such a detailed thread, great pics and great explanations, to you. cant wait to see some finished pics and video

 

I completely forgot about the other thread I made.

It has some "finished" pics and a start-up video, nothing on the road though.

 

Damn, where did you pick up the Aristo swap? Would you recommend them? Price (if you don't consider it rude to ask)?

 

I picked up the engine, transmission, wiring harness and ECU from a friends local shop here in Calgary. I paid $2600 cad for it.

 

if it only cost 2600 for the motor, trans ,ecu and what not where did the other 12000 go to besides the turbo kit? any pics ofthe car now, did you get your kit, suspention and wheels yet? if not i would say get the 20'' woks, oh and i forgot to say say congrants on the swap, it looks sweet. and all that in a tiny *** garage, wow, i bet it is a blast to drive. time to go mustang hunting

 

engine management ($5000), fuel system ($1200), exhaust ($1800), GReddy Aristo 4row intercooler kit ($2200) the list goes on and on. I basically bought everything that was bolt on, so there was little or no fab work involved. you could do it for much cheaper buying universal stuff and making it work. I haven't gotten THE wheels that I want yet, but i did pick up a set of L-tuned model IV's in the 19" variety that I will be rolling on for a while. I haven't been able to do anything else, just trying to save up some more money to get what I want. The car is a FREAKING blast to drive. hearing the big *** turbo spool and take off is awesome. I'm building a house at the moment and it has a massive (compared to what I did the swap in) 24' x 32' double car garage with a 4 post lift. 6 speed swap coming in the summer or fall. Mustang's are for lightweights lol I'm looking for Z06 Corvette's

Could you run stock ECU if you wanted?

 

yes you can

 

Awesome - Thanks man. Having a pre 01 GS300, makes this a pretty easy choice, when it comes to doing the NA-T or the GTE swap.

I see the wire you switch on the ignitor, but I think I missed a couple posts about the other 3 wires you had to move over. Not sure if you still have that documented anywhere?

This is a great write up, I plan on doing my the same.

Thanks for your help.

I didn't take post any pics of that wiring, I'll have to take a look on my computer and see if I have any of them. I know I took some, i just don't know where they are.

Thanks, I might be able to get some other pics/vids soon. Looks like the weather might be nice to me finally!!
