Hi folks!
As some of you know, I have my 25 ST-R since 2007 now. And I love this car. But 175hp (especially combined with the 4-speed A/T) isn't much of fun. It is more a cruiser. Hence we all around here like performance cars, it was the time now, to change the power plant in my car.
Guess what, I have bought myself a FL Legnum VR-4 shell from 1999 (from the car, German-Dave is breaking) with all necessary bits in it (engine, A/T, FL-ECU, wiring loom). I will collect the shell tomorrow and will take some pics.
I'll put this powerplant in my 25 ST-R, without putting the AYC rear diff in. From what I know, the rear diff on a ST-R shall be the same like a VR-4 Type-V rear diff. So hopefully this will work out well. Further, I am not quiet sure, if the interior loom will fit the engine loom, as I think there will be differences between ST-R and VR-4. If necessary, I have to change the interior loom as well.
Before putting the engine in, I'll carry out a complete service to it with cambelt etc. So if you chaps need some proper pics please let me know. I can take some detail pics of the engine / cambelt side, once the engine is out.
I plan to update this thread regularily, depending how the work goes. Unfortunately I can only do this at weekends, so I plan 3-4 weeks for all of this stuff. We will see how it goes.
That's all for now.
