Where in aurora are you? Also what questions did you have?

This should help:

2g Engine Bay Electrical Connections

I'm off chambers and hampden. Yes, I have that link, which has helped A TON. Still needing to find little details like where things are mounted etc.... In the middle of inventory and buying missing parts.

I see you're close. I'd love to be able to take a peek!

I could bring mine by but not sure how much it will help.

I actually just bought a '95 last night. Going to merge the two. I may have a question here and there, but should be good now. Does yours have AC?

Grn95GST · 07-27-2012, 03:59 PM

Nope, ac was gone when I bought it. Good luck.

New update in case anyone cares... The original GSX I got actually has a 1g engine swap. So I researched last night and am ready to start work. Still in need of AC components. Anyone know of a salvage yard that has 2g parts?

I can look and see what all i have for the ac, i know i have a condenser is that something youd need? but it is possible i have all the lines and pump just not positive

Absolutely, any help would be great. I got a compressor so far. Need the mounting brackets for the 1G engine. I know I need 2G mounts... Tomorrow is a day off work in which I will be A) hitting a junk yard, and B) trying to get as much done under the hood as possible. Got a bunch of labels so when I switch parts over, i'll know where they belong. I'm super excited.

Next time i visit my garage ill remember to grab all i have and its yours, just gotta come pick it up

So right now I am trying to sort out a few things. First, I need to figure out what the Evaporative Purge Solenoid is and if I'm missing the black box in the picture. Shown here: 2g Engine Bay Electrical Connections. Then I need to figure out what I do with the MDP sensor that I don't have for the 1G intake manifold. Figure out the knock sensor and finding it (1G doesn't have it?). Where to mount the Ignition Power Transistor. There's also a sensor under one of the timing belt? Or one of the belts that the 1G didn't have. Off to find answers before I get back under the hood.

Also, was there a change in the plug or wires for the coolant reservoir plug? I cannot find the same color ones in my 97 that are in the 95.

Ok, the crank position sensor is the one I couldn't figure out. But also figured out with the reqiring of the cam shaft sensor, it'll be handled. On to the next few....

And search is your friend again. Figured out the MDP sensor problem. Holy smokes, I'm almost done. I did have to order the MDP sensor adaptor. Now I just need to figure out this evap purge prob and the coolant reservoir prob.
