So this is my first real car, I know practically nothing going into this build other then I have to change over the GS wiring to the GST wiring +ECU. It came with a Holset HX40 but doesn’t bolt up to the down pipe so I might need to make some alterations. Any input is always helpful!

The GS harness is almost completely out, time to replace with the GST one. Took off the front headlights/bumper for easier access, also removed the steering wheel to get under the dash easier.

Nice, so this was originally an n/a 4g63?

It was actually the 420a, the car was a 97 gs 420a car originally. But was swapped along its journey.

Gotcha, did you do the engine swapping or was it partially done when you got it? Just curious because alot of ppl ask whats entailed and it's nice to have more details.

It was partially done, all I have done to it is swap out the harnesses so far. I just bought the car on the 17th. Everything looks to be done to convert it to a turbo car outside of the control harness.

Updating the thread, finished all of the wiring and realized how much this car is missing. It lacks AC, heat, and power steering but those are all niceties until I have the proper funds. Currently just waiting on the funds to attempt to start the car, waiting for oil lines, BOV, boost controller, an 02 housing, and intercooler piping. Will update when the parts are in hand and ready to install.
