hi, im looking at putting a 4th gen beams 3s-ge into my st184,, what sort of work am i lookign at to get this in.. well firstly will it fir.. i understand that it was in the st202 jdm so id *imagine* it should fit.. will it bolt up to the existing transmission in the st184, engine mounts etc..
how difficult is this swap has anyone done it...
i know ppl are going to say 3sgte but insurance is kinda an issue and this will be a daily driver. im not too keen to go turbo.

the motor itself will bolt in. the accessories and wiring is a different matter entirely......

investigate insurance carefully before you jump into an NA conversion. Insurance co's are getting pretty tight about engine conversions and are starting to shaft any hi-po conversion. For example my insurance co wouldn't insure my old pulsar if I had swapped the SR20DE for a SR20VE (still 2L but with variable valve timing).
Location is important though. Conditions/premiums tend to be relaxed the further away from western sydney you get...

at current i have an st184 
ive been debating on what to do.. ive been looking for a gt4 but decent ones seem few and far between. i was considering the 3sgte swap but im not keen on a fwd turbo. and i jsut thought of the jdm 3sge
if i was to get the gear id prob end up with a jdm st202 half cut.
as far as insurance is concerned i havent investigated that as yet i wanted to know if it would work first but ive looked into insurance for a st185 and that isnt a problem.. and im in Newcastle so insurabnce inst too horrid

toof, I like your thinking! When my engine goes, if it does, I would like to stick one of these engines in as I also don't want a turbo FWD, but would enjoy a little more perk... keep us posted on what you do!
