Re: DSM Help GS to GST conversion
I know most of the parts that are wrong, but I've never done a 1g to 2 g swap...i.e. OBD1 - OBD2 dsm swap...so what else has to be done. Every time I've posted I've asked for documentation or a write up...not why it isn't working...I appreciate you reading and posting, but honestly read the whole thing instead of stating the obvious.

Re: DSM Help GS to GST conversion
First off you NEED to have:
FWD 2g turbo ECU
1g turbo CAS
unplug the damn TPS (otherwise you have a random misfire code and it will run like -------)
2g turbo MAS
these are thing that NEED to happen. I'm not suggesting them. Then check over the wiring. Read this damn article and follow it. http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/article_1g2g.htm
Good luck.

Re: DSM Help GS to GST conversion
try to use as much of the 2g gs-t parts u can. you shoulda jus got a 2g gs-t motor/harness/ecu and you coulda called it a day. basically u gotta convert it to 2nd gen everything since ur using stock management. not positive if the 2g harness can jus be put on the 1st gen. dont kno if all the sensors are the same but thats what u have to pretty much achieve. coulda reduced most of ur problems with the proper motor for ur generation car. it has nothing to do with "na to turbo swap". that hardly means ----... its like any other u jus need the ecu n so forth. match his setup to be like yours. 2nd gen engine harness n blah blah blah. good luck =x

I am just looking for a write up on the turbo swap.
I've already redone all the vacuum and charge lines to teh best I can, put in a new re-circ valve and cleaned up the hoses.

If you knew anything about DSM's, you'd know the 2g 4g63 has an issue with crankwalking. It has been blown a bit outta proporsion if you ask me, but the risk is still there enough that I wouldn't waste my time and money on putting one in when I could have just put in a 1g 6-bolt block instead. The 6 bolt swap is very commonly done by 2g owners.
If you don't know what ur talking about, then just...
