5S FE to 3S GE

[LeaThaL]

well i dont have anywhere to do it around my joint so i have to get a mech to do it and they wont unless you get the crank grinded and polished and shit so eh, in comes the 3sge i say

in terms of emissions legality both 2nd and 3rd gen 3sge engines were avaliable in australia so emissions shouldnt be an issue (they were fitted to sw20's)

i never really thought about emmisions lol, well ill just use that till i get a gen 2 or three later, just not get pulled over

Hey mate, the early 5S cranks only have a 6 stud flywheel. Most of the 3S run a 8 stud, but I've heard of some gen1's running a 6 stud, just take a look. Keep the 3S dizzy, it'll probably have a different plug to the 5S item.

i know this is waking a dead thread and such but im also looking at doing the convert as my s big end is going and im too lazy to spend the $1500 i was told to fix it so i got a 3sge gen 1 here that i got for $200 including ecu loom and such but what i wanna know is cause the engine was on a auto do i have to get a new flywheel or will my 5s-fe flywheel and clutch blot up to it, and also will my dizzy and shit do too, as ive been told it will but i wanna be in the clear

cheers

early 5S engine had a 8 bolt crank as well, the only 3S that had 6 bolt were some 3SFE's
