Write-up/How to: AE86 SR-5 to GT-S swap. ***No 56k***

25. Install the GT-S ECU.



26. Exhaust, stock or of your choice.



27. Battery. (No picture necessary I hope!)

At this point everything necessary for the engine to run is installed and hooked up. Might as well start it up and make sure it'll run right. Don't worry, the fun isn't over yet. Be sure to top off all your fluids, hook up your instrument cluster to the dash harness and crank it over with no spark to ensure there is lubrication/oil available. Make sure there is no check engine light once you get it started and running, to set the timing with the engine at running temp.



28. Now that the fun of having a running GT-S motor is over, time to wrap this thing up.

Install the rear differential.



29. Driveline. GT-S recommended, or aftermarket. (But if your not TRD height or lower you can get away with using the SR-5 driveline for a while. From what I remember. Just make sure the driveline is NOT bottoming out against the transmission and you should be ok.)

30. Install the instrument cluster and all the interior you want to reinstall. (I make this line sound easy, but the dash and components alone takes about 1-2 hours.)



31. BLEED YOUR BRAKES. Important, that's why it's in capitals. It'd also be a good idea to adjust your e-brake before putting the wheels on.

Install your wheels, fenders/bumper/hood or anthing exterior you removed for easier access (I recommend removing it, makes it way easier to install/uninstall everything). Put it on the ground. Check for leaks of any kind. If it all looks good, get it running and go for a test drive.

ENJOY!
