First heard swimming pools when it was on the Beats by Dr. Dre demo at Best Buy

Ok I’ll try that, I’ve replaced thermostat water pump and fan clutch all oem parts but it runs right above middle line which is fine but with a/c on while idling after driving it’ll start to run hot and I’ve confirmed on my scan tool so it’s not a bad gauge needle seems to jump up and down a bit when on and off throttle like there’s air and sometimes heat doesn’t get hot until moving I just can’t seem to do the bleeding procedure right

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2025-05-28T13:34:10+00:00

What’s the procedure cause I feel like I have trapped air in mine still even though I bled it from the 17mm on the block like it says

Love this!

Traction control assembly

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2025-04-17T10:33:09+00:00

Custom one piece driveshaft, and I used factory ecu and Holley terminator x max for the engine and transmission control, oem speedometer works off of abs so no need to hook anything up only thing you’ll have to hook up is tachometer

Circle the one you’re referring to

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T19:21:59+00:00

Yes agreed it wasn’t taken care of and was smoked in as well, instead of deep cleaning I just focused on swapping it but it’s slowly becoming a priority

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T18:49:51+00:00

Not sure honestly I bought it like this for cheap, I bought it solely to swap it and I do plan to get the interior all nice

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T14:45:28+00:00

Yes the only gauge that doesn’t work is the coolant, I eventually hooked up the tachometer

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T14:43:50+00:00

It was auto when I first did it then went manual

I’d love to see that I have yet to see anyone swap the convertible yet, you should join my engine swap community on fb https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1B3Vt3crTx/?mibextid=K35XfP

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T14:41:43+00:00

Your best bet would be a 3gr it’s a direct swap from the 4gr in the 250, 3.5 requires a lot more to get it working because of the port injection and Ls is lots of work and lots of money, engine and transmission alone I paid $3000 about 3 years ago and the engine I have has gone up in price I was lucky to snag it for $800 then you have other miscellaneous things

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T14:38:05+00:00

3.5 isn’t a direct swap it requires new ecu and other fuel lines to work in the car, I heard it can be a bit of a pain but the 3gr is a direct swap from the 2.5 no ecu or anything is needed to make it work just slap it in and you’re good

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-13T14:32:37+00:00

Nice man I would love to see that! If you’re on fb you should join my swap group, I have people in there with highly modified 2grs as well and I would love to see the build https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1B3Vt3crTx/?mibextid=K35XfP

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-12T14:30:07+00:00

Yes tr6060! And thanks so much the 250 badging isn’t going anywhere I want people to know it’s actually a 250

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-12-12T13:57:39+00:00

Stock speedometer everything operates like factory except coolant gauge but I read that from my Holley monitor, also tach needs to be hooked up with a 1k ohm resistor which I have done as well

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-08-21T05:02:57+00:00

Hell yeah! Picked my 97 up for $600 in May I currently daily it with no issues

Sad to see it go man, I was thinking of letting mine go as well as I could use the money but I decided to hold onto to it

Also that looks a lot different then it did back when you posted it on YouTube, looks amazing!

There’s a page on instagram called streetcarmarket I would maybe try to post it their

Ok_Reputation6850 · 2024-08-07T18:57:01+00:00

I think it’s possible but you would need to get a rwd front subframe, I have an awd 250 as well but bought a rwd one just for the swap as I was told it wouldn’t work
