Demetri's 85 st215 swap

[bpoilspill]

Hello everyone, to begin with this car has power goals of 500-600hp, and purely a track car with some minor occurrences on the street. Car was in bad condition when I first bought it, but slowely she will be pristine again. Motor going in is a ST215 out of a Caldina. Have a MS3X I built and so far works. I also started on the engine harness a couple days ago. Buddy of mine is doing all the work in regards to the engine mounts, so I've been doing other things to get the car ready to go.

These axles are 91 Camry V6 axles that bolt in but are a little longer than turbo non lsd mk2 axles.

Why not get goukys rear axle conversion to mk2 axle hubs hell of a lot stronger than the mk1 st185 outer cv, you can use the turbo shafts all the way through then and eliminates the hub weakness of the st165/185cv joint.

As I think you will be on the limit with 400bhp through the mk1 st185 outer cv if drag or street racing, mate of mine snapped two drive cages on the outer cv joints with 385bhp.

I've been wanting to do mk2 hubs, have a thread link?

[adamh]

good luck with the project, that looks like an early one, you don't see them in that condition over here, its pretty good.

There's no thread sorry as Marc (gouky on here) makes the kit to do this, pm him he's based in the states but he's a Canadian but we won't hold that against him lol.
He can do five stud and if you ask nicely he could probably do 4 stud fitment but don't quote me on that, I have the kit fitted to my project wallet rape and if I can't brake it no one will.

And remember torque wins races bhp just wins bragging rites in the pub/bar.

Wiring is almost finished, gouky on here is going to send me modified hubs to fit the mk2 axles once I get my tax returns.

[snowtigger]

He's a great bloke to know wish he was over here fantastic bloke, the hubs kit he makes you will not be disappointed with it.

[bpoilspill]

Continued the wiring, and I'm almost done. Megasquirt is in and working, even got the coils to fire. Just have to hook up a couple more sensors, and start making everything pretty, also have to get my grounds in order.

Lovely build!

Looking forward to seeing your further progress :)

[Jiff Lemon]

Nice to see a ST215 getting a build.... Just be extra carefull with the driveshafts - make sure they engage fully into the diff, we use to have nightmares with 'em!

[adamh]

nice shots, backyard swaps.. ace!

[bpoilspill]

back from the dead, just started it up today, has no coolant in it so I shut it off early. I'm trying to find out what sensor part no goes in the gen 3 waterneck, I already have the sender.
