
