Umm, have you read the link in my sig?<p>You have to lengthen the IAC/BAC wires, these are the wires that originally went to the IAC located just under your throttle body on your SOHC motor. I also relocated the solenoid that was located on the SOHC intake manifold to the firewall, this required longer wires as well. You cannot buy the clutch for the Capri as it uses a different input shaft. Go to the Centerforce website and cross reference a clutch that matches the dimensions of the sohc version. I used an older model 323, I believe the PN is in my link. The SOHC ecu will run it but most likely poorly, get the Pro LX ecu and it will run fine. The B6T that you purchased should have the fuel rail still, therefore it will have the fpr. You can get away with the fpr for low boost.

1. yes
2. no<p>Is the write up that I did for the swap not accurate enough? Is it not clear? Let me know if it needs improving as I thought it had all this info.<p>Thanks

just use the Sohc mx-3 tranny (and clutch). or swap in the pro lx drive train. I like the short gears in the mx tranny but jwmotorsports loves his pro lx tranny swap.
the pro lx tranny is beefier and can handle more power but takes forever to wind out the gears(and spool) due to the massive flywheel, but then again you can always swap that unit out for a fidanza.

takes too long to wind out? you smokin' the rock??

<p>the pro lx tranny has short gears similar to the mx tranny. i'd like to know if you can swap in a taller 5th gear as highway driving sits around 4-4.5k rpm.
