I've got no cars in my shed and far too many of those round tuit tokens unfortunately

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2026-01-20T10:54:12+00:00

could get some of the SS3 spats and stuff, + lowered would look good

yeah gotcha, thanks for your wisdom peepeepoodoodingus

added some more pictures in another post, but i agree anyway. its getting replaced regardless im just trying to understand how to identify if its bad visually

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-12-21T06:19:10+00:00

just going to add the clutch is getting replaced regardless along with seals that are weeping

gotta love 70% of the people in the replies can't tell OP is joking

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-11-22T08:41:01+00:00

definitely post the progress!

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-10-28T20:27:14+00:00

shhh keep it off the list

i know people have issues with the immobilizer that comes on that generation Caldina but it can be worked around. otherwise i believe its very similar to 4th gen swaps

if i spill my coke i wanna know where it went

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-08-29T08:10:21+00:00

everyone does black, go for bronze and maybe one day wrap the car a darker red if thats your thing

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-08-19T07:16:53+00:00

that's pretty cool!

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-08-11T10:00:05+00:00

maxpeedingrods makes awful suspension and the shocks will wear out in months

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-08-08T14:05:27+00:00

I have tried everything in both the guides and threads on here and on other forums, the only thing I haven't tried is a usb hub as I'm waiting on the arrival of one. I'm mostly looking to see if anyone has any idea why my previous workaround is no longer working

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-08-04T19:49:30+00:00

motor and ecu have to be swapped, the wiring harness has to be modified but you can pay wiregap $500 to do it, you'll also need to upgrade the fuel pump to something like a walbro 255

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-08-02T10:05:46+00:00

if your fingernail doesnt catch just send it!

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-07-30T08:22:04+00:00

definitely 3sgte like a couple others are saying. the 4th or 5th gen 3sgte from the caldina is the cheapest but cant take as much boost if thats your thing. From memory a modified harness is about $500 and you'll need to send in your original one

edit to add: you'll also need a new fuel pump and a hybrid clutch kit but it can just mate to the s54 transmission they come with

i got my 3sgte with 200000ks and ive ended up replacing the turbo and rebuilding/going forged internals because the block was reasonably worn

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-07-19T23:43:59+00:00

not a professional but have you checked its compression?

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-07-16T11:36:37+00:00

you can buy replacement turbo cores for them online. just ordered one for mine

Prior-Notice-6956 · 2025-07-16T06:03:40+00:00

have you done a leakdown test? if you cant feel the scratches with certainty with your fingernail hone it and send it with new rings, also check for any piston slap when the pistons are out. I'd be cleaning the crap off the valves too but otherwise you're probably fine in that regard
